The Mighty has found a new publishing home with Image Comics who are releasing a new edition this September. The new edition will contain all twelve issues, three rare eight page stories, and a treasure trove of behind the scenes sketches and scripts. The beloved story by Peter J. Tomasi, Keith Champagne, Chris Samnee, and Peter Snejbjerg focus on a world with one super hero, Alpha One. While Alpha One stands a symbol of hope and an inspiration for millions, police captain Gabriel Cole gets close enough to discover Alpha One’s origins and his twisted plans to create a utopia. Champagne says:
I’ve always felt The Mighty was a bit ahead of its time and it remains firmly in place on the Mount Rushmore of projects I’m most proud of. Working with my great friend, Peter Tomasi, to build this world and tell a story about these characters; to see Peter Snejberg bring that world to life visually, then have my mind blown even further by Chris Samnee when he picked up the artistic reins, with the chef’s kiss of Rob Leigh, John Kalisz and Dave Johnson… as a writer, it doesn’t get much more satisfying. I’m grateful to Image for collecting this book in its MIGHTIEST edition and for introducing this thriller to a whole new audience. Maybe Peter and I will finally tell the next story set in this world; all the clues are there as to what the future holds for Gabriel Cole and Alpha-One, but no one will ever see it coming.
