Magdalene Visaggio is writing the official tie-in comedian guide to Rebel Moon with Zack Snyder, and he or she has a couple of issues to say to her critics.

Magdalene Visaggio is an outspoken trans comedian guide creator, with work from Marvel and DC, licensed comics like Rick And Morty and quite a few authentic comedian guide collection, considered one of which was become a Syfy TV collection. As a end result, she attracts numerous hatred on-line. It appears to be the best way nowadays. And now that she is writing the official tie-in comedian guide to Rebel Moon with Zack Snyder, that appears to be ramping up considerably. She posts to social media;

“Dear haters:

ZS interviewed and chosen me personally for the Rebel Moon gig amongst a slew of different writers.

ZS reviewed, famous, and authorized each single subject. He took quite a lot of private curiosity.

His notes had been often like “I wanna see X foreshadowed here”

ZS gave me an extremely free hand in crafting the story; he handed me three foremost characters and a state of affairs. Most of the remainder is all me.

We’re each big world constructing nerds so we vibed actually exhausting speaking about convoluted Ancient Rome and the Ancient Near East politics

I’ve by no means, not as soon as, felt extra trusted by an editorial staff. The people at Titan and TSQ particularly actually let me stretch my legs and take some artistic dangers (no less than for me, contemplating how a lot of my work is about teenage lady antics) to craft one thing actually epic.

“One of the most frustrating things I found about working at both DC *and* Marvel is how hemmed in I felt; I always want to break my toys and reassemble them, which is hard to pull of with super established IP. It’s a big reason I never got traction there. I was that kid who bought action figures, decided they were different characters, and used everything from tin foil to k’nex to torn up old t-shirts to redesign and reinvent them. That’s how my 8” Geordi LaForge motion determine turned REVOLUTION MAN, and the way Picard bought an exosuit. If they COULD be disassembled they WOULD be disassembled, swapping costume items, energy units. I discovered unusual new methods to configure my Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad machines to make new creations. And Zack? Zack let me run wild, and I did my greatest to respect that belief and ensure I used to be coloring no less than within the SPIRIT of the traces.

“My dream has at all times been to be given some D-list superhero to fully revamp and reconceptualize, Animal Man and Sandman type, to search out what works and what doesnt and attempt to break it aside and rebuild it. And as a result of that is new IP, I did not have to interrupt something. I BUILT.
I constructed a language and a society and historical past and a household legacy that would tear these characters aside. I set them on collision programs with one another after which allow them to fly. It was an honor and a pleasure, and Im extremely grateful to @ZackSnyder for his belief and enthusiasm.

“I needed to write HOUSE OF THE BLOODAXE earlier than ever seeing the film — as a result of they wished to get going on it EARLY to accommodate Zack’s schedule — and I feel that was a great factor, as a result of it did not hem me in. Zack was there to maintain issues on observe. I’ve one scene the place initially Djimon Honsou’s character Titus was appearing out of character as a result of I didnt actually know a lot about him but, however Zack wished to see him at this second within the story. So I wrote it and Zack gently corrected.

“It’s a hell of a way to work, with firm editorial support and enthusiasm, and something I have rarely been given. It’s so exciting to be in on the ground floor of something like REBEL MOON and to get the first real stab at fleshing out the larger world. I’m trying to lay down guidelines for the future at the same time I’m trying to tell a great story with stupendous visuals. It was an incredibly positive experience and I’m looking forward to many years of playing in this world I’ve gotten to help create a little. and I cant wait for someone to break and reassemble my toys. “Let the previous die. Kill it if you need to.”

Rebel Moon: House Of The Bloodaxe is an official prequel to the upcoming two-parter Rebel Moon movie collection from Zack Snyder for Netflix. Written by Magdalene Visaggio and drawn by Clark Bint, the comedian guide collection shall be revealed by Titan Comics in January 2024 with covers from Stanley ‘Artgerm’ Lau and Rafael Albuquerque.

In April, Magdalene Visaggio tweeted, “I’m working this week to wrap up a very involved, incredibly worldbuildy (I invented a language) sci-fi comic script with one of the biggest directors in the world AND writing a TV pilot”. I assume this is able to be it… she now provides “I wanna say I have LOVED working with Zack. He’s always so excited by every idea. He gave me a pretty free hand on HOUSE OF THE BLOODAXE and as I fell in love with the world he created, he fell in love with Shasu, the world *I* created.” And advised us “The planet Shasu, homeworld of Devra and Darrian Bloodaxe, was long the unconquerable world. It’s history goes back almost 10,000 years to when the first wave of settlers took root on the unspoiled scrub world.”

Zack Snyder tweeted, “Excited to announce that the @RebelMoon universe is expanding beyond the screen with a prequel comic series. Issue 1 of REBEL MOON: HOUSE OF THE BLOODAXE will be published by @TitanComics on January 10, 2024, and available wherever comics are sold.”

“Set 5 years before the events depicted in Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire, the comic HOUSE OF THE BLOODAXE provides backstory for the characters of Devra and Darrian Bloodaxe, leaders of a band of outlaw revolutionaries (played by Cleopatra Coleman and Ray Fisher), and their formidable family’s history. As war is looming on the horizon on the planet Shasu, the leader of the Bloodaxe family is conflicted between living up to his father’s domineering legacy and maintaining the peace. It is up to him to settle the conflicts within himself, and his family, before the entire planet erupts in war.”

“Rebel Moon: House Of The Bloodaxe is important studying for anybody who needs to know extra concerning the wealthy and expansive lore of the Rebel Moon universe. With an authentic story from Zack Snyder himself, the comedian carries the identical ranges of drama, motion, and excessive emotional stakes that the director is understood for.

“”I’m excited to collaborate with Mags to discover the wealthy and sophisticated backstory of the Bloodaxe siblings,” said Zack Snyder. “In Rebel Moon: House Of The Bloodaxe, followers will get to find their motivation, in addition to the genesis of the revolt.”

“Mags Visaggio describes the comic as a ‘Shakespearean tragedy…It’s all extremely personal, a family in conflict with its patriarch who is in conflict with himself at a moment when they need to be united. It’s a story about failure and the consequences of failure.””
