‘Huck: Big Bad World’ brings back the heartwarming hero who just wants to do good deeds.

Mark Millar and Rafael Albuquerque will return to the small-town heroics of Huck later this year, as Dark Horse will publish the six-issue sequel miniseries Huck: Big Bad World beginning in May. They’re joined by colorist Dave McCaig and letterer Clem Robins.

The science fiction series follows the preview that was released on Free Comic Book Day earlier this month.

After fans received a preview during this year’s Free Comic Book Day, Rick Remender and Max Fiumara’s new ongoing series The Sacrificers will debut from Image Comics in August.

The high-concept science fiction series is set on another world where peace comes with a price. Remender and Fiumara are joined by colorist Dave McCaig on the project.

“Max has long been one of my very favorite artists,” said Remender. “We worked together briefly on a Spider-Man story years ago and he’s always been at the top of my list of artists to reunite with. I think what we’ve developed here is one of the most beautiful and unique stories in the marketplace, in no small part due to Max and color master Dave McCaig’s next level world creating. It is truly unlike anything I’ve ever seen before.”
