WARBIRD #2 (OF 4) CVR D ALEX MALEEV SECRET DECODER VAR (Release Date: 08/26/2026)

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), hit the accelerator in the next issue of their white-knuckle, globe-spanning action/spy thrill ride. 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.
