Writer’s Workshop #9: Rick Remender, DINGLEBERRY To X-FORCE
Rick Remender is one writer who doesn’t hold back — in either his stories, or his interviews.
Chatting with the writer of Uncanny X-Force, Fear Agent and The Punisher about the course of his career, you realize that he’s got just as much to say about marketing yourself as he does about the nuts and bolts of the writing craft. MORE
Rick Remender Makes it Work
“Easier said than done” – it’s a commonly used phrase. Perhaps too common. But a close second would have to be “There really are no bad characters in comics; it just takes the right writer and the right pitch”… and isn’t it funny how the two kinda go hand-in-hand? MORE
X-POSITION: RICK REMENDER
A few months ago, one of the X-Universe’s biggest secrets was revealed: a mutant team known as X-Force had been sanctioned by Cyclops to go out and “eliminate” those individuals and groups that threatened the existence of the mutants of the Marvel Universe. Once that revelation came to light, Cyclops decided to disband the team; moments later, however, a new, even more secret X-Force was formed. MORE
Rick Remender Makes VENOM ‘007 It Up’ In New Ongoing
The Venom symbiote has been a lot of things in its nearly three-decade history in the Marvel Universe — with Peter Parker, a superhero and sprurned partner; with Venom, a vengeful threat and lethal protector; and with Mac Gargan, a Thunderbolt and Dark Avenger.

THE LAST DAYS OF AMERICAN CRIME #1 SECOND PRINTING
January 26th, Los Angeles Retailers and fans who missed The Last Days of American Crime #1 the first time around now have a second chance to pick up the newest critically acclaimed title from Rick Remender (Punisher, Fear Agent). Radical Publishing is pleased and proud to announce that the second printing of Remenders newest sold-out crime masterpiece, featuring series artist Greg Tocchini (Marvel 1602: New World), will be hitting shelves again alongside the highly anticipated second issue.
The Last Days of American Crime takes place in the not-too-distant future, where the U.S. government plans in secret to broadcast a signal making it impossible for anyone to knowingly commit unlawful acts as a final response to terrorism and crime. To keep this from the public, the government creates a distraction, installing a new currency system using digital charge cards. Graham Bricke, a career criminal never quite able to hit the big score, intends to steal one of the charging stations, skip the country and live off unlimited funds for the rest of his life. But the media has leaked news of the anti-crime signal one week before it was to go live… and now Graham and his team have just a few days to turn the heist of the century into the last crime in American history.
Critics and fans have raved over The Last Days of American Crime #1.
“From cover art to opening pages, Last Days hits readers with an unflinching dose of pulp noir seediness and doesn’t let up.” John Geddes, USAToday.com
because there are no new stories, writers must perform a magic act in order to make the reader believe he is reading something new. Well, someone get Rick Remender a top hat and a wand because he accomplishes it in the down and dirty Last Days of American Crime. By infusing a classic noir heist with the tension of modern American politics, Remender gives us a great opening to a comic series perhaps even on the level of Criminal or 100 Bullets.”
Andy Bentley, IGN Comics
The Last Days of American Crime #1 is a good first issue that sets up the world and the crime at hand well. If you enjoy Criminal and other crimes books, you’ll probably get a kick out of this.

Remender paces this first act with just enough information, bravado, and grizzled noir to keep a hungry reader satisfied. Noel Bartocci, Broken Frontier
This is crime fiction at its best. Remender totally immerses you in their world, and it’s a hell of a ride.
Sebastian Piccione, Project Fanboy
