Marvel Comics and penciller Scott Kolins have once again entered into an
exclusive deal between them. Former Flash artist Kolins was happy with
his initial exclusivity at Marvel when asked why he’s re-upping that deal.
“I had a really good time working with them for the last two years; why
not keep that going?! In fact, I think we’ve only just begun to figure out the
best books for me to work on, so it’s wonderful to stay here at Marvel and build
on top of what we’ve already done. I am REALLY looking forward to the next few
years!”

Kolins spent his important formative years as a penciller
at Marvel and was part of the famed “Romita’s Raiders”, a loose
apprenticeship under legendary Marvel artist John Romita Sr. Later, at DC, he
hit his stride with his long tenure on Flash (with writer Geoff Johns).
“I still draw as many Flash sketches at cons as anything else,” says
Kolins. “The fans are great, and I’m thankful to each and every one of
them.”
Up next for Kolins is Thor: Blood Oath. “I’m
having an absolute blast. I’m a big Thor fan and love mythology stories – which
this one is steeped in. Mike Oeming is writing some really fun stuff and Wil
Quintana (EMH) is brilliantly coloring me again.”

Marvel Editor Tom
Brevoort has nothing but good to say about Kolins’ past and future with the
House of Ideas. “I’m ecstatic that we’re able to keep him in the fold, and
expect great things from him over the next few years.”
