USA TODAY talks to Brian Azzarello About SPACEMAN

Fri, 10/28/2011 - 4:40pm | DCE Editorial

“This is going to sound really weird, but there's a certain innocence to him that I haven't done in a character in a really long time,” Azzarello revealed about SPACEMAN protagonist Orson to USA TODAY. “Definitely in 100 Bullets, a lot of the characters were street smart. He's not. He's a bit naïve about things — not stupid but not as worldly."

SPACEMAN #1 is available now.

SPACEMAN #1 launches today!

Wed, 10/26/2011 - 9:32am | DCE Editorial

SPACEMAN, the highly anticipated new mini-series from the team that brought you 100 BULLETS, lands in stores today!

Orson was created for a space program to Mars that never happened. Now, the hulking loner is making his way in a decrepit world dreaming of the life he was promised, only to accidentally get involved in a celebrity kidnapping scandal.

“The lead character is a genetically engineered man; he was genetically engineered by NASA to get to Mars, to travel that long space journey,” series writer Brian Azzarello explained to IGN. “Because right now, our bodies physically can't withstand the long space travel to get to Mars. We lose too much bone density, so by the time we got there we would have like a chicken bone. So this character has been engineered with thick skin and big bones; he's got the mass to make the journey. But, in this world, NASA doesn't exist anymore, so he's stuck on Earth.”

Welcome to science hell.
