Fire Power Kirkman & Samnees Series Promises to Fill Walking Deads Void
Image Comics has announced Fire Power, a new Skybound series by Robert Kirkman, Chris Samnee, Matt Wilson and Rus Wooton.
Following the surprise conclusion of The Walking Dead, writer Robert Kirkman is teaming with artist Chris Samnee, colorists Matt Wilson and letterer Rus Wooton for the all-new Image Comics/Skybound Entertainment series Fire Power.
"Getting to create a whole new world with its own mythology and rules is always the highlight of my life," Kirkman said in a statement. "Getting to do that with Chris Samnee is definitely a high water mark in this dusty old career of mine. With a massive cast of characters populating this sprawling globe-spanning epic Chris has proven more than adept at handling anything I've thrown at him in the time we've been toiling away on this series in secret. Kung Fu, Fireballs, Chris Samnee, crazy action, Chris Samnee, Chris Samnee. What more could I say to get you excited about this book?"
Cover art, preview pages and the synopsis for Fire Power are below:
Owen Johnson's journey to China to learn about his birth parents eventually leads him to a mysterious Shaolin Temple. The students there study to rediscover the Fire Power, the lost art of throwing fireballs. A power they claim will be needed soon to save the world. Will Owen Johnson be the first person in a thousand years to wield the Fire Power?
Fire Power, by Robert Kirkman, Chris Samnee, Matt Wilson and Rus Wooton, debuts in May 2020 from Image Comics.
