XXXMedia Release -- Axel Alonso has been in the driver's seat of Marvel Comics' publishing line for little more than a month. While he's not looking to wipe out the image of Joe Quesada, Alonso does have big plans of his own… from bringing Garth Ennis back into the fold to taking the pants off of Howard the Duck. And just for the record, no he's not bringing all-out sex and violence to the Marvel Universe proper. In the newest issue of The Frontiersman, we pick Alonso's brain on all things Marvel, and of course, Fear Itself.
