The Eisner Award winning team of New York Times bestselling, comics titan Robert Kirkman (Oblivion Song, The Walking Dead), artist Chris Samnee (Daredevil), colorist Matt Wilson (Paper Girls, The Wicked + The Divine), and letterer Rus Wooton (The Walking Dead), bring fans an all-new, full color, action-packed ongoing series—Fire Power—which will launch from Image/Skybound this Spring. First with the Fire Power: Prelude, Vol. 1 original graphic novel on Wednesday, April 29. Then with the Fire Power #1 FCBD release on Saturday, May 2. And finally with the official single issue series launching with Fire Power #1 and Fire Power #2 simultaneously on Wednesday, June 3.
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-shaped hole in your monthly pull list. This new series also marks Samnee’s return to comics after wrapping up his best-selling 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?
So if a new character appears in both issues 1 & 2, do both books tie as a first appearance?
?
Lol. Yes! And the debate begins.
What happens if they’re both just last page shadows on the pages? Do we have two cameos?
What happens if both issues have someone pretending to be the main character? And the real main character doesn’t appear until issue three! For both issues are complete/bags and dish number three is the first issue the characters actually appear in?
What if the main character learns to throw fireballs by issue 3 and kills that main character by accident?
Wait…which main character is throwing fireballs? The pretend main character or the real main character?
The pretend pretend main character.
Is it like Wrigley’s Spearmint Gum… double the pleasure, double the fun?
This book is a hard pass for me. If I need fireball throwing in my life, I’ll just play Street Fighter II.
Nope. I’ll just get really interested and then Kirkman will end it abruptly with a lame story.
Won’t fool me again.
