Robert Kirkman, the creator of The Walking Dead, is teaming up with artist Rob Liefeld (Deadpool) for a new action-packed science fiction comic book series The Infinite, which is due out in August from Kirkman’s Skybound imprint at Image Comics. 

 

Kirkman told USA Today that, after spending the past few years writing about zombies, superheroes, and dinosaurs, he was excited to try his hand at a science fiction story.  The Infinite is a time-traveling epic set in a future world, which has been destroyed by time-traveling villain. The hero of The Infinite is a soldier, who travels back in time and teams up with his 19-year-old self to defeat The Infinite and forestall the destruction of the world, in a high concept saga that Liefeld described as “a buddy movie with yourself.”
