We are happy to announce that Jimmy has taken Painkiller Jane to Marvel Comics under the Icon imprint.  It is important to note, Marvel is just hosting the comic, she is still first and foremost Jimmy and Joe’s creation and ownership.  The first mini-series is scheduled for November this year with art by Juan Santacruz on the main story with Sam Lofti doing backup stories in the book.  Amanda Conner is on covers.  We were also able to snag Dave Johnson to design a snappy new logo for Jane.

In other news, Jimmy and Justin have taken on a very exciting new project in co-operation with Amazon, under their exclusive Jet City Comics imprint.  This will be a Kindle only distribution to start with.  Justin and Jimmy will be adapting the novel series Wool.
