\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Beta Ray Bill recently made a thunderous appearance in the pages of Donny Cates and Nic Klein\u2019s epic run on\u00a0Thor<\/em>. Now, the former Mjolnir wielder will get a brand-new limited series written and drawn by superstar creator Daniel Warren Johnson (Wonder-Woman: Dead Earth, Murder Falcon, Extremity<\/em>)! BETA RAY BILL will begin a new saga for the worthy alien hero, spinning directly out of the events of\u00a0Thor<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0King in Black<\/em>.<\/p>\n

“I have known Dan for almost a decade now,\u201d Cates said. \u201cWe both got our start together a long time ago on a crazy little book called\u00a0Ghost Fleet<\/em>, and I knew all those years ago that I was absolutely “marrying up” in regards to an artistic partner on a book. Dan is brilliant. Pure and simple. He’s just built differently. He’s not the same species as the rest of us mere mortals. And if you went back in time and told me that Dan and I were both now playing in the world of Thor like this, the only thing that would surprise me is that they let me in to play as well. This Beta Ray Bill book that Dan has built is special.\u00a0 And beautiful and heartfelt and chainsaw-razorblade-guitar-riff-to-your-bones metal. It is, in fact, what I always knew Dan would be doing. I couldn’t be more proud, and more excited, for him to unleash this book on you. You aren’t ready.”<\/p>\n

Beta Ray Bill is tired of playing second fiddle to Thor \u2013 and with Beta Ray\u2019s famous hammer, Stormbreaker, recently destroyed at the new All-Father\u2019s hands, tensions are higher than ever. The mighty Korbinite must strike out in search of a new weapon\u2026and a new destiny. Assuming he can first defeat a Knullified Fin Fang Foom! Joined by colorist Mike Spicer, Daniel Warren Johnson will take Beta Ray Bill on a journey beyond the shadow of a god!<\/p>\n

\u201cBeta Ray Bill is literally my favorite Marvel character, so it\u2019s a dream come true, and there are images in this book I\u2019ve been wanting to illustrate for years. It\u2019s even more exciting that I get to write this series in the context of the current Thor universe,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cThere\u2019s a lot to unpack with Beta Ray and I can\u2019t wait to share my story with you all.\u201d<\/p>\n

The special oversized debut issue also contains an exclusive conversation between Johnson and Beta Ray Bill\u2019s creator, the legendary Walter Simonson! Don\u2019t miss this exciting new era for one of comic book\u2019s most beloved warriors when BETA RAY BILL #1 hits stands this March! For more information, visit\u00a0Marvel.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n
