Bestselling writer Curt Pires (Fireborn, Lost Fantasy) and rising star artist JOK (51, In Hell We Fight) team up for an all-new ongoing series in the upcoming, Creature Corps. This action-packed new comic was first announced last week via an exclusive scoop at IGN and will launch in December from Image Comics.
Creature Corps promises readers a fresh and irreverent remix of ’90s creature-battling paired with the sharp, ultra-violent satire of The Boys.
In 1999, time broke and the Calamity Creatures arrived. Creatures from a desolate tomorrow, it took mankind no time to start battling them, and even less time for it to turn into the largest for profit sporting event since the UFC: Creature Corps.
Dusty Gotem was 14 years old when he became Creature Corps world champion… and then walked away in disgust. Seventeen years later, he’s in hiding—until a time quake strikes and leaves his mother injured with massive medical bills.
There’s only one way to save her: reunite his team, and become Creature Corps world champion again. Let the games begin.
“I’m beyond grateful that retailers and readers made Fireborn one of the biggest books of the spring, and now I’m ecstatic to be back at image comics with Creature Corps to lay claim to the winter,” said Pires. “This is a big bold audacious idea that unites ’90s nostalgia with deconstructionist satirical insanity. And we’ve got it all: a giant sized first issue for just $4.99, a TCG component, and a stunning array of covers from industry leading artists. Creature Corps is just getting started. Jump aboard.”
