You may recall that about a month ago �Smokin� Aces� director Joe Carnahan posted an image of �Juggernaut� on his page � without any explanation what it was doing there. Most assumed he�d attached himself to an �X-Men� spin-off.

Seems most were wrong.

Carnahan has revealed what the deal was there. Speaking again on his site, �About a month back, I posted a cryptic image of the 'Juggernaut' character without any further fanfare. It was my understanding at the time that I would be doing a limited run for Marvel comics after striking up a relationship with current 'X-Men' editor Axel Alonso. I was introduced to Mr. Alonso by the bestselling novelist and prodigious fiction powerhouse, Brad Meltzer. If you're not familiar with Brad's work, shame on you, get thee to Amazon and snap up a copy of the 'The Millionaires' (hard cover you cheap sh*ts!) toot sweet.

HOWEVER, my take on 'Juggernaut' would have directly interfered with a major Marvel event, so I was asked to revive a character called 'TASKMASTER' and just today, about an hour ago, I got word that we were moving forward. It will be a 4-6 volume series and will commence with the events following Taskmaster's severe beat down at the hands of 'Moon Knight.'

I've always been a latent comic nerd and this will represent my opening salvo into that
world. I'm being given the opportunity to literally build this character's origin story as well so I'm looking forward to pushing it as much as possible.��
