Dark Horse Comics announced the May 2025 release of RoboWolf, an action-comedy mini-series that celebrates the over-the-top retro games and media of the ’80s and ’90s.
The four-issue mini-series is written and illustrated (and coloring and lettering) by Jake Smith.
RoboWolf and his crew of bank-robbing criminals are in a race against time to get a fat stack of stolen money to the villainous Colonel Massacre, who has kidnapped RoboWolf’s daughter for ransom! The Colonel’s not the only one with an eye on the money, however, as our heroes will have to use their combined skills to tear through an onslaught of bloodthirsty cannibals, ninjas, robots, and more.
“Dark Horse publishing a book like RoboWolf is such a testament to how much they value pure, comic book fun. When I told them, ‘Hey, it’s a bank-robbing cyborg wolf man with machine guns,’ they were like, ‘Cool. We’re all in.’ They are the publisher that comic creators lie awake dreaming about working with.
The level of pure joy I’m feeling in anticipation for comic readers to get their hands on RoboWolf is something I’ve never felt before! The book encapsulates everything that comics represent to me: panel-popping action, characters that we can fall in love with, and a celebration of the medium oozing from every page! I hope fans feel the same when the book is finally released!”
RoboWolf #1 arrives on May 21, 2025, and will have a $4.99 cover price.
