Dark Horse Comics has announced a new series from Robert Venditti (Superman ’78, Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps) and Brockton McKinney (Jenny Zero), with interior art and cover art by Dalts Dalton, color by Geraldo Filho (Jenny Zero II) and lettering by Micah Myers (Youth, It’s Only Teenage Wasteland) titled Savage Squad 6. The four-issue series launches June 28th in comic book shops.
“Brock and I have been writing together for years, and we’ve been friends even longer,” says writer Robert Venditti. “For the first McDitti collaboration, we wanted to bring all the fun and abandon of ‘80s-‘90s action films to comics. Savage Squad 6 is everything we love about explosive firefights, impossible odds, and heroes who never say die.”
