Robert Kirkman + friends will launch ‘Terminal’ in July

An all-star line-up will helm the series, which was announced during Kirkman’s keynote address at this week’s ComicsPro meeting.

Skybound chief Robert Kirkman announced this week that he’s teaming with Joe Casey, Andy Kubert, David Finch and Arthur Adams on Terminal, a new superhero series that will launch in July.

The announcement came during Kirkman’s keynote address at the ComicsPro industry meeting in Glendale, Calif. The series features colors by Dave McCaig and letters by Rus Wooton.

“Listen, I’ve done my fair share of press release quotes but never for anything this cool,” Kirkman said (in a press release). “This will be the coolest comic on the market by the best creative team ever assembled. I dare you to find a book with a more stunning array of artistic talent. Go on, I’ll wait! You can’t! I’m co-creating another vast superhero universe and I’m getting to do it along with Joe Casey, Andy Kubert, David Finch and Arthur Adams! It’s going to be great!”

Now with less than a week left, they’ve hit their funding goal for the first issue of a Terminal miniseries, with hopes that they can earn enough to publish the second issue as well. Contributors to the project include a mix of veteran and emerging comic and webcomic creators, along with several names you might recognize from the comic press — one of whom is even our former boss.

I spoke with two members of their “board,” Steve Ekstrom and Troy Brownfield, about Imminent Press, Terminal, their Kickstarter campaign and more.
