In July, Marvel is launching a new three-issue limited series titled Red Skull with Joshua Williamson and Luca Pizzari. Featuring covers by Riley Rossmo, Red Skull follows a unique team of characters as they venture into the Secret Wars dominion known as the Deadlands to find out, once and for all, if rumors about the Red Skull’s death are true.

“Well, The Red Skull should be dead. That’s what the powers that be in Battleworld wanted. The Red Skull led a revolt, breaking boundaries and causing all sorts of problems…so he was sent over the Shield to die,” Williamson tells Newsarama. “Some time later there is a rumor… a movement… that the Red Skull lives, and is quietly planning a revolution. There are actually people wearing ‘The Red Skull was right’ t-shirts in Battleworld. He’s becoming more powerful in death than he ever was in life. A team is forced to go find his body and prove that he is dead. This team however doesn’t normally have the best intentions.”


The team is comprised of Winter Soldier, Magneto and Lady Deathstrike, as well as Electro, Jack O’Lantern and Moonstone, in a Thunderbolts-esque paradigm inside Secret Wars.
