WILD’S END Begins Again at BOOM! Studios in June 2023

The award-winning creative team of Dan Abnett (Warhammer 40K) and I.N.J. Culbard (Tales from the Umbrella Academy: You Look Like Death) journey once again to an alien occupied England where anthropomorphic citizens fight off the interstellar invaders in Wild’s End.

Out at sea during the invasion, our intimate crew of unlucky voyagers returns to a world they once knew, now occupied by an invading alien force! 

For the first time since 2018, BOOM! Studios returns to an anthropomorphic England with a new cast of characters in the series’ canon. New readers and old readers alike will love this new jumping off point for the cult classic series which has been described as War of the Worlds meets Wind in the Willows.

He is a regular contributor to the UK’s long-running 2000AD, and also writes extensively for the games industry.  In collaboration with I.N.J. Culbard, they have produced the acclaimed series Brink, The New Deadwardians, and Wild’s End.Dan lives and works in Maidstone, Kent, in the UK.

“Ian and I are regular partners-in-crime, and I’m delighted to be returning to BOOM! Studios with him to create a new chapter of our all-time favourite collaboration, Wild’s End,” said Abnett

“With Dan Abnett and I.N.J. Culbard at the helm, every part of the Wild’s End journey is a pleasure–even the parts that give you the creeps, shock you, or make you cry. Readers should get ready to fall in love with the new cast, then worry about their safety non-stop for months,” said series editor, Kathleen Wisneski.
