Man of Action Entertainment are Joe Casey, Joe Kelly, Duncan Rouleau and Steven T. Seagle, the writers’ collective behind comic’s largest franchise characters as well as original characters published by their Man of Action imprint at Image Comics. Their creations include Ben 10, the $4.5 billion boys’ action franchise for which they’re executive producing the new iteration, and Generator Rex, both for Cartoon Network. Dentsu handpicked them to create, write and executive produce the all-new Mega Man series coming to Cartoon Network this year and they also created the Zak Storm series for Zag that airs on Netflix. Man of Action previously launched Disney XD’s Marvel’s Ultimate Spider-Man and Marvel’s Avengers Assemble as EXP/writers. Man of Action also created the characters and team Big Hero 6, featured in Disney/Marvel’s Academy Award®-winning feature and the only comic book IP to win that award. In addition to creating successful video games, toy lines and comic books, Man of Action are the creator/producer/writers of current and upcoming feature films and live-action TV series based on their original comic books and graphic novels including the recent I Kill Giants feature film, 2016’s Officer Downe film and the upcoming Kafka, The Crusades and The Great Unknown.
Rouleau’s work has won him both professional and critical acclaim as a writer and as an artist. His first graphic novel, The Nightmarist, was described as “… the best original graphic novel released in years. Miss this piece of seminal fiction, and you’ll be missing out on a true classic of the field.” — Dave Baxter, BrokenFrontier.com. Of his follow up work The Great Unknown, Zak Edwards of Comics Bastards wrote, “The Great Unknown #1 has probably my most favorite opening to a comic book in my recent memory, and from there an amazing protagonist. Confrontational, egotistical, wearing a freaking ‘Who is John Galt’ t-shirt, I am in love with Duncan Rouleau’s Zach Fled.” The Great Unknown is presently in development as a feature film with New Line Cinema, Rouleau and Man of Action Entertainment producing.
