Luther Strode Celebrates 15 Years with Anniversary and Treasury Editions this October

Posted on by Leave a comment

The fan-favorite, cult-hit series, Luther Strode by Justin Jordan, Tradd Moore, and Felipe Sobreiro celebrates its fifteenth anniversary this year with two highly collectible new editions: an extra-length Luther Strode #1 Anniversary Edition and an over-sized Luther Strode #1 Anniversary Treasury Edition. Both will hit shelves this October from Image Comics.

The Luther Strode #1 Anniversary Edition will include the complete first issue of The Strange Talent of Luther Strode alongside an extensive art gallery showcasing action-packed highlights from all eras of the Luther Strode saga.

Plus, the Luther Strode #1 Anniversary Treasury Edition will shine a spotlight on Luther Strode as never before! Presented for the first time in an over-sized treasury edition on newsprint, this collector’s edition brings Luther back just in time to celebrate the fifteenth anniversary of The Strange Talent of Luther Strode #1.

High schooler Luther Strode was always a little bit less than average—soft-spoken, skinny, and, more than anything, terrified that his estranged father would one day return to torment him and his mother once more. But that ended the day that Luther discovered “The Method”—an improbably old text hidden between the comic books and ragged paperbacks at his favorite used bookstore. But The Method is far more than it seems—and, as its ancient techniques rework Luther’s body and unlock the strange talents buried deep within, he will find himself transformed into a near-perfect physical specimen imbued with incredible strength, startling new abilities…and a killer’s instinct for violence that he can’t quite seem to shake. When The Method’s masters arrive to observe Luther’s progress and draw him into action, he’ll be forced to make the ultimate choice: embrace the monster he was intended to be…or use his newfound power to protect the people—the classmates, the teachers, the neighbors—who never protected him when he needed them the most.

SDCC 2026: Oni Press Reveals Tradd Moore’s Touch Me Someplace Nowhere – Coming in 2027

Posted on by Leave a comment

In advance of Comic-Con International in San Diego 2026, Oni Press has announced Touch Me Someplace Nowhere – the first creator-owned solo series written, illustrated, and colored by Eisner Award-nominated cartoonist and visionary storyteller Tradd Moore. 

Set to begin publication in 2027, Touch Me Someplace Nowhere follows a cascading cast of outsiders through their turbulent, violent, and libidinous misadventures in an alternate New York City, where a colorful hierarchy of street gangs compete for domination and (literal) wild animals roam the streets. At its center: Kelly Muir, the prodigal child of a powerful New York City crime family, who is about to find herself on a self-immolating, lovesick bender through the exuberant nocturnal archipelagos of drug-infused, gangland Brooklyn after dark.

A native of Georgia and a graduate of the Savannah College of Art & Design, Tradd Moore marked his seismic arrival in the comics industry in 2011 as the artist of The Strange Talent Of Luther Strode (co-created with writer Justin Jordan) at Image Comics, launching one of the decade’s most unexpected breakout hits and instantly cementing his status as one of the decade’s most unique and closely watched sequential storytellers. In 2014, Moore made his Marvel Comics debut as the artist of All-New Ghost Rider, introducing the new hero Robbie Reyes (with writer and co-creator Felipe Smith) to bestseller status and widespread critical accolades. After completing the Luther Strode trilogy with the two subsequent installments for Image, Moore would go on to helm multiple groundbreaking, visually arresting series, including Silver Surfer: Black (with writer Donny Cates) in 2019 and Doctor Strange: Fall Sunrise in 2023 – which would mark Moore’s stunning first foray as both writer and artist and earn his first Eisner Award nomination. 

Touch Me Someplace Nowhere will be Moore’s first wholly creator-owned solo work as both writer and illustrator. 

Beginning on Wednesday, July 22nd, Moore will also be appearing as special guest of Oni Press at Comic-Con International in San Diego and will appear on his first-ever career retrospective spotlight panel with complete timing and details to be announced next week. Additionally, Moore will also be appearing for two signings at the Oni Press booth (#1829), where an exclusive, 9×12″ Touch Me Someplace Nowhere art print (limited to 500) will be given away to attendees while supplies last. 

More details on Touch Me Someplace Nowhere will be released in 2027.

Escape #1 Gets a Fourth Printing

Posted on by

The debut issue of hot new series Escape—by Uncanny Avengers duo Rick Remender and Daniel Acuña—has sold out yet again at the distributor level. Escape #1 is being rushed back to print this week by Image Comics in order to keep up with reorder activity.

Set in a brutal, fully painted world of anthropomorphic animals—think Inglourious Basterds meets Blacksad—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.

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.

Escape #1, fourth printing (Lunar Code 1025IM8147), Escape #5 Cover A by Acuña (Lunar Code 1025IM0326), and Escape #5 Cover B 1:15 copy incentive by Tradd Moore (Lunar Code 1025IM0327) will all be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, December 31.
