In 2020, Paul Scheer used the Disney+ present Marvel 616 to make a comedian e-book pitch to Marvel, Now we’re getting that comedian drawn by Geoffo.

Brute Force was a comedian through which a multinational company known as, imaginatively, Multicorp, cybernetically engineer animals as troopers just for them to insurgent and tackle an environmentally-themed mission. Created by Simon Furman and Jose Delbo in 1990, it was based mostly on a idea for a cartoon and toyline that by no means took off.

In 2020, Paul Scheer used the Disney+ present Marvel 616 to make a comedian e-book/animation/toy line pitch to Marvel for the collection. Now we’re getting that comedian as a Marvel Unlimited comedian e-book, written by Scheer and Nick Giovannetti and drawn by Geoffo and Dee Cunniffe.

Given powers and intelligence far past these possessed by different members of their species, 5 animals—a lion, an eagle, a kangaroo, a bear, a dolphin—have been cast into a super-team by a good scientist. No longer like different animals, but in addition not human, they battle to search out their place on the planet of humanity. This is… Brute Force!

New from the Infinity Comics lineup: For the primary time in thirty-three years, Brute Force, the improved animal super-team and Earth’s most uncommon defenders, return in a new six-part solo collection unique to the Marvel Unlimited app! The occasions could have modified since 1990 however the Brute Force mission stays the identical: to be the champions of the animal kingdom and protectors of the pure world.

In BRUTE FORCE INFINITY COMIC, now obtainable to learn in full, collection writers Paul Scheer and Nick Giovannetti return to the characters they’ve come to understand as followers: “We’ve always wanted to revisit these characters [since DEADPOOL BI-ANNUAL #1]. We had some plans for a limited series and even a TV show,” says Paul Scheer. “And after the success of the documentary I did on Brute Force [for an episode of Marvel’s 616 on Disney+], Marvel approached us about going a different route and instead of doing a traditional comic, to embrace this new type of digital comic.”

With artwork by Geoffo and colorist Dee Cunniffe, BRUTE FORCE revisits the tragic roots of the workforce, and delves into the early historical past of the science that made heroes like Lionheart, Boomer, Soar, Bear, and Dr. Echo even attainable. “Brute Force has always been about animals getting a voice (literally) and also weapons,” teases Scheer. “We love the idea that these characters fight for the voiceless. But are Brute Force the only ones? Which made us start thinking about the animals used by NASA to test space flight. So, ‘Project Jojo’ tells the story about one animal that was sent to space and presumed to be dead, but spoiler alert, she wasn’t.”

Readers also can count on cameo appearances from the bigger Marvel Universe together with members of the Fantastic Four and Doctor Otto Octavius, AKA Doc Ock. But regardless of high-profile visitor stars, the collection is about constructing on the storytelling (and toyetic tech!) first laid out by Brute Force designer/creator Charles Viola. “Charles is a genius,” says Scheer. “He is an inventor and toy maker, so I think he has a handle on things that kids and adults alike would want to play with. It was up to us to take his future tech ideas which I think were very solid, and tell a story to make sure it wasn’t just about the tech.”

“In regard to this book, Nick [Giovannetti] had a very crystal idea of the story he wanted to tell, and I was happy to follow his lead and I love where we landed,” says Scheer of the collaboration. “We have worked together a lot throughout our career. Besides Nick’s encyclopedic knowledge of the Marvel Universe, we love to make each other laugh and surprise each other with twists in the story as we each take turns leading and following in the writing.”
