April 2020 Skybound Solicits! Books Announced!

April is three months away and [puts on millenial hat] it’s going to be a BANGER! [takes off millenial hat, throws it away, apologizes]

Of note: FIRE POWER arrives with the Prelude OGN! This is the book to read BEFORE issue #1 hits on New Comic Book Day just a few days later! EXCELLENCE returns for its second arc and has an absolutely amazing variant from Chris Brunner and Rico Renzi. The OUTER DARKNESS/CHEW crossover continues and comes with two fantastic covers—love seeing Afu take on CHEW and Rob taking on OUTER D. HEART ATTACK closes out an arc and Shawn Kittelsen, if you break my heart, remember I know where you work. And of course lots more! Scroll on down for the goodness.
