Benito Cereno, E.J. Su, MSassyK, Rus Wooton, and Robert Kirkman deliver Blood & Thunder 13 on May 13, 2026 from Skybound and Image Comics. The issue kicks off a brand-new story arc.
Blood ends up in prison following the surprising conclusion of the previous issue. Without Thunder, her cantankerous talking gun, the galaxy’s most wanted woman needs new allies to escape an impossible situation and shift the odds back in her favor.
The high-octane sci-fi action epic takes place in the far future where Earth has integrated alien species into society. This new order brought new laws, crimes, and dangers requiring specialized bounty hunters.
Akeldama “Blood” Bledsoe and Thunder rank among the galaxy’s best at tracking down the worst criminals. The series follows their adventures navigating this expanded universe filled with diverse threats and targets.
Cereno previously worked on Invincible Presents: Atom Eve. Su handled art duties on Tech Jacket. MSassyK colored Gotham Academy. Wooton letters Transformers. Kirkman co-created the series alongside his work on Invincible, The Walking Dead, and Void Rivals.
Four covers launch the new arc: E.J. Su and Dee Cunniffe main cover, Nick Roche and Josh Burcham open-to-order variant, Karen S. Darboe 1:10 incentive variant, and Pete Woods 1:25 incentive variant.
Digital editions release simultaneously on Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, and Google Play.
