Skybound X #2

Celebrating 10 years of Skybound storytelling, this 2021 anthology issue features new chapters from Birthright, Everyday Hero Machine Boy, Stillwater, and more — with the headline strip being "Rick Grimes 2000: Chapter 2," written by Robert Kirkman with art by Ryan Ottley, inks by Cliff Rathburn, and colors by Dave McCaig. Cliff Rathburn's cover sets the tone perfectly: a green-suited, cybernetically armed Rick Grimes stands defiantly over a fallen enemy amid flames and shambling undead, a blonde companion at his side firing a futuristic weapon, all overshadowed by a massive, looming skull-faced dark entity above them. It's a wildly energetic sci-fi reinvention that captures exactly the kind of bold, genre-blending storytelling Skybound has built its reputation on.
