J. Michael Straczynski has a lot to answer for. The Babylon 5 creator, who shepherded The Amazing Spider-Man through some of his best issues (not to mention Thor) and is currently putting Captain America through his paces until #18 when he steps off the title, has decided his next move will be the return of Marvel Team-Up.
Well, kind of.
He’s bringing some disparate characters together in 2025 for a series of one-shots featuring some left-field team-ups. Captain America and Volstagg, Aunt May and Agatha Harkness, Nick Fury and Fin Fang Foom, and more.
But before that, as I’m sure you all know by now, he’s teaming up with artist Will Robson and they’re putting together… Rocket Racoon and Doctor Doom?! From Marvel’s solicit:
"JMS UNITES UNLIKELY DUOS FROM ALL ACROSS THE MARVEL UNIVERSE! J. Michael Straczynski brings his incredible character work to beloved Marvel characters great and small in a series of exciting one-shots! First up: Doctor Doom and Rocket, drawn by the inimitable Will Robson! Doctor Doom does the one thing he never wants to do: ask for a favour! What awaits Rocket in Latveria? Mischief, miscommunication and an emotional journey across space and time in the Mighty Marvel Way!"
We’ve got some great, unlettered pages of Will Robson’s coloured art pages ahead of the book’s release on 22nd January 2025.
