Here's a first look at a few pages from the new June-debuting ongoing series KINGPIN, by the creative team of writer Bruce(INCREDIBLE HULK) Jones, penciler Sean Phillips (SLEEPER) & inker Klaus Janson (BATMAN: DEATH & THE MAIDENS).
Described as "The SOPRANOS meets GODFATHER PART II Marvel-style", the series follows the violent early life of Wilson Fisk -- a.k.a. the one-day Kingpin of Crime -- a shrewd young man who built his New York City organized crime empire the old-fashioned way, one dead body at a time.
Betrayal, gang-wars, and alliances are built and shattered in this first glimpse at the Kingpin's rise to power. Plus: the first encounter of the Kingpin and Spider-Man!
KINGPIN #1, with a cover by Esad Ribic and cover price of $2.50, goes on sale 6/11 and retailers are reminded its Final Order Cut-off (FOC) date is 5/22. KINGPIN #2 goes on-sale 7/9 and has an FOC of 6/19.
