About this Issue

Ravage 2099 #11 is the issue where the Mills/Skinner era of the title decisively shifts the series from outlaw-fugitive story into a corporate-conspiracy thriller: Ravage assumes the CEO chair of Green Globe PLC, transitioning from hunted refugee to boardroom power-player within the Marvel 2099 universe's anti-corporate satire. More concretely, the issue delivers two of the most consequential first full appearances in the entire 2099 line — Avatarr, the hidden alien puppet-master pulling Alchemax's strings, and the Alchemax Board of Directors as a functioning body — filling in the top of the megacorporate hierarchy that every 2099 title had been gesturing at since launch. It also introduces Miranda Ravage, whose recurring role as a rival sibling gives the second half of the series much of its personal dramatic tension. The issue was simultaneously used as one of five books bundled to redeem a promotional 2099 Behind-the-Scenes Sketchbook, anchoring it as a publisher-level marketing milestone for the whole imprint.

History

By issue #11, the creative team had already turned over completely from the series' origins. Stan Lee, who conceived the Marvel 2099 imprint as a way to launch wholly original future characters alongside futuristic reinventions of classic heroes, had plotted through issue #8, with British writers Pat Mills and Tony Skinner taking over full scripting duties from #9 onward. Grant Miehm, who had stepped in as regular penciler with issue #8 after John Byrne's early departure and a brief fill-in by José Delbo, drew the cover and interior art for #11, with Keith Williams on inks — a creative pairing that would define the book's visual identity through the mid-run. Tom DeFalco served as Editor-in-Chief for the issue, as he did across the 2099 imprint during this period.
