Tom Hardy’s Sci-Fi Comic Book Series ‘Arcbound’ To Be Released By Dark Horse Comics, Launch Date Revealed; Team Aiming To Build Arcbound Universe

EXCLUSIVE: Sin City, Hellboy and Umbrella Academy publisher Dark Horse Comics has come aboard to release Tom Hardy‘s debut comic book series, Arcbound.

Hardy teamed up with comic book vets Scott Snyder, known for the Batman and Justice League comics, Frank Tieri, and Ryan Smallman on the project, which is due to launch in shops November 13 of this year.

The official logline for the Arcbound Studios series reads: “In a future where Earth has become a barren wasteland, Zynitec harnesses the unmatched energy of Kronium to assert its dominion across the stars. When Kai, a rising star Mediator in Zynitec’s army, gets an unexplained message from a mysterious entity, everything he thinks he believes is thrown into question, leaving him to explore what it truly means to be human in a world where the boundaries of technology and identity blur.”

Venom and The Dark Knight Rises star Hardy is aboard as a “creative collaborator”. Snyder and Tieri are writers with illustrations by Smallman and colors by Frank William.

Arcbound Studios CEO Nick Rose explained that the team want to grow an Arcbound universe, which could also comprise films and other media: “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.”

Tom Hardy commented: “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.”
