CAGE! #1 (of 4)
GENNDY TARTAKOVSKY (W/A/C)
From the Award-Winning creator of Dexter’s Laboratory, Samurai Jack and Hotel Transylvania! On the mean streets of Harlem, shoes are big, shirts are large, bottoms are belled and crime is rampant! But in the heart of the city, the world’s hardest-working, smack-talking, chain-wearing super hero is on the street and on the case! And his rates are reasonable! He’s CAGE! and he’ll save your behind. Dig it!
>Devin Faraci: Why Luke Cage? What is it about this character that attracted you?
>Gennedy Tartakovsky: Well I grew up following most of the major titles like Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, Avengers, etc. But I had also a lot of love for the smaller titles like Master of Kung Fu, Black Panther, The Defenders, Inhumans, and of course Power-Man and Iron Fist. I always liked the martial art aspect of Iron Fist with the raw street energy of Cage. I saw it in my head like Bruce Lee and Shaft hanging out together. And Cage was fun, I liked the idea of a down and out hero scrapping for work, love, and just trying to survive.
>Devin Faraci: You started working on this a decade ago. Is this series you picking up where you left off or did you start from scratch?
>Gennedy Tartakovsky: Listen it was only 8 years ago, not a decade! I’m picking up right where I left off but definitely improving it and refining it.
>Devin Faraci: Who initiated this return to Cage!? Was it you or did Marvel reach out? How did it happen?
>Gennedy Tartakovsky: Well I was doing press for Hotel Transylvania 2 and coincidently I found my thumbnails around the same time and thought that they still held up. Then on the press tour I kept getting questions about it so I thought for fun I would say “I’m willing to finish it if Marvel is still interested.” Sure enough it spread through the internet and the editor from Marvel contacted me.
>Devin Faraci: This book is set in the 70s. Will we see 70s versions of other Marvel favorites?
>Gennedy Tartakovsky: I don’t want to give anything away but YES!!
>Devin Faraci: Luke Cage is having a new moment in the sun because of Netflix. Will this series be aimed towards new readers or is it full of references aimed at people with Power Man and Iron Fist in their long boxes?
>Gennedy Tartakovsky: Well growing with those comics in the 70’s and 80’s I have a very strong fondness of that version of Power Man so my version is very rooted in that time, but I think it is totally fun and feels new. It was about making something entertaining with a character that I really liked. So I think it can appeal to young and old readers.
>Devin Faraci: How does comic storytelling differ from animation? With animation we see all the moments, while with comics so much of what happens occurs between the panels. Is that the big difference?
>Gennedy Tartakovsky: Well the biggest difference is that I can’t rely on sound as much as I do in animation. That’s a big one because I use sound to help enhance the mood, action, comedy, pretty much everything. So that’s a big element missing. And of course there is no movement so I try to create it with kinetic panels and layouts as well as fun energetic drawings. It’s unlike other comics I think because my influences are strongly based from animation and cartooning like Kurtzman, Jack Davis, Chuck Jones, and Tex Avery. So it’s quite different from comics today… I think.

This is hype if true.

>Blaxploitation Luke Cage by Genndy
Is this the real life
Is this just fantasy
Caught in a landslide
No escape from reality
Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and see
I'm just a poor boy
I need no sympathy
(Because I'm)
Easy come
Easy go
Little high
Little low
Any way the wind blows
Doesn't really matter to me
Mama
Just killed a man
Put a gun against his head
Pulled the trigger, now he's dead
Mama
Life had just begun
But now I've gone and thrown it all away
MAMA OOOOOOO
>Samurai Jack (2016) looking promising
>Cage is finally getting released
There is only so much Genndy hype I can take!!
>>84351614
Something horrible is going to happen to Genndy wont it ? theres too much good happening
Guys, I... I think I want to buy a Marvel book.
Next best thing will be for Mcduffie's dumb widow to post the man's pitch for a Luke Cage series
>>84351614
It's finally happening! Holy shit, actual hype!
Holy shit, is this real?
strange but i love seeing BMD expand into comics

>>84351985
Just wondering if it's set in the new Earth-616 if continuity is thrown into the question.
>>84352012
It's either non-canon or set in the past, since Benis made Luke hate being himself long ago.
>>84352012
Considering this takes place in the 70s, it's clearly non-canon.

THE RIDE DOESN'T STOP, MY FRIENDS. IT WON'T.
Now all we need is a "Justice Friends" style book by Gendy and my life can officially be complete
Its the action hank comic we always wanted
>>84352922
When are we getting that Loeb/Campbell Spidey?
Is...this real life? A Marvel comic I'm finally interested in? Of course it's something that was convinced years ago and not by current marvel...
>>84351633
That's fucking gold. I can dig it, babe.
>>84353078

BASED GENNDY
>>84353809
Doesn't fit into Marvel's progressive narrative.
>>84351614
Marvel what are you doing? Don't do something cool now, it ruins my memes.
>>84353809
It's only been a year since the announcement, Parlov was drawing some books in between then so he has to still draw it or finish I assume, this isn't like Battling Boy which took 5 years to come out.

