Marilyn Howe's search for her missing sister exposes a secret war hidden in the DNA of superheroes in TERMINAL #1

There are combos that work on paper, and combos that actually click. Robert Kirkman and Joe Casey are writing TERMINAL, and they're putting Andy Kubert and Dave McCaig on pencils and covers. You get that immediate sense of scale when these names align.

At the center is Marilyn Howe, a woman on the ground looking for her sister, Alessandra. Her search isn't just missing person work; it pulls her into a secret war fought by two violent factions with powers that challenge what's possible. The line between good and evil is blurred here, and the only way to survive the conflict is by unlocking your genetic code. That revelation changes everything. It means the power to save the world isn't a gift or a mutation you're born with; it's something you have to find and pay for, and the price might be your identity.

Kubert and McCaig are delivering the pencils and the covers, so the visual storytelling will be precise and impactful. The solicitation notes a creative team that includes David Finch and Arthur Adams, suggesting a rich environment where the art is pushing the narrative forward. This debut asks you to invest in a complex mystery and rewards that with high-stakes action and a premise that reframes how superhuman power works.

The blind bags are worth checking. Image is hiding four rare surprise comics or variants inside that haven't been announced yet. If you pick up a copy, take a moment to look inside; those unannounced surprises are the only way to grab them, and they're going to be the ones people trade for.
