Superstar creator Tyler Kirkham (Amazing Spider-Man, Green Lantern) will make his debut at Image Comics later this year, with his all new action-packed series Final Boss.
Described by publisher Image Comics as an “over-the-top adventure that’s a high-octane nod to classic action stories,” Final Boss follows Tommy Brazen, who uses his newfound powers for various paid enforcer gigs and street fights, only to uncover a past far more complex than he ever imagined. The series kicks off in November, with issue #1 featuring variant covers from some top talents, including V. Ken Marion, Ryan Ottley, and Jae Lee. Kirkham himself is also drawing a cover.
While further plot details are largely under wraps, Kirkham teased a little of what readers can expect. If one thing is for sure, expect a homage to classic arcade games. “Final Boss is a culmination of everything I loved growing up as an ’80s and ’90s kid,” said Kirkham in a statement. “From the fan-favorite action heroes and beat ’em up arcade games to the groundbreaking energy of early Image comics. It’s a no-holds-barred nostalgic action adventure!”
For those of you lucky enough to be attending San Diego Comic-Con this week, Kirkham can be found at Artist Alley booth 5012.
