Debut Titles Include The Walking Dead’s “Clementine,” “Everyday Hero Machine Boy” and “Sea Serpent’s Heir”

 
Image/Skybound today announced that Skybound Comet, a new original graphic novel imprint aimed at Young Adult (Ages 12+) and Middle Grade (Ages 8-12) audiences, will launch next year everywhere books are sold.

Skybound Comet officially takes flight in July 2022 with CLEMENTINE BOOK ONE, beginning a trilogy set in the world of Robert Kirkman’s THE WALKING DEAD, from award-winning writer/artist Tillie Walden (SPINNING, ON A SUNBEAM). This will be followed by EVERYDAY HERO MACHINE BOY OGN from rising star voices Tri Vuong and Irma Kniivila in September 2022, and then SEA SERPENT’S HEIR BOOK ONE, kicking off a fantasy trilogy from acclaimed creators Mairghread Scott (STAR WARS: RESISTANCE, GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY) and Pablo Tunica (TMNT UNIVERSE), in October 2022.

“The goal of Skybound has always been to create the best comics that bring new readers to the medium we love so much, and Skybound Comet is the next step in that mission,” said Sean Mackiewicz, SVP, Editor-in-Chief, Skybound Entertainment. “We’ll be not only exploring pop culture phenomenon like THE WALKING DEAD from a whole new perspective, but also bringing you entirely new worlds and new characters that we know will capture the hearts of readers of all ages.”

“These three launches are only the beginning of our long-term graphic novel plan,” said Alex Antone, Senior Editor, Skybound Entertainment. “We’re committed to igniting the imaginations of young people with exciting new genre adventures from diverse storytellers for many years to come.”

CLEMENTINE Book One Cover

It’s a new beginning for Clementine, the star of the bestselling video game franchise TELLTALE’S THE WALKING DEAD, in CLEMENTINE BOOK ONE, as she’s back on the road, looking to put her traumatic past behind her and forge a new path all her own. But when she comes across an Amish teenager named Amos with his head in the clouds, the unlikely pair journeys North to an abandoned ski resort in Vermont, where they meet up with a small group of teenagers attempting to build a new, walker-free settlement. As friendship, rivalry, and romance begin to blossom amongst the group, the harsh winter soon reveals that the biggest threat to their survival…might be each other.

“Starting out with a character like Clementine is both a huge responsibility and joy. Clementine is a person who brings adventure with her everywhere she goes, and the more I thought about it, the more I wanted to take her beyond the world of the games, to somewhere new and thrilling (like the top of a mountain!),” said Walden. “She is a force and drawing and writing her story has been one of the best experiences in my cartooning life.”

Clementine makes her first comic book appearance in SKYBOUND X #1, available in comic shops and at digital providers on July 7, 2021.

EVERYDAY HERO MACHINE BOY Cover

In EVERYDAY HERO MACHINE BOY, the titular hero falls from the sky to the domed city of Mega416, leaving a wake of destruction in his path…until Karate Grandpa is able to turn on his heart. Now, Machine Boy wants nothing more than to become a hero! Whether he is fighting giant bugs in the school’s basement, rescuing cats from trees, or making the perfect spaghetti sauce, Machine Boy is always looking for the best way to help others. But when his heart begins to interact dangerously with other debris from space, Machine Boy wonders if he can be a power for good after all.

“Machine Boy was initially inspired by 80s anime, 16-bit video games, and kung fu movies but as Irma and I delved deeper into his world, we found ourselves telling a story about the pain and joys of growing up,” said Vuong. “Hopefully it touches on those collective childhood memories and experiences that we all seem to share.”

“The world of Everyday Hero Machine Boy kept getting more ludicrous as we worked on the story, but somehow more real. I wanted to live in Mega416 and could relate to the characters, even though that character might be a chicken jock,” said Kniivila. “We had a lot of big feelings while working on this story, and hope that it inspires big feelings too!”

Machine Boy makes his first comic book appearance in SKYBOUND X #2, available in comic shops and at digital providers on July 14, 2021.

SEA SERPENT'S HEIR Book One

The end of the world is coming in SEA SERPENT’S HEIR BOOK ONE as a teen named Aella on Kinamen Isle spends her days fishing and minding her aunts, dreaming of life beyond the horizon. Everything changes, however, when she awakens an ancient evil within herself as it’s revealed that she’s the reincarnation of Xir, the serpent that almost destroyed the world. Worse yet, a fanatical religious organization has arrived on Kinamen Isle in search of Xir.

“Adolescence is about finding yourself. Like finding out you’re destined to destroy the world, or that your whole village is made up of blood-thirsty pirates, or that… Okay, adolescence isn’t usually like this,” said Scott. “There are a lot of books about young women discovering they’re destined to save the world. This book is about a young woman who learns she’s destined to destroy it, and what exactly she does next.”

“In this strange world, with its stormy nights, tropical islands and ruthless magical pirates, I see echoes of the darkest Jim Henson or Arthur Rackham but I also see the mystery of the first kisses and the tenderness of mythological beasts,” said Tunica. “And if I mention the horror of the dark and the curiosity about magic, it is because that is precisely the feeling of growing up.”

Aella makes her first comic book appearance in SKYBOUND X #4, available in comic shops and at digital providers on July 28, 2021.

All Skybound Comet releases will be available at comic book shops, bookstores and digital platforms including Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, comiXology, and Google Play in 2022. 

Coming soon, for more info and updates on Skybound Comet fans will be able to visit SkyboundComet.com.

    Will these be available at book shops here in brazil? there’s not any comic ones where i live, and i can’t buy it trough this original skybound website because the shipping it’s to expensive. 240,84 Reais= 47,08 dollars. it would be awesome to have the physical copy 🙂
