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.

“Getting to create a whole new world with its own mythology and rules is always the highlight of my life. Getting to do that with Chris Samnee is definitely a high water mark in this dusty old career of mine,” said Kirkman. “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?”

This is the first new project from Kirkman since the surprise conclusion to his pop culture phenomenon The Walking Dead. Fire Power will more than fill a walker-sized hole in your monthly pull list. This new series also marks Samnee's return to comics after wrapping up his bestselling run on Captain America that concluded in early 2018.

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?

Tu veux dire qu'il ne va pas faire Batman avec Bendis chez DC? Wildcard sort de ce corps! ;)

[scarletneedle]

Non, je le voyais plus sur Shazam. :D

[aegnor]

[Norrin]

Parfait timing. Outcast va bientôt finir. Je prendrais surement le premier TPB pour voir.

Un PV parce que tu m'as fait rire ! ;)
Vu le kamehameha de la couv, je pense plus à Tortue Géniale et Sangoku…
Comme c'est signé Kirkman, je pense qu'on va vite être surpris. Et puis, comme toujours, les dessins de Samnee sont impériaux ! Je l'attendais aussi chez DC mais sur ce projet, avec ce scénariste, je suis comblé ! :yo:

[Hob]

J'achète tout de suite

Content de le revoir aux crayon :)

[Dhargo]

Je vais attendre ce titre avec impatience. ^^

Très sympa. Bon, c'est rempli d'éléments déjà vus ailleurs: le thème possession/exorcisme, la petite bourgade US dont tous les habitants se connaissent, l'ambiance poisseuse qui va avec, le héros looser et son lourd passé... Kirkman construit son intrigue en amalgamant tous ces éléments, et ça marche plutôt bien!

C'est parfois un peu lent mais il y a toujours le rebondissement ou la révélation qui donne envie d'y revenir pour voir la suite. ;)

Les petits malins!!

Earlier this year, it was announced that writer Robert Kirkman was teaming with artist Chris Samnee on a new Image Comics/Skybound series titled Fire Power to debut this May - but they've now announced a surprise prelude to debut in April, ahead of the ongoing series.

Scheduled to debut April 29, Fire Power, Vol. 1: Prelude will set the stage for their ongoing series - containing the equivalent to over 7 issues worth of pages, according to Kirkman.

"Owen Johnson's story is just too epic! We need this prelude graphic novel to get you primed for the series launch with issue #1," Kirkman said in the announcement. "I'm so thrilled that we're going to be introducing the world to Fire Power in this format. Readers will be able to pick up this book, featuring nearly 8 issues worth of story and art for $9.99 on a Wednesday and then come back to the store on Saturday ready for the free issue #1 on Free Comic Book Day! That's almost too much Samnee and [Matthew Wilson] goodness to handle!”

In this series, a young man named Owen Johnson discovers he's adopted and begins the search for answers about his past. That search leads him on the trail of his birth parents - a path that takes him to a Shaolin Temple.

"The students there study to rediscover the Fire Power, the lost art of throwing fireballs," reads Skybound's description "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?"

:clap:
Tortue géniale plutôt que Stick, mais oui tu n'es pas loin.

[Hilarion]

Comme déjà dit :

Rien à faire.

Tortue Géniale, le Kamé Hamé Ha et une référence à Karaté Kid? Je le veux quand même. :huhu:

Un Iron-Fist mais plus drôle et mieux dessiné? J'en veux encore plus! :D
