Warbird (2026)
Blockbuster screenwriter Derek Kolstad, creator and writer of the internationally acclaimed, box office dominating motion picture franchise JOHN WICK, New York Times best-selling writer Robert Venditti (SUPERMAN ‘78), and Eisner Award-winning illustrator Alex Maleev (DAREDEVIL), tighten the screws in the penultimate issue of their white-knuckle, globe-spanning action/spy thrill ride. After a daring highspeed rail heist, Cole Norton has escaped the clutches of the Russian FSB welcoming brigade and infiltrated the city of Vorkuta. Now, deep in the arctic circle, Cole’s left hunting down the only lead Cole’s murdered friend Breck left behind: a single name stashed inside a bottle of bourbon – Valia Petrov – Breck’s mysterious in-country CIA contact and former flame. Together, they may be the only ones who can pull off Breck's unfinished mission — seize one of Russia's devastating Spearhead jets for the United States and reduce the remaining fleet to ash. But the treacherous Kovalev won’t let Cole slip through his fingers again. This time he’s brought back-up – a fully-armed squadron of Spetsnaz soldiers with orders to bring Cole down…no matter the cost.

High-end repo man Cole Norton has taken on a new gig. He’s been hired by the US government to sneak into Russia to steal one of their bleeding edge next-generation fighter jets – the deadly Spearhead – in exchange for a cool $50 million. Any US agent tasked with gathering intelligence on the Spearhead program has been eliminated…including CIA special operative Breck Stanton, Cole’s former Air Force co-pilot and best friend. With Breck murdered on the streets of Moscow, it’s up to Cole to recover the intel Breck died to protect. But the muderous FSB agent Kovalev is hot on his trail and he’ll stop at nothing to kill Cole and bury the stolen state secrets with him.

Warbird #1 (Of 4) Cover A Alex Maleev
Blockbuster screenwriter Derek Kolstad, creator and writer of the internationally acclaimed, box office dominating motion picture franchise JOHN WICK, New York Times best-selling writer Robert Venditti (SUPERMAN ‘78), and master illustrator Alex Maleev, the Eisner Award-winning artist behind seminal runs on Daredevil, Moon Knight and more, have combined powers to bring you a white-knuckle, globe-spanning action/spy thrill ride. Cole is a repo man of the highest caliber, 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. 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.
