Herobear and the Kid Returns with First New Series in a Decade

Even after lengthy breaks, the good works manage to resurface with new stories. There's usually a publisher for those good stories and when that publisher knows what they're doing with said stories, things get better for everyone. KaBOOM! Studios plans to do just that, as they're publishing the first original limited series in over a decade in Herobear and the Kid: Saving Time #1. The new, five-issue limited series will feature covers by Kunkel that will connect into one giant Herobear and the Kid image.

“We are extremely proud and excited to debut the first, new HEROBEAR AND THE KID comics series in over 10 years,” said BOOM! Studios Editor-in-Chief Matt Gagnon. “Mike is a one-of-a-kind creator, and SAVING TIME is a beautiful story that will please longtime fans and new readers alike.”

Tyler and Herobear are back in an all-new original adventure! We’ve been waiting to see these two back in action and we’re looking forward to see what shenanigans these two get up to in SAVING TIME, the first new Herobear series in over 10 years. Henry, the family’s magical butler, is missing!! It’s up to Tyler and Herobear to figure out what happened to their friend—only they might learn a lot more about Henry than they initially thought and be forced to get help from an unsuspected source.

Herobear and the Kid: Saving Time #1 arrives in comic shops on April 23rd with a cover price of $3.99 under Diamond order code FEB141078. The first issue will ship with two, retailer incentive variant covers by industry favorites Humberto Ramos and George Pérez. Full press release below.
