- WARBIRD #0
Written by Derek Kolstad, Robert Venditti, Art by Jesse Lonergan, Designs/Cover by Frank Quitely
From the minds of blockbuster screenwriter Derek Kolstad — creator and writer of the box office dominating motion picture franchise JOHN WICK — and New York Times best-selling writer Robert Venditti (Superman ’78, Green Lantern), comes a white-knuckle, globe-spanning action/spy thrill ride. Cole is a repo man of the highest calibre, repossessing heavily guarded mega yachts from billionaires, private planes from captains of industry, and everything in between. If it’s got an engine, he can drive it, ride it, or fly it straight out from under the nose of an army of guards. But now he’s handed the job of a lifetime. The impossible job. One that will bring him face to face with the highest stakes. The Russians have stolen aeronautical military secrets from China, France, Germany, the UK, and the US to “Frankenstein” together the ultimate bleeding-edge, next-gen fighter jet: The Warbird. There are only three of them in existence. They are a force of absolute nature—$1.4 billion apiece—dominating every global hotspot from Syria to Ukraine. And Cole’s been hired to steal one… and destroy the other two. His fee? 10%. A cool $140 million. But this isn’t a repossession job. This is outright theft. And failure doesn’t mean jail time and fines—it means a bullet to the back of the head. - WARBIRD #1
