The New Faces of MV1: Francisco Araujo da Costa

Jason Snyder - Sam Everett - Jason Kenney
Shawn Connolly - Al Ritter - Paulo Costa


HEROES: Tell us a little about yourself in 30 words or less.

Francisco Araujo da Costa: I'm a Brazilian high school student with a drive to read an write non-stop. I read a lot of Marvel, and started fanfic from, well, ideas popping up...

H: How did you find MV1?

FC: Jess Nevins' site had a link to it, IIRC, or maybe a link to where I found MV1...

H: Tell us a little bit about your new book, "Children of the Atom."

FC: Well, it's the story of real teenagers. Well, fictional ones. Mutants. But that is the least of it - they are just like me... well, actually, they're more like normal teens. Except they're mutants. See, all very clear. Or not... :-)

H: What can we expect to see in the future of this book?

FC: Lots of new characters, not-so-superheroics, and not a "dominant" style. Nobody is brooding all the time, or happy-go-lucky all the time - there is what little realism I can grasp.

H: You recently took over Wolverine. Give us your take on the character, and what we can expect to see in your run.

FC: I see Wolverine as the man with the beast inside, and control over it most of the time. A man willing to fight for other people's dreams, adn with a set of morals different than mine. And what can you expect? SNIKT, but maybe not like you want it to.

H: Are there any books on MV1 that you want to get a chance to write?

FC: Not really. I already flood evrybody with anthologies, annuals and backups when I have urges...
