The original runaways are back and they’re going to be guided by none other than Nick Spencer, the latest hot writer with a new Marvel exclusive deal.
Spencer announced this weekend at the Kapow Comic Con in England that he would be penning a three-issue Cloak and Dagger mini-series. The writer is getting his feet wet all over the Marvel Universe, first with Iron Man 2.0 and an upcoming—yet brief—run on Secret Avengers.
Cloak and Dagger made their first appearance in 1982’s Spectacular Spider-Man #64 and have turned up all around the Marvel Universe ever since. The two started out as a pair of runaways whose mutant powers were brought on after they were kidnapped and forced to undergo the testing of a synthetic heroin. When they first appeared they were merciless vigilantes, disposing their own form of justice to drug pushers. Last year, when Marvel announced possible television projects, a Cloak and Dagger series was one of the possible properties being bandied about.
Joining Spencer on the mini is artist Emma Rios (Osborn). A publication date has not yet been announced.
