Today, Marvel Comics announced plans for a new solo Luke Cage ongoing comic book series from David Walker, who's currently writing the well-received Power Man & Iron Fist series. He'll be joined by Nelson Blake II, who'll handle art duties.
In a new
interview with CBR, Walker announced that his run on Power Man & Iron Fist is coming to a close in May but he'll still be writing at least one-half of the duo in the new Cage solo book. On the new series, Walker stated, "
With this book I’m trying to build off the shoulders of everything that has come before. Just as he was in the “Power Man & Iron Fist” run, he’s a bit wiser. He’s still very street-smart, but he’s also a father, a husband, and he’s been through a lot more. I’m writing him in a much more contemplative way. He’s the sort of person who’d like to figure out how to get out of a bad spot without having to resort to just throwing punches. It always seems like he has to throw punches, though, before he can figure out how to get out of a bad situation."
The new series will see Power Man heading off to New Orleans to investigate the death of a man who was like a second-father to Luke, the same man who gave him his powers.
