Well this was a fun treat to see in the back of my issue of Sweets #4 this week! In news that is sure to make fans of comics all over the country, we now have our “first look” at Nick Spencer and Robert Kirkman’s upcoming book for Skybound, Kirkman’s Image imprint. While details are scarce at the moment, we do have the notes from the Skybound press release from last year:
Kirkman recently secured the second exclusive SKYBOUND Original, Thief of Thieves, a collaboration between Kirkman and writer Nick Spencer (best known for his critically- acclaimed Image series Existence 2.0, Forgetless, and the upcoming Morning Glories). Thief of Thieves tells the story of Conrad Paulson, the world’s greatest thief, who has set his sights on his own kind. He vows to steal only what’s already been stolen, in an effort to right the great wrongs of his life. But he may be too late for redemption.
This has been in place for a while, and now that Nick Spencer is the red hot writer of newcomers in 2010 this is sure to burn the internet up. I can only assume two things: 1) this will be coming out relatively soon and 2) it will be awesome. We’ll update the post with a better resolution image when there is one.
