Image Comics and Skybound Team Up for SKYBOUND X Limited Series This Summer
Image Comics and Skybound Entertainment are teaming up this summer for a new five-issue limited series called Skybound X. This series will feature work from heavy hitters like Robert Kirman and Chip Zdarsky contributing stories to several Skybound series like Ultramega, Rick Grimes 2000, and more . Speaking of, each oversized weekly issue will start with a chapter from Rick Grimes 2000 from Kirkman and Ryan Ottley, a story from the back of The Walking Dead #75. I’ve included all of the details and even images of some of the covers down below. Talking about the occasion though, Kirkman said:
Surprise! Did you REALLY think we would let Skybound’s ten-year anniversary pass us by without bringing back some of our favorite characters? We are forever thankful for our community’s support over the past decade and are honored to share this special series with the larger Skybound family. None of these characters have such monumental journeys without the fans, so SKYBOUND X is for all of you!
Skybound X will be available on July 7 from local comic shops, comiXology (affiliate link) and wherever else you like to buy comics.
