Absolute Pokémon Meets The Boys in Creature Corps #1 by Curt Pires and JOK, launching from Image Comics in December 2026

Curt Pires of Fireborn and Lost Fantasy, and JOK of 51 and In Hell We Fight are launching a new comic book series from Image Comics in Creature Corps #1, described as Pokémon meets The Boys, on Wednesday, the 2nd of December, and in the upcoming Image solicits. Oh, and it even has an Absolute Batman cover too…

“In 1999, time broke and the Calamity Creatures arrived. Creatures from a desolate tomorrow, it took mankind no time to start battling them, and even less time for it to turn into the largest for profit sporting event since the UFC: Creature Corps. Dusty Gotem was 14 years old when he became Creature Corps world champion… and then walked away in disgust. Seventeen years later, he’s in hiding—until a time quake strikes and leaves his mother injured with massive medical bills. There’s only one way to save her: reunite his team and become the Creature Corps world champion again. Let the games begin.”

“I’m beyond grateful that retailers and readers made Fireborn one of the biggest books of the spring, and now I’m ecstatic to be back at Image Comics with Creature Corps to lay claim to the winter,” said Curt Pires. “This is a big, bold, audacious idea that unites ’90s nostalgia with deconstructionist satirical insanity. And we’ve got it all: a giant-sized first issue for just $4.99, a TCG component, and a stunning array of covers from industry-leading artists. Creature Corps is just getting started. Jump aboard.” Absolutely….
