I’m REALLY looking forward to Astonishing X-Men #31. This fall, Phil Jimenez fans (LIKE ME!) are in for a treat! He is following up his stint on Amazing Spiderman with a 5 issue run on Warren Ellis’ Astonishing X-Men this fall! Out and proud comic art genius Phil Jimenez has long been one of my absolute favorites. He’s on a very short list with the likes of George Perez, Alex Ross, Bryan Hitch and Alan Davis. So having him as artist for Astonishing with Warren Ellis writing should be quite a ride.
“The X-Men was the first mainstream super-hero comic book I ever collected,” remembers Jimenez. “Its lead characters—Storm, Wolverine, even the Beast and Emma Frost—have been near and dear to my heart since I was a kid. I love these characters, I ‘get’ them, and I find drawing them is a huge pleasure and a real luxury for which I’m incredibly grateful.”
Abigail Brand, director of S.W.O.R.D., has been in some sticky situations, and she isn’t the type who asks for help to get out of them. But when you’re careening towards Earth in the cockpit of a damaged spaceship after being attacked on an exploding asteroid 7.5 million miles from Earth…it’s time to call the X-Men. They might not have much of a plan, or much of a chance, but that’s certainly never stopped them before. Superstar artist Phil Jimenez joins writer Warren Ellis for the second arc of the mind-bending ongoing series!
Out and proud (since 1992) artist Phil Jimenez is by far my favorite of the next generation comic book talents.
Jimenez dedicated his work on the (1996) limited series Tempest to deceased DC editor Neal Pozner, who had been the first editor to hire Jimenez. The two subsequently had a relationship that ended when Pozner died of complications from AIDS in 1994.
He also worked as a “hand double” for Tobey Maguire in the film Spider-Man, in the scenes depicting the young Peter Parker designing his costumed identity.
His amazing work on the Team Titans, Tempest, Wonder Woman: Donna Troy, JLA/Titans: The Technis imperative, Planetary/Authority: Ruling the World (also written by Warren Ellis), Titans/Legion of Super-Heroes: Universe Ablaze, New X-Men, Otherworld (which he also wrote), DC Special The Return of Donna Troy, Infinite Crisis and Amazing Spiderman.
