 Peter
Cannon, Thunderbolt, is in weird position. He is more known as the direct
inspiration for a character in Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’s Watchmen in the
form of Ozymandias than as a character in his own right. He has had some solo
series but none have caught on. Dynamite Entertainment is trying again with a
five-issue limited series from Wicked & Divine’s Kieron Gillen and Caspar
Wijngaard. Gillen will ignore everything save for the origin so the DC run never
happened. He will use the series to show what makes him different from everybody
else. Peter Cannon doesn’t even have an interest in being a superhero. He’s been
given these ancient scrolls not because he deserves it but because of his
parents did something to help the monks’ years ago. So he has to be tricked into
saving people by his companion, Tabu. And if this sometimes makes Peter
unlikable Gillen is fine with that.
It all begins with PETER CANNON THUNDERBOLT #1
of 5 which ships with
two standard covers and is currently scheduled to arrive on New Comic
Wednesday-013019 with a $3.99 cover price. As always it will be
Alternate Reality "1st Day Sale" priced at 25% OFF ($2.99!) on
