Valiant's Punk Mambo is finally getting a
solo series and she will be joined by Marie Laveau, the Voodoo Queen of New
Orleans. The spirit of Laveau will act as an ally/annoyance for Punk Mambo when
she is drawn out of her Bayou home to recover something stolen from her. Cullen
Bunn and New Mutants: Dead Souls’ Adam Gorham will team on the April launching
five-issue limited series. Bunn finds the character very interesting. She may be
the most powerful magician in the Valiant Universe but couldn’t care less. Magic
is a system of rituals and rules and rites and she hates rules. He plans on
pushing her very hard in the series. Mambo will be forced to leave Louisiana and
travel to another city with deep connections to voodoo. She would be content to
stay in her cabin in the swamp but something is stolen from her. She doesn’t
need what was stolen but is angry that anyone would dare to steal from her that
she goes out after the thief. Her search will lead her to multiple threats but
the most serious is a man named Azaire Aguilliard, who could bring down the
natural world and the supernatural one. Marie Laveau will help/annoy and just be
around Punk Mambo whether she wants her there or not.

four standard covers and is currently scheduled to arrive on New Comic
