More Marvel/Taco Bell news!

April 20th, 2009
Author David Pepose

Now that’s a crossover you didn’t see coming, eh?

We reported last week that Taco Bell has begun giving out one of four original comics in their kids meals, which I thought was a pretty good idea considering Captain America, Thor, and the Avengers had their own feature films coming out in the next year.

Now, regular Rama readers already know that X-Infernus writer C.B. Cebulski would be teaming up with NYX’s Sara Pichelli on an original Fantastic Four tale — but Cebulski has said via his blog who the others on board are:

AVENGERS
Written by Joe Caramagna
Illustrated by Cory Hamscher
Colored by Chris Sotomayor

THOR
Written by Paul Tobin
Illustrated by Allan Jefferson
Colored by Chris Sotomayor

CAPTAIN AMERICA
Written by Joe Caramagna
Illustrated by Scott Koblish
Colored by Chris Sotomayor

FANTASTIC FOUR
Written by C.B. Cebulski
Illustrated by Sara Pichelli
Colored by Val Staples

Just in case you don’t have your scorecard, I did a little bit of research on the talent involved. You may have seen Paul Tobin with his other work in Marvel’s excellent kids line, including Marvel Adventures: Fantastic Four and Doctor Doom and the Masters of Evil. Cory Hamscher, meanwhile, has drawn projects such as Marvel Adventures: Spider-Man, Marvel Adventures: Fantastic Four, and G.I. Joe.

Scott Koblish, meanwhile has worked on projects ranging from Marvel Adventures to Legion of Three Worlds (and he has some preview art of the Captain America project here). Now, the wild cards in this project have to be Captain America writer Joe Caramagna — the creator of of indie Model Operandi as well as a letterer for comics such as Cable and the Punisher — and Allan Jefferson, an artist who I last saw doing a guest stint in Justice League of America #16.

Either which way, Rama readers, you’ll have to spread the word, and let us know how the comics are!

    They’re short little things, not terrible, but the best part is each one has a Chris G. Mighty Marvels strip! (My Oldest son and I hit Taco Bell yesterday specifically for these!)

    Scott Koblish talks about his 11-page Captain America story (and previews several pages) here:
