“As a fan, this was the first Kirby creation I was in on the ground floor of… so to be writing this series is a big deal and a huge honor,” says writer Joe Casey. “And we’ve got some of the best artists in the business — a lot of my favorite artists, in fact — to turn this thing into a jam of cosmic proportions. And just like Kirby always did, we’re going to be pushing the envelope in all sorts of cool ways.”
“I am very pleased to announce that one of my father’s iconic characters will once again be part of the world of Dynamite Entertainment,” adds the Trustee of the Kirby Family Estate, Lisa Kirby. “Nick Barrucci has brought together a very talented team of people, which include writer Joe Casey and artist Nathan Fox. Through them Captain Victory and the Galactic Rangers will be introduced to a whole new generation, and for those already familiar with The Captain and his team, I am sure you’ll be entertained as well!”
“We’ve wanted to relaunch the universe of characters by the late, great Jack Kirby, but wanted to wait for the right creative team to help us reintroduce the characters to comic fans,” states Dynamite CEO/Publisher Nick Barrucci. “Joe Casey is a huge fan, and is bringing his own voice to these fantastic characters. We spoke about the direction he thought would engage fans, and Nathan Fox’s participation just sealed the deal. This series has been in the works for over a year as both Joe and Nathan had to fit it in to their schedules, and we did not wish to rush the series. I have to say, I couldn’t be happier. Fans are going to be ecstatic with Joe and Nathan’s story and art for the series.”
