Marvel is celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Marvel Knights imprint in a big way. Today at Comic-Con the publisher revealed that Venom writer Donny Cates will spearhead a Marvel Knights relaunch beginning in November.

The news came at Marvel’s Retailer Appreciation Luncheon, as Editor-in-Chief C.B. Cebulski and SVP David Gabriel welcomed the newly Marvel-exclusive Cates to the stage. Cates will serve as “showrunner” for the new line, in a role that sounds similar to Gerard Way’s handling of DC’s Young Animal imprint. Cates will be supervising new titles from several creative teams, with Matthew Rosenberg, Tini Howard and Vita Ayala confirmed to be involved.
