Any new comics company faces great pressure and expectation that comes with trying to make a dent in a business dominated by two major players. But when the title of the company is Frank Miller Presents, well, the expectations are just a tad bit higher.
The new venture bears the name of one of comics’ most celebrated storytellers. Miller is renowned for revitalizing Daredevil and Batman in the 1980's, as well as for indie comics classics like 300 and Give Me Liberty (with artist Dave Gibbons). Together with former DC Comics co-publisher Dan DiDio, who has now signed on as the publisher of FMP, Miller aims to launch a company that empowers and inspires artists and writers to push the medium to new limits.
“The goal here is to create a vehicle for the readers, run by the talent, that will explore the potentialities of our beloved story and art form,” Miller tells IGN.
The company will launch new properties while also returning to two of Miller’s most revered creations, Ronin and Sin City. On November 23, the first issue of Ronin: Book Two will arrive in comic book shops. Each issue of the bimonthly series will be released in prestige format, at 48 pages and carrying a $7.99 cover price. Fans have been waiting for years for Miller to revisit his samurai tale. This new series will serve as a continuation of the story Miller introduced in 1983, when Ronin was published by DC Comics. Miller is scripting the series and providing pencil layouts, with Philip Tan handling the finished pencil work and Daniel Henriques doing the inking.
For the first new Sin City stories in more than twenty years, Miller is writing a special one-shot illustrated by legendary Italian artist Milo Manara. That book is called Sin City in Color, because it will detour from the noir series’ usual black-and-white format for a full-color printing.
Miller is also writing and illustrating a western prequel series, called Sin City: 1858. According to DiDio, introducing the Wild West into his noir universe has been on Miller’s to-do list for years.
“Frank's intimately involved in everything going on. The reason why we're doing Ronin is because it’s never been exploited before,” DiDio says during a phone interview. “We feel that there's a lot of areas that Frank has story for. And actually, he's had this story in mind for Ronin: Book Two since the end of the original series 40 years ago. So this is exciting for him to be able to tell that story because he still carries it with him and he's finally getting it out.”
Joining the new Ronin series on shelves in November will be the company’s first brand new title, Ancient Enemies. The series, also a bi-monthly $7.99 book, is created and designed by DiDio and artist Danilo Beyruth. It centers on an ancient war between alien civilizations that have made their way to Earth. The final conflict ends up being the spark for the birth of new super-powered beings.
“Even though it's a big high concept, what we're really focused on is the individual characters that rise from the stories themselves,” DiDio says. “And that's the fun part of it because what we were able to do is a contemporary take on the rise and the advent of superheroes and the superhero world with a much more contemporary tone and understanding of the events of today and how they might play out in the course of these stories.”
Considering that nearly all aspects of popular culture seem to be embracing the concept of shared universes, is Ancient Enemies meant to be the launchpad for an FMP-verse? “There might be [something] in there that might have a tie to another series,” DiDio says. “I don't want to give too much away, but there are little Easter eggs in the basis of Ancient Enemies that if you follow them, might take you to other series.”
That other series could be another of FMP’s brand-new creations, Pandora, whose release date is still undetermined. Miller devised the idea for the science-fiction/fantasy hybrid. “Star Trek: Discovery” writers Anthony Maranville and Chris Silvestri will script that series, with Emma Kubert, daughter of comics superstar (and The Dark Knight III: The Master Race artist) Andy Kubert, being the latest member of her esteemed family to handle the artwork on a Frank Miller project.
DiDio stresses he’s less concerned with building a universe than with just creating a comic that hooks new readers. “The way the story's being told is pretty similar to the way Darwyn Cooke told New Frontier where you're telling this long arching story and the characters that are introduced [in that story] are the ones that take us through the story.”
At this point in the conversation, DiDio notes the advantage his new gig has over his old one. “When you look at DC and Marvel, I mean you have characters that are 70, 80 years old, and you're trying to contemporize them and tell modern-day stories with them, even though their origins come from a different time period. With [Frank Miller Presents] we’re creating characters for today in a story that relates to people and situations that are current.”
When he was at DC Comics, DiDio oversaw Miller’s The Dark Knight III: The Master Race series with Brian Azzarello, Andy Kubert and Klaus Janson and The Dark Knight Returns: The Golden Child with Rafael Grampa. Now that the roles are reversed and DiDio the writer has Miller the EiC looking over his shoulder, is it a bit weird?
“You know what, it's very easy to agree with him,” DiDio says while laughing. “He loves to talk character and story, and honestly, we just sit for hours talking character and story and ideas, because it comes so easily to him.
