There's also a rather long article about the series on Marvel.com

"Norman was first held at the Raft, but quickly transferred to this secret, privately-run containment center," says DeConnick. "The prisoners he's locked down with here are super-secret; this is where the worst of the worst are kept. These criminals are a danger to everyone on the planet, and particularly our country."

This prison, dubbed the FCC Special Containment Center, holds within its walls global threats so dire that the government never let the world know, and they've never even been seen before.

"In Osborn's wing there is also June Covington, our mad scientist icon," DeConnick explains. "Then there's Zirdal, who is a big momma alien, like a mama bear. She's actually the one who is the most empathic of the group, even if she thinks the human species are a threat to her race and that's why humans have to die."

DeConnick also described another inmate as a demon with the ability to change people's memories, but with a nasty side-effect of making those victims bitter and angry. Rounding out the group in Osborn's wing will be a Peruvian jaguar god nicknamed "The Decapitator," and the writer applauded series' artist Emma Rios depiction of him as "fantastic and creepy, with giant teeth I adore."

"There are things coming directly from ["American Son"], especially the Nora Winters part, which feeds directly into our story. OSBORN is almost as much Nora's story as it is Norman's."

Nice, I love Emma Rios' art, and from what I've read of DeConnick's work I've liked.

While not a big fan of the Spidey-verse, I may pick this up. The concept looks really intriguing, plus Emma Rio's art is a bonus.

I'll check it out. Hopefully they can fix the character Norman Osbourn, although what has been done with him has been so outrageous it wouldn't surprise me if he's been irreparably ruined.