Oh my fucking god, I can't believe I'm actually going to buy a fucking Marvel book.
>>84351614
After all the bullshit police brutality it's nice to see some good things can happen for black people.
>>84354574
Yeah, after last night a Luke Cage comic by the dude that made Dexter's Lab is really gonna fix the black community.
>>84352786
I actually think it would've been the second season of SBT, but what're the chances we're getting THAT anymore?
I honestly thought this was long dead. Glad it's not.
>>84354511
I'm hype.
Cool
So is Genndy just trying to do everything in his bucket list before his next project now? Because if so I certainly don't mind.
>mfw the Mary Sue is gonna call Genndy racist and out of touch for making this comic
(((Tartakovsky)))
>>84359617
Nope
>>84359505
They didn't mind Bendis writing his garbage.
>>84359505
His last name sounds too ethnic. They wouldn't dare touch him.
>>84359617
Why would you remind me?
>>84359751
see >>84359617
Tartakovsky is a Jew whose family escaped the anti-semitic USSR
Jews trump feminists every time
>>>>>>>>>>>>>marvel
>>84359388
I wonder what other projects he has half-finished that he might unearth.
I remember when this was announced oh-so long ago, glad it's finally seeing the light of day.
>>84351614
is this gonna just be action hank the comic?
>>84359886
and?
he makes entertaining shows
I couldnt care less
>>84351633
"Agction Henk! Wot hoppend tu yuir beard?!!?"
>>84367694
kek
>>84351614
>improving it and refining it.
Read marvel made me make it more PC
Still I'm hype
>>84367694
It's not the beard on the outside that counts, it's the beard on the inside.
>>84354107
Don't worry thing with memes is they tend to smother smaller memes
Unless they ditch all the horrible stuff this won't overtake it.
>>84354574
Wait whats happening is this another of those dident do nothing things or was there some auctual brutality
>>84369464
Guy got wrestled to the ground and shot in the back. Another got shot in the face because he told an officer he had a Concealed Carry license while reaching for his wallet.
Then during the BLM protest these incidents inspired, a guy started sniping cops, until they suicide bombed him with a robot.
The entire situation is fucked.
>>84359617
the fuck let you in here, /pol/tard?
>>84369534
Well that first one is pretty daming cop fucked up and that second one sounds far to trigger happy
Still I wonder why people always assume this stuff is racially driven.
>>84369570
Well I suppose trigger happy is the wrong word he shot without full information.
But yeah if you have your weapon pointed at somebody you can safely wait until you see him grab a gun to take the shot
>>84351614
I bet 5 bucks that these guys at least make a cameo in comic.
>>84351614
>gets a Netflix show
>they only fork out for a mini
Well still better than Jess I guess.
>>84359617
Hey, here's an idea - why don't you fuck off back to your containment board?
In b4 HURR CROSS-BOARD POSTING Y U HAET FREEDOM OF SPEECH
I don't hate freedom of speech, I just hate stupid cunts with nothing to contribute to a discussion other than their tired, shitty memes.
>>84351614
Bump for glorioso Genndy.
>>84351614
That blurb is perfect, this is exciting. I wish Marvel would do a Bizarro Comics anthology equivalent with lots of retro-stylized fun strips by modern artists like this.
>>84370529
not him but you sound triggered as fuck. The entire Internet isn't your personal safe space faggot.
>>84372161
They did.
It was called Strange Tales. It was 3 issues.
Then they did Stange Tales II which was also 3 issues.
>>84372588
I'm just addressing the usual argument when /pol/ is told to fuck off back to its containment board. if I went on /pol/ with actual facts, they'd all be triggered as shit.
>>84351633
Holy fuck that's some great cartooning! Makes me wish other lifelong cartoonists would dip their toes in comic books.
>>84373729
Lifelong animators, I mean.
Damnit Marvel, I'm sold.
>>84372641
those were mostly comedic takes though.
not sure what that other anon was referring to, but like this CAGE book is being presented as Genndy doing Black Dynomite with Cage. Not straight up comedy, but definitely going back to his blaxploitation roots with a little goofiness around it.
>>84375088
And /co/ is probably the wrong board to decry Jews on, given how Jewey Comics and TV/Movies are.
>>84375088
And you're a cunt, so fucking what?

>>84378885
Think it's an ongoing.

Yes

No that's retarded
>>84351633
I have never wanted a comic after seeing one page as much as I want this.
>>84379625
People who come from (or sound like they come from) Stormfront, a popular neo-nazi site.
Now I'm reading old Luke Cage
This stuff is pretty solid, I gotta say.

you should read heroes for hire too, luke and iron fist are best bros
