Cartoon Network Enterprises and IDW have ganged up on Samurai Jack to create and distribute a monthly series of comic books based on the cult-favourite animated tale.
A feudal Samurai known only as Jack is pitted against the ancient demon wizard, Aku. Displaced in time, Jack was made to traverse a strange landscape of the future to find his way back to his own time.
“Samurai Jack is an irresistible mix of high adventure, comedy and mythic storytelling,” stated series writer Jim Zub (Skullkickers) who will be writing new stories that continue where the TV show finished. “I'm channelling my inner samurai to deliver a fun action-packed ride each and every issue.” Zub will be teaming with the character designer from the source material. “Returning to Samurai Jack is such a personal experience and labour of love for me,” remarked Andy Suriano. “It's like stepping through a time portal back to characters I know as friends and a world that really launched my animation career."
