Outside the Box: Eisner award winning team to head the new "Mars Attacks" comics

In the past I've posted news that IDW comics had obtained the licensing for the "Mars Attacks!" franchise (found here).

This was incredible news to me because I've always been a huge fan of the series.

 From the kooky 1996 film to the reissued cards to the 90's line of comics, it's a uber-crazy franchise that just keeps on giving.

(Giant robotic ants with surgically attached heads, three-boobed women, Martians playing baseball with people's heads as the bases...what more could anyone ask for?)

Now comes word that IDW has the creative team assigned for this new series, and who they've picked has me doubly excited now.

None other than writer John Layman and artist John McCrea will spearhead this thing!

John Layman of course was the recent author for the fantastic "Godzilla: Gangsters and Goliaths" series, while John McCrea famously handled the pencils for the much renowned DC "Hitman" series.

Trust me everybody, after learning who will comprise this team this new series is in capable hands.  If you haven't read "Mars Attacks!" comics before, now's your chance to get started.  You won't regret it.
