“I like to go to fun places, and the idea of bringing together Marvel characters who have never been paired together before, or who have only minimally been paired together, seemed like a lot of fun. , I had even more fun than I expected,” Straczynski explained. “For the first time in China, we get to see the original Nick Fury and the Flying Tigers as they battle the newly awakened Finn Fang Foom… Join Rocket Raccoon and Doctor Doom as they travel to the edge of space and time. Let’s see… Ghost Rider go bang with none other than Galactus… Aunt May gets caught in the middle of a supernatural battle with Agatha Harkness… The more unlikely the pairing, the more outlandish the combo The more I enjoyed it, the more I enjoyed watching it come to life. I’ve been following the news for this series for over a year now, and I finally found out it’s going to be on newsstands starting in January. I’m very excited.”
