After Invincible, Robert Kirkman has teamed up with Joe Casey, Andy Kubert, David Finch & Arthur Adams, for the launch of Terminal, an all-new superhero universe that promises to be one of the comic book events of 2026.
There’s not many names in comics quite as ubiquitous as Robert Kirkman. One of the five core partners on the Image Comics Board of Directors, Kirkman is the esteemed creator of some of indie comics’ most famous titles, such as The Walking Dead and Invincible. Whatever he touches tends to be a massive hit — not only on the page, but also on our screens.
Despite Invincible being one of the most celebrated super universes in pop culture, Kirkman is teaming up with several other fan-favourite creators to usher in an all-new series called Terminal. This series marks Kirkman’s first return to the superhero genre since Invincible. Described as the ‘most violent and unpredictable’ comic of the year, Terminal sees Kirkman collaborate with superstar writer Joe Casey (Uncanny X-Men, Wildcats), alongside artists Andy Kubert (X-Men, Batman), David Finch (Ultimate X-Men, Batman), and Arthur Adams (X-Men), colorist Dave McCaig (The Walking Dead Deluxe), and letterer Rus Wooton (TRANSFORMERS).
The official synopsis for Terminal reads:
There is a secret war being waged across the world by two violent forces with superhuman abilities who blur the lines between good and evil. When Marilyn Howe’s search for her missing sister Alessandra puts her in the center of this conflict, she’ll learn that the power to save the world comes from unlocking your genetic code and giving up everything you thought you knew about yourself…if you survive the experience.
For the launch of Terminal #1, the star-studded lineup of variant covers is extremely impressive, featuring variants from Frank Miller (Daredevil), Bill Sienkiewicz (The New Mutants), and Rob Liefeld (Youngblood), as well as series artists Andy Kubert (X-Men, Batman), David Finch (Ultimate X-Men, Batman), and Arthur Adams (X-Men).
“It doesn’t matter which cover you choose, they’re all drawn by legends!” said Alex Antone, Editorial Director at Skybound. “Are you an Adams? Are you a Finch? Are you a flippin’ Frank Miller? There’s something for everyone – might as well grab ‘em all!”
