Escape #9
(W) Rick Remender (A) Daniel Acuña
History begins small — in a broken home, in lies, in fear, a man pushed to insanity — and grows outward. Once small weeds invade other gardens, and choke every green thing with its thorns. The choices of one man, trapped in a nightmare, will shape the world to come.
Coming August 28 from LRG Games, Skybound‘s Invincible, The Walking Dead, Birthright, and Excellence are coming to decks and tabletop with the OverPower TCG: Skybound set. It’s the biggest set the company has shipped since bringing OverPower back, and the first time the 30-year-old game has had a wide retail push since the original Marvel/DC era ended.
Skybound brings 36 new playable characters into the Modern format and slots in cleanly alongside Legacy decks for players who’ve been around since the beginning. As with every OverPower release, the cards are full-art from household names including Jae Lee, Joe Jusko, Marc Silvestri, Philip Tan, and Adam Kubert.
Marking OverPower’s widest retail release in over 30 years, this set will be available at local gaming and comic book stores in the US and Canada — as well as over 900 Best Buy and 1800 GameStop locations nationwide. The game saw a pre-release reveal during San Diego Comic-Con and Gen Con earlier this summer.
We have an exclusive reveal of five cards from the set featuring Negan and Maggie from The Walking Dead, Invincible, and more! The cards feature art by David Finch, Ryan Ottley, Andrei Bressan, Daniel Acuña, and Adam Kubert.
MILTON is alive but only because good men paid the ultimate price. A coded radio transmission offers his first real shot at hope but LIEUTENANT COLONEL KLAUS REINHARDT is on his heels, forcing MILTON to choose between escape and the people who saved him.

Escape Vol. 1
(W) Rick Remender (A) Daniel Acuña
SHOT DOWN. HUNTED. OUT OF TIME.
Set in a brutal, fully painted world of anthropomorphic animals — equal parts Inglourious Basterds and Watership Down — ESCAPE is a gritty, bullet-riddled journey through war’s scorched aftermath. It’s about the violence we inflict, the souls we try to save, and the courage it takes to crawl out of fire.
From the creative team of New York Times bestselling author RICK REMENDER (DEADLY CLASS, Uncanny X-Force) and powerhouse DANIEL ACUÑA (Captain America, Black Panther) — the duo behind Marvel’s Uncanny Avengers — comes a savage, full-throttle wartime thriller where survival isn’t given… it’s taken.
Milton Shaw is a battle-hardened bomber pilot, flying missions over a war-torn world ruled by a ruthless empire. But when his plane is shot out of the sky, Milton wakes up behind enemy lines — in the smoldering ruins of a city he helped burn. And in less than 24 hours, his own side is dropping the big one to finish the job.
Now, injured, unarmed, and being hunted through enemy streets, Milton’s only shot at escape comes from the unlikeliest place: a grieving father and his son — civilians shattered by the same fascist regime that rules this land with an iron claw. Enemies by blood. Allies by circumstance. Together, they’ll have to fight their way out before the bomb drops and erases everything… and everyone.
Collects ESCAPE #1-6.
Reservoir Dogs collides with Evil Dead in a filthy crime story that mutates into a savage splatter-horror nightmare from New York Times bestselling author Rick Remender and acclaimed artist Steve Epting, with colors by Matt Hollingsworth, in the upcoming Hammerfist. This all-new ongoing series is set to launch this August from Image Comics.
Hammerfist will launch with a lineup of jaw-dropping variant covers by such superstar artists as Jerome Opeña, Nic Klein, Dan Panosian, Daniel Acuña, Andrew Robinson, and more as well as a blank sketch cover and a special foil-treated version of Robinson’s cover art.
In Hammerfist, readers meet Mike Denton: a dirtbag hitman, junkie, and absentee father. He’s spent his life chasing the easy fix—drugs, cheap sex, and murder for money—all while failing the one person who still believes he can be better: his daughter.
Now, on the eve of Black Noon—an ancient darkness that erases the light in all things—Mike has to drag himself out of the gutter, awaken a supernatural weapon powered only by love, and fight his way through the living embodiment of evil to save her. This is the story of an unredeemable killer forced to do the one thing he’s avoided his entire life: stand for something other than himself.
Hammerfist #1 will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, August 26.
Uncanny Avengers duo Rick Remender and Daniel Acuña introduce readers to a brutal, fully painted world of anthropomorphic animals in the upcoming graphic novel military thriller, Escape, Vol. 1 hitting shelves this Spring from Image Comics.
Escape follows Milton Shaw, a battle-hardened bomber pilot flying missions over a war-torn world ruled by a ruthless empire. But when his plane is shot out of the sky, Milton wakes up behind enemy lines—in the smoldering ruins of a city he helped burn. And in less than 24 hours, his own side is dropping the big one to finish the job.
Now injured, unarmed, and being hunted through enemy streets, Milton’s only shot at escape comes from the unlikeliest place: a grieving father and his son—civilians shattered by the same fascist regime that rules this land with an iron claw. Enemies by blood. Allies by circumstance. Together, they’ll have to fight their way out before the bomb drops and erases everything…and everyone.
Perhaps best described as Inglourious Basterds meets Blacksad or Maus, this gritty, bullet-riddled journey through war’s scorched aftermath is about the violence we inflict, the souls we try to save, and the courage it takes to crawl out of fire.
Escape, Vol. 1 trade paperback (ISBN: 9781534333147, Lunar Code 0126IM0467) will be available at local comic book shops on Wednesday, May 27 and independent bookstores, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, Indigo, and Waterstones on Tuesday, June 23.
Captured and surrounded, Milton Shaw’s final mission begins. But when the walls come down, so does the lie… because getting caught was never the plan.

Captured and surrounded, Milton Shaw’s final mission begins. But when the walls come down, so does the lie… because getting caught was never the plan.

The wreckage is still smoldering. As enemy soldiers tighten their grip on a devastated village, Milton must risk everything to stop a weapon that could change the course of the war. But inside these broken walls, not everyone is ready to fight again.
