First Look: RED SKULL #1

Hushed whispers cut across Battleworld. One of the most vile villains in history still straws breath. But how can this be? He should be dead! And yet his legend grows even stronger. Today, Marvel is pleased to present your first look at RED SKULL #1 – a brand new Secret Wars limited series from rising star writer Josh Williamson (Nailbiter, Birthright) and artist Luca Pizzari (Amazing Spider-Man Special)! The Red Skull should be dead. Banished by Doom to the Shield long ago. If the zombies haven’t gotten to him, the Ultron robots or Annihilation bugs should have! And yet word has reached the other side that he still lives, quietly amassing an army, prepared to strike!

Now, a team of unlikely villains – Magneto, Winter Soldier, Lady Deathstrike, Electro, Moonstone and Jack O’Lantern will venture beyond safety to find the truth for themselves. Only problem – nobody ever comes back from beyond the Shield alive! Witness the horrors of Battleworld in a new way as Williamson and Pizzari unleash RED SKULL #1 on the masses this July!

Looks great

For sure picking this one up.

Suicide Squad-ish.

Definitely looks interesting

Might take a look. The story premise sounds solid.

I love the idea of WInter Soldier and Magneto being Natzi Hunters

I love the idea but always find it hard getting into villain books.

Would be more interesting if there was a difference between the marvel heroes and the marvel villains. Or if they didn't keep switching sides.

Making a comic about a nazi isn't progressive marvel

i might check it out.

More like Thunderbolt-ish.

I love that Moonstone's yawning. It's like, "Here we go again! Back on the Thunderbolts merry-go-round!"

@cgoodness: Its not about a nazi, its about a group of villains and WS fighting a "world" ruled by one.

I like the art but, I think it would better suited for a comedic comic instead of a (presumably) serious one

Cool to see that Moonstone is still around.

Not a fan of the art but the premise is still interesting enough for me to pick up.

This is one of the most unique and interesting team comps ive seen in a while.

I really like this line up.

^This is fantastic. I will buy anything with Magneto. It is about the only hold Marvel has over me anymore.

And why does every comic need to have some progressive motivation? Its a comic book, not a political pamphlet.

Not big on the art but I might check it out still. Sounds pretty interesting.
