Dean Haspiel, Mark Waid, J.M. DeMatteis, Paul Pope, & More Come Together For THE FOX #2

Archie Comics has been doing some interesting things these days, most notably with their Red Circle line that has revived some of the old Golden Age superheroes.

Their newest series from that line is The Fox and it features the adventures of the titular hero as well as The Shield. And they’ve got some big name talent working on it, as you can see from the solicitation info for the second issue:

NEW RED CIRCLE SERIES!

From the world of the New Crusaders, comes the high-flying FOX! Emmy Award winning writer/artist Dean Haspiel (Billy Dogma, HBO’s Bored to Death) and Eisner Award winning writer Mark Waid (Daredevil, Thrillbent) continue the saga of the legendary, pulp-style hero The Fox in FREAK MAGNET Part Two: “Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend”! When the beautiful Queen of Diamonds enlists our hero to save the diamond realm from the deadly Druid, the FOX faces a whole new dimension’s worth of pitfalls, peril and—familiar faces?!

Then, acclaimed writer J.M. DeMatteis (Abadazad, Justice League 3000) and Eisner-award nominated artist Mike Cavallaro (Parade, The Life and Times of Savior 28) take us back in time for an ALL-NEW story featuring the world’s first patriotic super hero and leader of the New Crusaders: THE SHIELD! What connection does Shield’s top-secret mission in the arctic have to do with the Fox’s diamond-studded adventure? And what ultra-powerful villains have arrived to wreak havoc??
