Peter Milligan
July 15, 2013, Mt. Laurel, NJ: Dynamite enjoyment is pleased to announce that Peter Milligan (Shade the changing Man, X-Statix, Hellblazer) has signed a deal to create a new series entitled terminal Hero. Milligan’s partnership with Dynamite is unprecedented as this marks his first work outside of marvel Comics and DC Comics considering that the days of his earlier projects, Paradax and Johnny Nemo.
“I’ve enjoyed with interest how Dynamite has expanded both physically and creatively over the years,” says Milligan. “During that time, Nick Barrucci and I have discussed working on a project on and off, but due to a number of reasons, things never quite worked out. Now I have a project which demands a certain kind of publisher — one who’ll give me a lot a creative latitude and is ready to go to some dark, edgy, and sincere places. terminal Hero is about one poor bastard’s rollercoaster ride through a world that he’s trying to make sense of. It’s about how far you’d go to stay alive. Okay, it occasionally plays with the classic comic book ‘hero’ genre, but I goal to push it to places that normal comic books don’t go. Luckily, Dynamite isn’t terrified to go there!”

“Peter Milligan is a storytelling wild card — you can never, ever anticipate where his story will flow,” says Nick Barrucci, CEO and publisher of Dynamite. “He’s also one of the most well-respected writers in comics, and deservedly so. I actually approached Peter about working together in London a bit before Dynamite launched and he was intrigued, but we hadn’t put everything together yet, and before we could take it to the next level, he signed his exclusive with Marvel. He later signed exclusively with DC. over the years we’ve kept in touch, and worked to find a series which he would take pleasure in that would take the world by storm. We’re so ecstatic to welcome him to aboard as the current in a very excellent body of high-profile creators.”
“I had thought that after working with creators like Alex Ross, Matt Wagner, and Garth Ennis — to name a few — that maybe I had peaked, that I could be ecstatic no a lot more to work with a designer whose work was formative to my understanding and appreciation of comics. and then comes Peter Milligan,” adds Joe Rybandt, senior Editor of Dynamite. “From his work on shade and Hellblazer and X-Force/Statix and everything in-between and beyond, Peter is a visionary and true talent. To collaborate with him and be part of his first project with us here at Dynamite just shows there’s always another surprise around the occupation corner.”
