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.
In comics, Casey is known for his Eisner Award-nominated cosmic superhero epic, Gødland. His critically-acclaimed run on the series Wildcats and Automatic Kafka landed on numerous “best of the decade” lists. His genre-busting cult-favorites Officer Downe and Butcher Baker The Righteous Maker helped propel him onto MTV.com‘s list of the 10 best writers of 2011. In 2013, Casey launched Sex, his current series from the Man of Action imprint at Image Comics. Sex previewed in Playboy and led to the creation of his one-shot comic, Modern Romance, for the magazine’s prestigious 60th anniversary issue, complete with a cover byline. Casey debuted The Winternational as his first digital comic for the new Stela app and his sports-oriented strip, Crunch Time, for the Stela app. Casey debuted two new Man of Action/Image comics, New Lieutenants of Metal about a precision strike force militia of mayhem and MCMLXXV, and Annual, a book featuring new and more rare recent work by Casey. In addition, Lion Forge’s Catalyst Prime published his Accell series. His other recent comic book series include The Bounce and Valhalla Mad, from the man Comics Alliance described as “the most dangerous man in comics.” Casey’s Officer Downe feature film debuted last winter with Casey as the creator/screenwriter/producer based upon his original graphic novel of the same name.
