by Olly MacNamee

With San Diego Comic Con in full swing, I thought I’d double down and share not onew but two new previes for upocoming comics from Image and Skybound. First up is Skybound’s Void Rivals #22 by writer Robert Kirkman, artist Conor Hughes, colourist Patricio Delpeche, and letterer Rus Wooton:

It’s a showdown: SPRINGER VS PROXIMUS! Meanwhile… what exactly is Skuxxoid planning?

Cover A by Lorenzo De Felici
Cover B by Conor Hughes
Cover C (1:10 Copy Incentive – Connecting) by Martín Morazzo & Patricio Delpeche
Cover D (1:25 Copy Incentive) by Stephane Roux
Cover E (1:50 Copy Incentive) by Ejikure

Void Rivals #22 is out on Wednesday 27th August with covers by Lorenzo De Felic,i an open-to-order cover B by Conor Hughes, Martín Morazzo and Patricio Delpeche (1:10 incentive variant connecting cover series), Stephane Roux (1:25 incentive variant), and Ejikure (1:50 incentive variant).

Secondly, we have a fictionalised tribute to Jack Kirby with The Man Who Dreamt The Impossible, by writer Mário Freitas and artist Lucas Pereira:

“Jack King is the eldest in the care home. A prodigy of imagination, always telling fascinating stories, but recently suffering from extreme fatigue and lack of motivation. Then comes Mike, a young orderly who will help restore Jack’s spirit and his much-loved library, a place fallen into disarray and near abandonment, certainly not unrelated to the sinister pestilence lurking on its shelves…

This story is a salute to Jack Kirby, to the men who better took care of his work, and to others who suffered the same creative and editorial constraints throughout their careers.”
