Writer Curt Pires teams up with artist Jok to launch "Creature Corps," a gritty blend of Pokémon, The Boys, and Back to the Future that reimagines monster battles in a time‑shifted world.

Published by Image Comics, the debut issue of "Creature Corps" drops on December 2, 60 pages at $4.99. The series envisions a future where displaced creatures crash into the present, sparking an unethical battling league that profits from teenage trainers.

The narrative centers on Dusty Gotem, a 14‑year‑old world champion who leaves the trade after a devastating event. Years later, his former colleagues lure him back into the arena to face a new, even more perilous conflict—his mother is critically ill, drowning in medical debt.
