Fan favo🐠rite writer/artist Daniel Warren Johnson and his longtime colorist Mike Spice♚r will lend their talents to a new adventure for likewise fan-favorite spacehorse ero with a new on March 31 – and we have a fresh look at some interior pages from that inaugural issue of the five-issue limited series right here.

Beta Ray Bill #1 spins out of the current Venom-centric crossover, with Bi💞ll squaring off against a Knull-c𝔉ontrolled Fin Fang Foom as he quests for a new weapon along the way.

See, Bill's usual ham🍌mer, mighty Stormbreaker (which lends its name to Marvel's current roster of rising artists), was destroyed in a duel with Bill's ally and kinda sometimes contentious friend Thor – though the two have since patched things up.

In the pages in the gallery below, Sif sum🔴mons Bill to rally the warriors of Asgard to fight the forces of Knull, and Bill delivers.

Check out the pages:

"FROM THE PAGES OF DONNY CATES' THOR AND SPINNING OUT OF THE EVENTS OF KING IN BLACK!" heral🌱ds Marvel's official synopsis for Beta Ray Bill #1.

"The💦 second-most famous wielder of Mjolnir. The right-hand man to the god of Thunder. And now, a warrior without his best weapon. Beta Ray Bill is tired of playing second fiddle to Thor - and with Bill's famous hammer, Stormbꦜreaker, recently destroyed at the new All-Father's hands, tensions are higher than ever," it continues. "The Korbinite must strike out in search of a new weapon...and a new destiny. Assuming he can first defeat a Knullified Fin Fang Foom!"

"Writer/artist Daniel Warren Johnson (, ) and colorist Mike Spicer take Beta Ray Bill ⛎on a journey beyond the shadow of a god!" concludes the synopsis. "Plus: This oversizeꦦ first issue contains an exclusive conversation between Johnson and Beta Ray Bill's creator, the legendary Walter Simonson!"

There you have it – if the current🐻 reigning fan-favorite writer/artist of mainstream comic books doesn't draw you in, the presence of Johnson's predecessor (and Bill's noted creator) Walter Simonson ought to seal the deal. If you haven't enjoyed the work of Johnson or Simonson yet, it's always a good time to get struck by the electric power of their stories.

You'll get a bit of both in Beta Ray B𒊎ill #1 on March 31.

Beta Ray Bill and his creator Walt Simonson are both part of some of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best Thor stories of all time.
