Antioch: A Lost King and His Mission to Save the Planet

Image Comics has revealed a new ongoing series from the creators of Frontiersman titled Antioch. The new series promises fast-paced and high-stakes as writer Patrick Kindlon and artist Marco Ferrari join forces once again to tell the story of a lost king from another world who enters the world of man to save our planet from ourselves.

The official description of Antioch reads:

“Antioch follows a king from a lost continent who enters the world of man with a purpose: to stop us from killing the planet. But when he finds himself in a superhuman prison, his title is useless and his powers only matter if they help him survive!”

In an exclusive announcement with CBR, Kindlon says that fans of Frontiersman have plenty to be excited about as this is a continuation of his story but with another character taking the lead:

“Fans of Frontiersman get excited! This is a direct continuation of his story. But he’s not the lead character here. That position belongs to a buff royal who smashes, crushes, and rips! While Frontiersman was inspired by thought-filled books like Concrete, this series goes in its own direction and borrows from 90s anime OVAs! If you’ve missed antiheroes with chips on their broad shoulders, look no further!”

Ferrari adds:

“Antioch takes what we did on Frontiersman and turns it to 11. This series has a protagonist who is fed up and willing to go to war with the world. Villains are oversized and around every corner. Everything about this book is big.” 

Antioch #1 will be available at your favorite local comic shops and digitally on September 7th, 2022. Check out the preview below:
