Deadline Vol. 1 #1 (of 4)

PAINTED COVER BY GREG HORN

BILL ROSEMANN (W)/GUY DAVIS (P & I)

• THE SCOOP: What’s it really like to be a reporter the Daily Bugle?
Find out in an urban noir thriller illustrated by Guy Davis (The Marquis)!

• THE STORY: What’s it like to write about Marvel’s larger-than-life
superhumans… especially if you think they’re a bunch of immature brats? Rookie
reporter Katherine Farrell hates “The Capes”. They wear ridiculous costumes.
They have petty feuds. They run around destroying public property when real
heroes like cops and firemen are sacrificing their lives to help others. But,
hey, Kat’s a newbie, so it’s the beat she’s stuck with. That is, unless she can
nail a big story and move up to the City Crime Desk next to her hero Ben Urich.
Trouble is, her career, not to mention her life, is threatoned when she uncovers
the identity of a super-villian serial killer – a new super hero designed by
Editor In Chief Joe Quesada!

• THE CREATORS: If you loved Guy Davis’ pulp stylings in Sandman
Mystery Theatre and Neverman, just wait until you see his first series for
Marvel! Plus: it’s written by Your Man @ Marvel Bill Rosemann, and features
computer painted covers by ELEKTRA’s Greg Horn!

• THE BUZZ: “The series sounds like a cross between MARVELS, which
presented a look at super-heroes through the eyes of a journalist, ABC’s Top Ten
and Image’s Powers… I’m intrigued.” -Mike Sangiacomo, Cleveland Plain
Dealer

• THE FORMAT: The debut issue of this monthly, 4-issue mini-series is
32 pages, with ads.
