A sneak peek at CREATURE CORPS
A new series by Curt Pires (Lost Fantasy, Fireborn) is dropping from Image Comics in December, featuring 51 collaborator Jok (The Body Trade) on interiors. In addition to this massive 60-page Giant-Sized First Issue, a trading card game is also in the works.
Prepare for fantastical creatures pitted against one another, hitting your shelves on December 12th, 2026
Writer: Curt Pires
Artist: Jok
Letterer: Micah Myers
The mysterious animals soon fuel an unethical creature battling league that generates unprecedented profit, often using teenage "trainers" to manage the time-displaced fighters. One of those trainers was Dusty Rockem, who ascended to World Champion when he was 14. A devastating event forced Gotem to leave the trade in disgust, leaving him to seek solace in the wilderness. Years later, Gotem's former colleagues seek him out with news of a much more devastating battle: Gotem's mother lies in critical condition drowning in medical bills, forcing him to rejoin the trade—and the chronological refugees—he hasn't faced for decades.
"I'm excited to be reunited with my dear collaborator Jok and my friends at Image Comics on my biggest launch yet," explains co-creator and writer Pires. "Creature Corps is equal parts 16-bit gaming nostalgia, the dark deconstructionism of The Boys, and the time travel insanity of Back To The Future in equal measure. It's a chaotic menagerie of comic book magic that feels uniquely its own. Did I mention we're doing a trading card game too? This is gonna be fun."
