Kirkman & Moore’s BATTLE POPE Returns

Today Skybound and Image Comics announced the Battle Pope 25th Anniversary HC from the superstar creative team of visionary Robert Kirkman (The Walking Dead, Invincible) and acclaimed artist Tony Moore (Punisher), collecting their iconic series in one collection for the very first time. Readers worldwide can CALL BATTLE POPE once again in September 2025. 

“I swear we had this planned months ago! Full disclosure, we did try to time this announcement around the conclave but it happened so fast! And the first American Pope? Seems suspicious, right?” said Kirkman. “Well, regardless of all that, I couldn’t be more thrilled to see my earliest professional(ish) work collected in a deluxe and downright heavenly format! And Tony Moore came back to do a new cover, how cool is that? I can’t believe I’ve been in this business for a whole 25 years. I mean, I’m still having fun and all but man... it sure does make someone feel old. That someone is me!
