DC
Comics has signed two of the hottest artists in comics to 3-year
exclusive agreements: Adam Kubert (Ultimate Fantastic Four,
Ultimate X-Men) and Andy Kubert (1602, Origin, Ultimate Iron
Man, Ultimate X-Men).

"I am so thrilled and excited to be a part of DC Comics,"
says Andy. "After making my home at Marvel for the last
15 years — a place that I love and will continue to do
so — I get to stretch my wings a bit and tackle the DC
icons! I can’t wait! As a comics artist, I can’t tell you how
fortunate I feel right now to have the career that I have had,
in a medium that I love so much. I am very, very lucky."

"This is a big move for Andy and myself…huge…and it’s
hard to put into words the excitement I’m feeling," says
Adam. "I could say how accommodating and professional DC
Comics has been in all our dealings, in particular Dan DiDio
and Terri Cunningham (VP — Managing Editor). I could say
that I’m finally going to get to draw all those iconic characters
I grew up with. I could say that I sincerely feel my best work
is yet to come. It’s difficult to put this all into a compact
soundbite. So, let me steal a quote from my mom instead: ‘What
more could a mother want?’"

"Without a doubt this is one of the highlights of my time
here at DC," says Dan DiDio, VP — Executive Editor,
DCU. "Never has any signing felt so right. Both of these
men belong here, and the entire company is excited that they
will be working on our greatest characters."
