Matthew Rosenberg and Stefano Landini Team Up For An Exciting New Story
The launch of We're Taking Everyone Down with Us marks the reunion of Matthew Rosenberg and Stefano Landini as a creative team, following their legendary team-up on Marvel Comics' Punisher. Now, they're collaborating on a creator-owned book that follows young Annalise on her quest to avenge her father. "This is a book born from two creators who want to make something that feels important, make something that challenges ourselves artistically, and make something that allows us to pour our hearts into it completely," writer Rosenberg told Screen Rant. "And also has cool robots that beat people to death. That was important to us too."
"This is a book born from two creators who want to make something that feels important, make something that challenges ourselves artistically, and make something that allows us to pour our hearts into it completely."
Artist and fellow co-creator Landini added, "I've been working as a comic book artist for over 20 years, but this time it's different. This project is not just my visual art, but a project that thanks to Matt, dresses up for the big date and becomes big. I'm excited like I haven't been in many years. I hope that readers can love it as much as we are loving making it." We're Taking Everyone Down with Us is a passion project through and through, and the care that's been poured into it can be felt in its gorgeous art and gripping narrative.

Ahead of the comic's highly anticipated premiere, Image Comics' official synopsis for the first issue reads as follows:
After her mad-scientist father is killed by the world's greatest spy, 13-year-old Annalise is left all alone in the world. Sort of. Her dead dad's robot bodyguard is following her around for some reason. Now Annalise has a choice: try to lead a normal life for the first time ever... or seek revenge and maybe overthrow the world order in the process.
Annalise has already established herself as a compelling protagonist who isn't afraid to speak her mind in previews, commanding attention from the audience with her strong personality. With her at the forefront of the plot, Rosenberg and Landini are about to take readers on a vengeance-fueled ride with a beating heart at its core, and readers should keep an eye out for this promising series once it hits comic shelves next month.
We're Taking Everyone Down with Us #1 will be available March 26th, 2025 from Image Comics.
