LEGO and Skybound will announce the first comic book collaboration from their historic partnership at The Skybound Halloween Xpo on Oct. 29.
New details have emerged about LEGO’s first comic book from Skybound Entertainment.
Starting Friday, Oct. 29, Skybound Entertainment will be hosting The Skybound Halloween Xpo. Like previous Skybound Xpo virtual events, it will be available for fans to stream via Skybound’s YouTube and Twitch channels. LEGO will be announcing its first comic book collaboration with Skybound and AMEET Publishing at the event. The reveal will come during “The Top Secret Skybound & LEGO Panel,” moderated by Eric Huang, VP and Publisher of AMEET. Skybound has also advertised that the panel will feature writer/artist Tri Vuong, Skybound SVP/Editor in Chief Sean Mackiewicz, LEGO Ninjago creator Tommy Andreasen and other guests. And while they didn’t unveil the creative team just yet, Skybound did tease that the announcement will include a look at art from the series.
The Skybound Halloween Xpo will feature different segments throughout the event that touch upon different facets of the company. In addition to the LEGO panel, writer Dani Fernandez will host a talk on horror in Latinx culture, the Skybound Tabletop team will showcase upcoming games and voice actors Dave Fennoy and Melissa Hutchinson from The Walking Dead Telltale series will take a look at an upcoming statue of Lee and Clem ahead of the characters’ next journey. There will also be new installments in the popular Comics Vault Live, ATTACK! and Movie Trivia Schmoedown streaming series during the virtual event.
Earlier this year, it was announced that Skybound Entertainment and LEGO would be partnering up with children’s book publisher AMEET for a new line of LEGO comic books. Speaking on the partnership, Senior Vice President and Editor-in-Chief Sean Mackiewicz said, “Each title will be a portal to the endless worlds accessible in every LEGO play session, created to inspire the LEGO builders, readers, and thinkers of tomorrow.”
The upcoming LEGO line of titles supports Skybound’s push to produce more stories for readers of all ages. The publisher recently created Skybound Comet, a new imprint intended for Young Adult (ages 12+) and Middle Grade (ages 8-12) readers that begins publication in 2022. The first book from the line will be The Walking Dead: Clementine Book One by Tillie Walden, which continues the adventures of Clementine after the end of the Telltale video game series. Other titles include Everyday Hero Machine Boy OGN by the team of Tri Vuong and Irma Kniivila, as well as Sea Serpent’s Heir Book One by Mairghread Scott and Pablo Tunica.
