| the cast of the Age of Mutant X |
Last month the U.S. began the publication of Age of X, an event that mutant dipanerà the pages of X-Men Legacy , New Mutants and a few mini-series, Age of X proposes a situation, perhaps, already seen by the readers of long standing, but certainly more exciting: the mutants in an alternate reality in which past events do not have succeeded as in the classic Marvel universe , triggering a series of disastrous and tragic consequences. Of course, the alternate reality of Age of X will be much worse than it already is not rosy in which the mutants are living their usual habits, Gambit, Rogue, Magneto and a handful of survivors will find themselves besieged in a fortress, at the mercy of many enemies who want the ultimate disappearance.
Among the authors involved on Age of X c'è anche Mirco Pierfederici , talento nostrano che ha esordito nel mondo delle nuvole parlanti sulle pagine di Jonathan Steele per poi "emigrare" repentinamente oltreoceano dove è approdato alla Marvel. Abbiamo approfittato di Age of X per scambiare quattro chiacchiere con lui.
Oltre all'intervista, in fondo a questo post, troverete due tavole a matita tratte da Age of X Alpha, numero speciale in cui ha inizio questa saga, e alcuni sketch preparatori per il nuovo look di alcuni personaggi (i virgolettati sono di Mirco Pierfederici).

Da Jonathan Steele alla Marvel, quanto è stato difficile passare dal fumetto popolare d’avventura italiano a quello supereroistico statunitense?
Difficile si, ma anche fortuito, è certo che da qualche anno a questa parte riuscire ad arrivare a pubblicare oltreoceano è diventato molto più semplice e possibile che in passato, grazie anche alle nuove politiche di submission dei propri lavori delle case editrici americane, di sicuro quello che rimane invariato è che prima di essere notati bisogna aver macinato parecchie tavole e aver capito in quello che consiste il mestiere del disegnatore, ossia raccontare storie in maniera chiara e fluida.
Rivolgersi al mercato straniero per te è stata una scelta dettata dalla passione per il fumetto d’oltreoceano?
Be' sicuramente son sempre stato molto affascinato dai comics americani e stilisticamente ho sempre seguito una corrente di autori per lo più statunitensi. La fortuna di lavorare su Jonathan Steele è stata la completa libertà dal punto di vista grafico che mi ha consentito di portare avanti una certa crescita artistica e stilistica che mi ha consentito di farmi notare anche oltreoceano.
Come è avvenuto il tuo primo contatto con la Marvel?
In the most obvious, knowing CB Cebulski at Angouleme and showing him my portfolio, from then on I continued to keep it updated with my work until I decided to give me a chance in Marvel.

The cover of the miniseries' Antivenom.
Six of the authors involved on Age of X. What was your role? And what you're busy?
My role has been marginal at the moment, dealing with the prologue event posted on Age of X alpha and creating new designs of some characters.
're currently working on Ruse. One of the most popular among readers CrossGen universe. What can you tell us of this miniseries? It will have links with the previous series or be a completely new starting point?
That certainly is one of the most interesting things on which I happened to work and that the mix of action and humor that Mark Waid was able created is amazing and the atmosphere of the series is so strong that it can capture any type of player.
without spoiler too say it is a mix between a reboot and a continuation of the series, it perfectly enjoyable for those who approach the work just now, but also in full of references to the old series that readers of longstanding non- can not grasp and appreciate.
After Ruse, what would you like to work?
Well for the moment (and for the next month) Ruse engages me really too much to think about what else already working, I'd definitely say mine on Spiderman or X-men.

"Rockslide, the basic idea was that of a warrior and a force to break resistance mutant, the change is minimal and mainly concerns its shape, now more pointed. Supplied with spikes and armor more aesthetic than anything else, his rock and, in itself hard enough to drill! "

| Toad |
"Two versions of Toad, the inspiration for the costume was a complete penetration of light and practical, are well suited to his mutant power, his face was changed because too far from Its classic look and probably not very recognizable to readers. "
