Quantcast

This September 2017, Samurai Jack is making his triumphant return to the comic world courtesy of IDW Publishing. Leading this all-new series is writer Fabian Rangel Jr. (Namwolf) and artist Warwick Johnson Cadwell (Tank Girl). Following their work on the critically acclaimed Helena Crash, the pair are teaming up once more.

Quantum Jack promises to show the iconic samurai like we’ve never seen him before. After an accident with an experimental Quantum Ray, Jack is sent hurtling into one alternate reality after another, his memories erased, but his spirit intact. Seeing Jack as the leader of a ruthless biker gang of bounty hunters is just the beginning of this twisted nightmare.

“I’m beyond thrilled to be working on new Samurai Jack comics. Samurai Jack is a huge influence on my storytelling, and on Helena Crash especially. I think fans of the show will dig what Warwick and I have been cooking up!” said Rangel Jr.

Samurai Jack has been an inspiration and constant source of encouragement for me since I first saw it, in terms of art, narrative, and just plain enjoyment. It’s fantastic to be able to work on and I hope our love for the show will come through in what Fabian and I are doing here,” added Cadwell.

Along with Cadwell’s highly stylized art, artists Michael Avon Oeming, Alexis Zirritt, and Samurai Jack creator Genndy Tartakovsky, will all be providing cover art for the debut issue.

IDW’s Samurai Jack comics will return this September bringing a new time stream and new versions of Jack with it.
