Founded in 2017, TKO was intended as “the first modern comic book company,” releasing their first two waves of titles as single-issues, in box sets, or as trade paperbacks on the same day. They exist independently of the single market, with retailers and readers able to order print copies directly from their website. (Their titles are also available digitally.) These mark the first new titles announced by TKO since 2018. A film version of Roxane Gay, Ming Doyle, and Jordie Bellaire’s “The Banks,” written by Gay herself, is also in the works.
