DC Comics has signed two of the hottest artists in comics to 3-year exclusive
agreements: Adam Kubert (Ultimate Fantastic Four, Ultimate X-Men) and Andy Kubert (1602, Origin, Ultimate Iron Man, Ultimate X-Men).
"I am so thrilled and excited to be a part of DC Comics," says Andy. "
After making my home at Marvel for the last 15 years -a place that I love and
will continue to do so -I get to stretch my wings a bit and tackle the DC
icons! I can't wait! As a comics artist, I can't tell you how fortunate
I feel right now to have the career that I have had, in a medium that I love so
much. I am very, very lucky."
"This is a big move for Andy and myself...huge ...and it's hard to
put into words the excitement I'm feeling," says Adam. "I could say
how accommodating and professional DC Comics has been in all our dealings, in
particular Dan DiDio and Terri Cunningham (VP Managing Editor). I could say
that I'm finally going to get to draw all those iconic characters I grew up
with. I could say that I sincerely feel my best work is yet to come. It's
difficult to put this all into a compact soundbite. So, let me steal a quote from
my mom instead:' What more could a mother want?'"
"Without a doubt this is one of the highlights of my time here at DC," says
Dan DiDio, VP -Executive Editor, DCU. "Never has any signing felt so
right. Both of these men belong here, and the entire company is excited that they will be working on our greatest characters. "
