Here at Evil Genius Comics we tend to focus on the underdog...

No, not that Underdog, though I have the utmost respect for Shoeshine Boy's alter ego (though Shoeshine himself was kind of annoying). No, I mean the indy comic underdogs.

Anywawy, even though the Big Two get enough press to choke Galactus with still enough left over to make Ego the Living Planet request a steak knife, I felt like this project, due out April 7, 2010, deserved some recognition. This will be Zalben's first Marvel series. He was published by Marvel in Hulk Team-Up with a back-up to that one-shot with Allison Blaire, the Dazzler, developing the hots for little ol' Bruce Banner. Many reviewers found the back-up a better piece than the main story. Now Zalben's getting a four issue mini pairing Thor with the Power Pack...oh, and the real selling point for me, the Pet Avengers get mixed in as well!

Need more than the solicitation below to help you decide to pick this book up in April? Then check out these interviews at Newsarama and Marvel.com, Zalben's blog, and his video seen world wide, Minesweeper: The Movie (after the solicitation):
