Oscar-nominated actor Tom Hardy will soon be making his comics debut with Arcbound, coming this fall from Dark Horse Comics. Deadline posted the exclusive announcement that the Venom and Mad Max star will be contributing to this new 12-issue epic sci-fi event—alongside New York Times bestselling-author Scott Snyder, comics titan Frank Tieri, and acclaimed artist Ryan Smallman.
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–and leaves him to explore what it truly means to be human in a world where the boundaries of technology and identity blur. An official interactive Arcbound website has been published where you can learn more about the series.
“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.”
