Brace yourselves, comics fans! The strange world of El Gorgo! is about to get a bit stranger!

In a stunning move, series creators Mike McGee and Tamas Jakab announced today the sale of El Gorgo! and associated properties to Eisner Award-winning creators, Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely.

The duo recently worked on the popular BATMAN & ROBIN series for DC comics and have collaborated in the past on ALL STAR SUPERMAN, WE3, NEW X-MEN, THE INVISIBLES, JLA and FLEX MENTALLO.

The new team will take over with issue #5, due sometime after #4 ships, whenever that will be.

“The sale came together pretty quickly…” said outgoing El Gorgo! writer Mike McGee,
“Grant contacted us via post-supercontext 3D holographic telepathy from the future and said ‘SELL ME YOUR MONKEY AND I WILL CONQUER THE FIFTH DIMENSION!’ Who could refuse an offer like that?”

“I’m really excited about this new project.” Said new writer Morrison. ” Frank and I are gonna deliver the truly cutting-edge stories that 21st century audiences demand. Every issue will be 1000 pages of story compressed down to 24 pages like a holographic diamond of MTV-style YouTube web comics adventure. And it’s got a wrestling gorilla in it. Who doesn’t love that?”

“We’re only on the hook for like 2 issues a year. F***! I can keep up with that!” Said new artist Frank Quitely.

Outgoing artist Tamas Jakab added, “We’ve had to add 8 pages to issue #4 to assist in the transition, so that’s going to take me another 6 months. But we got paid!!!”

Issue #4 inker Rusty Shackles could not be reached for comment.

Happy April Fools Day!

If you listened to yesterday’s episode of War Rocket Ajax, you heard the stunning announcement that Rusty Shackles has joined our team to take on inking duties on El Gorgo! issue #4! We are extremely excited to be working with him!

Rusty has previously done work for Action Age Comics! and War Rocket Ajax! Most recently he’s drawn a backup story, written by Chris Sims, for the Oni Press comic Resurrection, which hits stores this month! He’s also got some other top-secret projects going on, but has taken some time from his busy schedule to help us deliver the most awesome issue of El Gorgo! yet!!!!

Please join us in welcoming Rusty on board! Onward to issue #4!

At last! The epic battle between War Rocket Ajax and Team El Gorgo! is now online! Go grab it from the site or download it from iTunes, and please take a moment to leave them a review.
