Tom Hardy, Scott Snyder, Frank Tieri, and Ryan Smallman’s Arcbound is coming to comic shops in November from Dark Horse Comics.
In a future where Earth has become a barren wasteland, Zynitec harnesses the unmatched energy of Kronium to assert its dominion across the stars. When Kai, a rising star Mediator in Zynitec’s army, gets an unexplained message from a mysterious entity, everything he thinks he believes is thrown into question, leaving him to explore what it truly means to be human in a world where the boundaries of technology and identity blur.
Tom Hardy (yes, that Tom Hardy) serves as a creative collaborator on the project.
“I’ve always been drawn to the creative process in all aspects of storytelling–one of the biggest reasons I love comics is that the canvas is limitless, a vast expanse to explore the human condition, character depth, and boundless realms, all only limited by our collective imagination. It’s an honor to work alongside such legends as Scott, Frank, and Ryan in helping to bring the Arcbound universe to life,” said Hardy in a press release from Dark Horse Comics.
In the same release, writer Scott Snyder said, “I’ve been lucky enough throughout my career to work with some of the biggest, most inventive talents in the industry. So when I was given the opportunity to work with Frank Tieri, Ryan Smallman, and, of course, Tom Hardy, I jumped at it. These are all creators that have an innate understanding of how characters tick and what makes their narratives sing across all kinds of media. Getting to craft a brand new universe with such immense creative voices is beyond a treat for me, and I can’t wait to share what we’ve been crafting this past year with all of you. ARCBOUND is going to blow you away!”
Arcbound is a twelve-issue series that kicks off on November 13, 2024, with a cover price of $4.99.
