Esteemed comic book scribe Robert Kirkman (Invincible, The Walking Dead) launched his new series Skinbreaker in September 2025. The debut issue has sold excellently, and Skybound and Image Comics have announced that the issue will return for a second printing.
Robert Kirkman has teamed up with Batman artist David Finch to unleash Skinbreaker, a brutal new 8-issue comic. The comic features colours by Annalisa Leoni (Invincible Universe: Battle Beast), and letters from Rus Wooton (TRANSFORMERS).
Skinbreaker tells the story of a people on the verge of collapse and their fight for survival as the many threats they face close in for the kill. Check out the official synopsis in full:
Enor has led his tribe for many seasons, but his time as Chieftan is coming to an end. He wields the mighty SKINBREAKER, but at his age, he can barely lift it. Will Enor’s reluctant heir, Anok, take over before their world falls to ruin? As a bloody power struggle begins, an even bigger threat lurks in the darkness beyond their village.
Issue #1 was a visually stunning debut, building an intriguing world with so much potential. Fans took to it massively, so much that the debut issue sold out completely at distributor level and will return with a new printing for both the standard and treasury editions.
he second printing includes a newly recolored main cover by David Finch & Annalisa Leoni, as well as a brand-new cover by Jorge Corona (TRANSORMERS) for the standard edition. The treasury edition, which captures the grandeur of David Finch’s art in a 10″ x 14″ oversized format on deluxe newsprint, will be reprinted with the treasury-format version of the original issue’s Cover G by David Finch & Annalisa Leoni.
“I’m always so thrilled when I see this industry supporting new ideas!” said Robert Kirkman. “David and I are extremely gratified to see the response to this series. We can’t wait for people to see more of the world of Skinbreaker.”
Skinbreaker #1 (of 8) Treasury Edition Second Printing by David Finch & Annalisa Leoni releases on October 29, 2025.
