I want to present a really interesting vision of [Jack] Kirby's characters and environments, as well as dig way, way deeper into the history of the Galactic Rangers.

I had a conversation with Nick Barrucci, and he said he thought I'd be a good fit for this project. It was just that simple! Once I learned what Kurt Busiek, Alex Ross, and Jack Herbert were doing for Kirby: Genesis, though, I was even more on board.

I read a random issue when I was a kid, but no, I wasn't super familiar with the characters [Captain Victory] until I started researching them. What I found once I started reading back issues however, was this crazy, sprawling, [Jack] Kirby space epic.

I've been using easy-to-understand DC Comics-surrogates to describe him: imagine if Darkseid's son, Orion, joined the Green Lantern Corps to train them to stop Darkseid. That's essentially what Victory is doing in the Galactic Rangers.
