Perfect for fans of Invincible and the most acclaimed eras of X-Men, Terminal is the most violent and unpredictable superhero series on shelves. The murderers’ row of creators—Kirkman, Casey, Kubert, Adams and Finch—have each redefined superhero comics in their own right, and their powerful storytelling is on full display in Terminal. With a full creative team including inker Sandra Hope (Flashpoint), colorist Dave McCaig (The Walking Dead Deluxe), and letterer Rus Wooton (Transformers), Terminal is a superhero series with twists no one will expect.
“This is one of the coolest comics ever made from the coolest creative teams in comics,” mused writer Robert Kirkman. “I’ll be surprised if we’re not announcing the 3rd printing of issue #1 before I finish typing this quote!”
“It’s really gratifying to see the early response to a book we’ve all worked so hard on for so long,” remarked writer Joe Casey. “Now we can add Rick Leonardi to the list of legendary artists we’re bringing aboard the Terminal train. And this is only the first issue — it only gets better from here!”
In Terminal #1, a secret war is being waged across the world by two violent forces with superhuman abilities who blur the lines between good and evil.
When Marilyn Howe’s search for her missing sister Alessandra puts her in the center of this conflict, she’ll learn that the power to save the world comes from unlocking your genetic code and giving up everything you thought you knew about yourself…if you survive the experience.
“I’m so happy and excited that Terminal has been received this well to be awarded a second printing on our first issue!!” exclaimed artist Andy Kubert. “After working on it for the last few years, fans are finally getting to see all the passion that Robert, Joe, Dave, Rus, Alex, and I have put into it. The best is yet to come!”
