Wilson Fisk Back And Bold In Kingpin #1

Wilson Fisk has a public relations problem.  He wants to be a legitimate businessman, standing atop an industrial empire that extends its reach beyond New York's financial district to a multinational scale, but his reputation as a titan in the city's criminal underworld is an impediment to his ambitions. But he has a plan, and he'll go legit, no matter what it takes, in Matthew Rosenberg and Ben Torres' new series, Kingpin #1 (DEC160863), from Marvel Comics this February!

To overcome his reputation as a criminal, Fisk hires Sarah Dewey, a journalist with no options, as his public relations agent. When Fisk cuts the ribbon at a hospital wing he funded, Dewey writes the press release and arranges media coverage. When Fisk donates to a local museum, Dewey fields the phone calls from the press at the Times, the Post, and the Bugle. Dewey's job -- make Wilson Fisk look good, make him a paragon of virtue, make him an outstanding citizen. But as William Faulkner wrote, "The past isn't dead. It isn't even past," and Dewey will find herself drawn into a world of ambition and greed, where the lines between right and wrong blur, where trust is weakness and betrayal is common.

Matthew Rosenberg, the writer of the acclaimed mini-series Civil War II: Kingpin, continues Wilson Fisk's story, exploring his psychology and his methods, alongside artist Ben Torres (Knight Watchman) for a towering saga of greed, ambition, and how far people will go and the lines they will cross to achieve their ends. Similar to television series like House of Cards and Breaking Bad, Kingpin takes a unique look at the Marvel Universe, one of its most influential characters, and the seductive nature of power.

Wilson Fisk will make you an offer you can't refuse in Marvel's Kingpin #1 (DEC160863) in comic shops February 8!
