Skybound Reveals Extended Preview of David & Maria Lapham’s GOOD AS DEAD

Skybound and Image Comics have unveiled a new look at interior pages from the all-new comic book series Good as Dead, from Eisner Award-winning comics icons David & Maria Lapham (Stray Bullets) and co-creators Chris Black (creator and showrunner, Monarch: Legacy of Monsters) and David Alpert.  

Set in the shadows of a seemingly quiet small town, Good as Dead is a simmering thriller packed with crime, justice, death, and long-buried secrets. The first issue of this haunting tale will debut in comic book shops on September 17, 2025. 

The Emissary Bridge has always connected the citizens of Port Lindon to hope and opportunity. But when one man shockingly sets himself on fire, the bridge now brings something else to the town--CERTAIN DEATH.  

Jack Kirby: The Man Who Dreamt the Impossible

Writer Mário Freitas and artist Lucas Pereira team up to pay tribute to the Jack Kirby legacy with a fictionalized tribute to the comics icon in the upcoming The Man Who Dreamt the Impossible. This treasury edition one-shot will hit shelves in August from Image Comics and is a must-read for any fan of pop culture history.

“This book is huge. In format. In scope. In ambition. Just like Jack did. But this is not a biography. It is more of a classic 'what if?' scenario: what if Jack Kirby had lived well beyond the age of 76? What if he had survived his Roz; if he had spent his last years in a care home, reunited with his old creative pals from the days of the ‘House of Ideas’ (a term so well spread by propaganda, as if American comics hadn't been a house of ideas since the days of McCay, King, or Herriman)," said Freitas. "It is, above all, a narrative corollary to the great strengths of Kirby's career: the complexity of human relations and the relentless pursuit of the impossible that lies hidden in the Cosmos. But different. Original. Just like Jack did.”
