A direct successor to the masters Frank Frazetta and Moebius, Ribić is known around the world for the lush, painterly style and cinematic visual storytelling that earned him an Eisner-nomination for Marvel's Eternals and universal acclaim for his work helming Thor: God of Thunder and Secret Wars.

Frank QUITELY, Alex MALEEV, Derek KOLSTAD & Robert VENDITTI Unleash The Comic Of The Summer -- WARBIRD!

WARBIRD is THE comic of the summer.

It's tearing into a comic shop near you this AUGUST!

All-Star Superman's FRANK QUITELY.
Daredevil's @alexmaleev
John Wick's DEREK KOLSTAD.
Ordained's ROBERT VENDITTI.
Conan the Barbarian's DEAN WHITE.
JORGE FORNES, MICHAEL CHO, J.G. JONES...

A legends-only roster of comic greats has been assembled to unleash a globe-spanning action/spy thriller that will keep you hanging on to the edge of your seat.

And we're just getting started.

[BAD IDEA @badideahello]

But who could possibly follow up the G.O.A.T. and take up the mantle as WARBIRD's interior artist?

There was only one artist for the job. Enter ALEX MALEEV.

Known for his seminal work on DAREDEVIL, with frequent collaborator Brian Michael Bendis, which became the visual template for the hit Netflix television adaptation, Maleev almost never ventures outside of the big two.

After collaborating on a series of gorgeous painted covers for Robert Venditti's best-selling series ORDAINED, soon to be adapted for film by Derek Kolstad, Alex Maleev is now suiting up to take on interior art for Derek & Robert's blistering new blockbuster.

Finally, the chance to get murdered by a reader with your own book.
But they forgot you've also received your comps, so a knife comic book fight to dead begins!

The Hab starts with the end of the world…
