J. Michael Straczynski to write improbable Marvel team-up one-shot script in 2025

In a surprising turn of recent events, Marvel Comics has announced that legendary author J. Michael Straczynski will return in 2025 to write a series of one-shot stories about unlikely team-ups. Starting with the highly unlikely pairing of Doctor Doom and Rocket Raccoon, each of these new issues by Studzinski will feature a unique story, starting on January 22nd.

“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 in a Marvel press release. “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.”

The series is in the spirit of best-selling comics such as Jonathan Hickman and Sanford Green’s Doom and Chip Zdarsky and Daniel Acuña’s Avengers: Twilight. These runs will be joined by an impressive line-up of artistic talent: Will Robson, Bernard Chan, Elena Casagrande, Germán Peralta, Juan Ferreira, and Phil Noto.
