Arcbound: Tom Hardy Makes His Comics Debut in New Sci-Fi Epic

Tom Hardy may supposedly be done with the Venom movies, but never let it be said he isn't keeping busy. Hardy is poised to make his comic book debut soon with the release of Arcbound, a new sci-fi series from Dark Horse.

With the first issue of Arcbound due in stores soon, IGN can exclusively debut a new preview of the series. get a closer look in the slideshow gallery below:

Arcbound is a 12-issue series written by Scott Snyder (Absolute Batman) and Frank Tieri (Space Punisher), with contributions from Hardy. The series is illustrated by Ryan Smallman, with colors by Frank William and letters by Buddy Beaudoin. The first issue also features variant covers from Ryan Ottley, Clay Mann, Tyler Kirkham, Rose Besch, and Dan Panosian.

Here's Dark Horse's official description for Arcbound:

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.

Arcbound #1 will be released on November 13, 2024. You can preorder a digital copy on Amazon.
