You don't have to look far to find an action-oriented comic book. But what if just any old action story won't do? What if you crave truly excessive amounts of blood and violence? That's a niche creator Tyler Kirkham aims to fill with his new Image Comics series Final Boss, a book that's billed as equal parts BRZRKR and DC K.O.
With Final Boss #1 hitting stores soon, IGN can debut a new preview of the series. Check out the slideshow gallery below to see the previously revealed covers and interior pages from issue #1, along with exclusive new character designs, black and white pages, and covers to Final Boss #3:
Final Boss is written and drawn by Kirkham, whose previous superhero work includes Green Lantern, Phoenix: Warsong, and The Amazing Spider-Man. The book also features art contributions from Ifan Noor and David Miller, along with covers by Kirkham, Ryan Ottley, V. Ken Marion, and Jae Lee. Here's the official logline for Final Boss #1:
From the dynamic creator and artist, Tyler Kirkham (Amazing Spider-Man, Green Lantern), comes an action-packed new series in the upcoming ongoing, Final Boss. The premiere issue will boast variant covers by such fan-favorite artists as: V. Ken Marion, Ryan Ottley, Jae Lee, and Kirkham himself. Prepare for this over-the-top adventure that's a high-octane nod to classic action stories. Trying to forge a new path, Tommy Brazen uses his newfound powers for various paid enforcer gigs and street fights, only to uncover a past far more complex than he ever imagined.
"This is your fix. FIGHT. POWER-UP. REPEAT," Kirkham tells IGN. "FINAL BOSS has the drama, the depth, and the VIOLENCE you've been waiting for!"
Final Boss #1 will be released on November 19. You can preorder a copy at your local comic shop.
Kirkham's past work is also being celebrated in the art book The Marvel Art of Tyler Kirkham.
