Keeping true to the strong tradition started during the epic campaign for ISOM #2, The Horseman comes to life in his very own animated trailer.

Introducing The Horseman: A New Street-Level Vigilante

The Horseman is a truly original street-level vigilante created by the legendary team Chuck Dixon and Joe Bennett. Chuck Dixon is famous for his character-defining work on The Punisher and the Bat Family, including Batman, Birds of Prey, and Nightwing, as well as Robin. His ability to write multidimensional, well-developed, interesting stories for long runs has made his work iconic in this space. He calls Horseman “a Dollar Store version of Batman, a better-adjusted version of The Punisher.”

Joe Bennett is famous for his sensational work on Spider-Man, Captain America, Fantastic Four, Elektra, Thor, and The Incredible Hulk, which brought these characters to new heights. His work on The Immortal Hulk won Marvel Comics a Diamond Gem award in 2018 for ‘Best New Comic Book Series’ and was nominated for the 2019 Eisner Award for ‘Best New Comic Book Series.’

The Team Behind The Horseman: Chuck Dixon and Joe Bennett

We last saw Chuck Dixon and Joe Bennett team up for Alphacore #1 for the Rippaverse. Their million-dollar-plus campaign was the first series that came from creatives outside of Rippaverse founder and owner Eric July. It cemented the Rippaverse as one of the most exciting independent companies in comic entertainment today. Fans loved the investigative crime thriller storyline, which explored the dynamics of Alphacore, the Except unit led by Bryan Solari with team members Ingrid Valdez and Jeramya Braxwell, who are newly formed and working with the Florespark Police Force. The artwork leaped off the pages, and Michael Copper & Lilian Ronashi were revealed to be deadly villains with sinister intentions for the city of Florespark.
