The New York Times bestselling, Eisner Award winning comics titan Robert Kirkman (Oblivion Song, The Walking Dead) is teaming with Eisner winning artist Chris Samnee (Daredevil), Eisner Award winning colorist Matt Wilson (Paper Girls, The Wicked + The Divine), and letterer Rus Wooton (The Walking Dead), to bring fans an all-new, full color, action-packed ongoing series—Fire Power—which will launch from Image/Skybound in May 2020. This is the first new project from Kirkman since the surprise conclusion to his pop culture phenomenon The Walking Dead. This new series also marks Samnee’s return to comics after wrapping up his bestselling run on Captain America that concluded in early 2018.
