Earlier today, BOOM! Studios put out a mysterious teaser image for an upcoming series (see here). We have just discovered that this new series is called Cold Space, and is set to be written by Samuel L. Jackson and Eric Calderon, the team behind Afro Samurai!

The series is a hard boiled science-fiction action-adventure that follows an on-the-run outlaw who crash-lands on a hostile planet on the brink of civil war, and finds himself caught in the crossfire between two warring factions. But in chaos lies opportunity… because where there’s war, there’s money to be made!

The artist on this series is Jeffrey Rock, and the cover artwork will be provided by Jeffrey Spokes and  Dave Johnson.
