I also love writing big, fun sci-fi things. In a world with a billion superhero properties and gloomy, rain-soaked dystopian sci-fi, there&#8217;s a gap in the market for sci-fi that&#8217;s upbeat and fun and I wanted to combine all this into a big, high-octane story. I&#8217;ve been working on this as a property for Netflix since last Summer and now I&#8217;m being joined by the brilliant Matteo Scalera for the comic-book translation of this story. The guy&#8217;s a genius and I&#8217;ve followed him for years. Having him draw this is like someone you&#8217;ve always had a crush on going out on a date with you. He&#8217;s just amazing.&#8221;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If that isn\u2019t enough for you, SPACE BANDITS features alternate covers by some of Millar\u2019s all-time favorite artists. &nbsp;The first announced limited edition will be by the legendary Howard Chaykin (AMERICAN FLAGG!) and will only cost 75 cents (all other covers will retail at $3.99).<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SPACE BANDITS #1 arrives in stores on Wednesday, July 3. &nbsp;Ask your favorite comic shop to add it to your bin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brad Mendenhall is the Host\/Co-Founder of the Cosmic Geppetto Podcast, a pop culture show where geeky people talk lovingly about geeky stuff.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\nAnd don&#8217;t forget to check out the latest episode of Super Hero Speak here: <a href=\"https:\/\/superherospeak.com\/wp\/302-rise-of-the-great-philly-comic-con\/\">https:\/\/superherospeak.com\/wp\/302-rise-of-the-great-philly-comic-con\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Netflix announced the upcoming comic book SPACE BANDITS by superstar creator Mark Millar (THE AUTHORITY, OLD MAN LOGAN) and artist Matteo Scalera (DEAD BODY ROAD).
