Robert Kirkman and Lorenzo De Felici’s science fiction series Oblivion Song is ending with issue #36. Kirkman revealed it would be ending in the Oblivion Song #30 letters page, out today. Oblivion Song #31 will release this June, and with the series concluding with issue #36 the series will likely have its final issue release in November barring any delays.
As Kirkman says in the letters page, the project has been nearing a natural endpoint with issue #36. “When we conceived of this series, I thought of it as a trilogy of 12-issue arcs. Looking back, you can see the time jumps between #12 and #13, as well as #24 and #25, marked definitive chapter breaks along the way. That was by design.”

The series was launched back in March 2018 and has had development under Universal Pictures. We spoke at length with Kirkman about the project back in 2018 which revealed his approach going into the project. Oblivion Song #30 (Diamond Code OCT200217) is available now at comic book shops.
