Tech Jacket Returns
Joe Keatings and Khary Randolph are a busy couple of guys.

Tech Jacket) into an ongoing print series with a July 2014 release. In celebration of launching the new series, Image Comics will be offering an exclusive discount on Comixology. Get issues of Tech Jacket and associated Skybound series Invincible Universe, Guardians of the Globe, Science Dog, The Astounding Wolf-Man and more for only $0.99, with collections up to 50% off.

“After the success of the miniseries, Skybound was excited to get more Tech Jacket out there and with Khary on board, I’m on board,” said Keatinge. “Whether or not people read the past series, the DIGITAL miniseries, or none of it, they’re in for what’s going to be the biggest scale science-fiction series I’ve worked on yet. Extremely excited to do so with Khary, Robert Kirkman, and company!”
“This project is a dream come true for me,” added Randolph. “Working with Joe, Robert Kirkman, and the rest of the Skybound family has been a blast and I’m sure the fans will see how much fun we are having on this series. If you like action, adventure and excitement then you will love TECH JACKET."
