TOM HARDY, SCOTT SNYDER, FRANK TIERI, AND RYAN SMALLMAN’S SCI-FI SERIES “ARCBOUND” COMES TO DARK HORSE
Dark Horse Comics and Arcbound Studios present Arcbound, the much-anticipated sci-fi comic series from Scott Snyder, Frank Tieri, Tom Hardy, and Ryan Smallman. Arcbound marks Hardy’s first foray into comics as he joins the team as a creative collaborator. Snyder (Barnstormers, Clear) and Tieri (Titans: Beast World Tour: Atlantis, Godzilla: Here There Be Dragons) will write the series with illustrations by Smallman and colors by Frank William. The first issue will also feature variant cover art by Dan Panosian, Clay Mann, Tyler Kirkham, Rose Besch (1:10 retailer incentive variant), and Ryan Ottley (1:25 retailer incentive variant).
Here’s what the creative team had to say about Arcbound:
Scott Snyder: “I’ve been lucky enough throughout my career to work with some of the biggest, most inventive talents in the industry. So when I was given the opportunity to work with Frank Tieri, Ryan Smallman, and, of course, Tom Hardy, I jumped at it. These are all creators that have an innate understanding of how characters tick and what makes their narratives sing across all kinds of media. Getting to craft a brand new universe with such immense creative voices is beyond a treat for me, and I can’t wait to share what we’ve been crafting this past year with all of you. ARCBOUND is going to blow you away!”
Frank Tieri: “Working with Tom, Scott and Ryan… Well, Arcbound has pretty much assembled a dream team for this project and it’s a thrill to be part of it. The world building’s been fun, we’ve got some cool plans for the current series and for the future… and we’ve all had a blast doing it. And I think it really shows in the work.”
Tom Hardy: “I’ve always been drawn to the creative process in all aspects of storytelling–one of the biggest reasons I love comics is that the canvas is limitless, a vast expanse to explore the human condition, character depth, and boundless realms, all only limited by our collective imagination. It’s an honor to work alongside such legends as Scott, Frank, and Ryan in helping to bring the Arcbound universe to life.”
Ryan Smallman: “Creating an entirely new universe along with this roster of talent has been the most fulfilling project of my career so far. Getting the chance to lend my style to Scott and Frank’s creative vision and worldbuilding along with Tom’s sensibility for characters has been a recipe for a truly special series. Everyone has been bringing their A game to make this the absolute best book it can be and I’m so proud of the work we’ve done!”
Nick Rose, CEO of Arcbound Studios: “I’m beyond excited to build not just this book, but an entire universe alongside some of the greatest storytellers from across mediums. Working with such a talented and diverse team allows us to create a rich, immersive world that transcends traditional storytelling. We’re crafting something truly special, with the thrilling potential to leap off the pages and come to life in film and other media. I can’t wait for fans to experience this epic journey.”
