Just a quick update on THE FORGED.

As of ten minutes ago, I submitted my final batch of writing on the final issue, #15. This marks, for me, the end of major creative work on the title now that we've hit the planned end of the story.

The release date for the final 6 issues hasn't been determined yet, but I'll announce that when I have the informatiojn.

It's been a fun ride. Gonna miss these ladies.

IN STORES TOMORROW

The comic that inspired the hit Netflix movie starring Charlize Theron, THE OLD GUARD is the story of old soldiers who never die...and yet cannot seem to fade away.

COLLECTION EDITED BY: Alejandro Arbona

Old soldiers never die...and some of them don't even fade away. Cursed with immortality, Andromache of Scythia and her comrades-in-arms ply their trade for those who can find-and afford-their services. But in the 21st century, being immortal is a difficult secret to keep, and when you live long enough, you learn that there are many fates far worse than death.

Hitting shelves in time for the release of The Old Guard 2 movie adaptation on Netflix! This hardcover collects the first two stories of Andy, Nile, Nicky, Joe, and Booker -- warriors who have, literally, stood the test of time. With never-before published extras, this collection is as immortal as Andromache of Scythia!

Collects THE OLD GUARD #1-5 & THE OLD GUARD: FORCE MULTIPLIED #1-5.
