Jimmy Palmiotti Takes Painkiller Jane to Icon

In a recent interview, Jimmy Palmiotti announced he was taking the Painkiller Jane property over to Marvel's Icon Imprint. The art on the four-issue series will be split with Juan Santacruz drawing the main story and Sam Lofti will draw the back-up story focusing on Jane's origin. Paul Mounts will be providing colors for the series.

Painkiller Jane was originally created in 1995 by Jimmy Palmiotti and Joe Quesada for their Event Comics company. After her initial five-issue mini-series, the character appeared in quite a few crossovers including with The Punisher, Vampirella and Hellboy. She also spent time over at Dynamite Entertainment and was the basis for both a film and television series.

On his twitter feed, Palmiotti responded to the announcement with these:

I am really excited to bring PAINKILLER JANE back, mainly because we need a foul mouthed, bi-sexual , pistol wielding badass in comics.
