Pela IDW e escrito por seu criador, Badger, que teve série publicada no Brasil durante um tempo, voltará ser publicado.
He's made the rounds at a variety of independent publishers, but this November, Mike Baron's Badger returns at IDW. Originally kicking off with four Capital Comics issues in 1983, Badger moved to First Comics for a substantial 66-issue run.
The character proved popular enough to appear in original graphic novels, spin-off mini-series, and First Comics' crossover, Crossroads, in 1988. Unfortunately, the main title ceased publication as First folded. Subsequently, Badger appeared from Dark Horse (two minis in 1994) and Image (11 issues, beginning in 1997).
For Baron's part, he's had a lengthy career apart from Badger. In addition to co-creating (the also just-returned) Nexus with Steve Rude, Baron has written The Flash, The Punisher, Batman, and more. We caught up with Mike Baron to talk about who Badger is, whether there's ever a right time for a comeback, and breakdowns.
Newsarama: Starting off from ground level, Mike, could you brief the unfamiliar on the concept of The Badger?
Mike Baron: The Badger is Norbert Sykes, a veteran suffering from multiple personality disorder. One of these personalities, the Badger, is a costumed crime fighter with a special affinity for animals. The stories run the gamut from serious to silly. There's more about this at my website, www.bloodyredbaron.com
NRAMA: Why is this the right time to bring Badger back, and why IDW?
Baron: I don't think Badger ever should have gone into hibernation, but now that he's out I plan to make the most of it. It's the right time because my skills have caught up with my imagination. The world needs Badger to unravel mysteries and to ravel new mysteries. IDW has been interested in Badger for several years. IDW understands Badger.
