Warning! Potential spoilers for Netflix's Cowboy Bebop below!
Titan Comics has released six new covers which provide a closer look at their comic adaptation of the upcoming Netflix live-action Cowboy Bebop series. On the covers, fans of the longtime anime get a great glimpse of the newest versions of Spike Siegel, Jet Black, and Faye Valentine in action. The covers represent an excellent tease for the Cowboy Bebop Netflix series.
Cowboy Bebop is one of the most popular anime series ever. The show, which stars a group of bounty hunters in the future, originally ran for 26 episodes. The show is widely considered one of the greatest animated series of all time while playing a pivotal role in reintroducing anime to Western audiences. There have been rumblings for a live-action series for years, with Netflix revealing in late 2018 the series would come to its platform. This year, Netflix offered up the first glimpse at the series starring John Cho, Mustafa Shakir, Daniella Pineda, and Alex Hassell as Cowboy Bebop will air its 10-episode first season in November.
Along with a live-action show, the new version of Cowboy Bebop will get a comic book adaptation from Titan Comics. While the first issue is still a few months away, coming out on December 8, Titan just revealed six new covers, which should get the fanbase excited for the series. The new covers feature Cho's Spike Siegel, Shakir's Jet Black, Pineda's Valentine, and of course, Ein the dog. The variants are done by a talented group of artists, including Stanley "Artgerm" Lau, Claudia Ianniciello, Afu Chan, and Yishan Li. In addition, the covers also include a photo variant and a black and white cover from Lau.
The comic will take place in the year 2171, where the group of bounty hunters will be on the chase for a former gang member who has a vest that gives who wears it "unlimited luck." Will the group get the chance to wear the vest and hit the casinos as one of the variant covers suggests? Regardless, it's fun to see the trio (and Ein) in action.
For those wanting to check out the upcoming comic adaptation or pick up one of the stunning covers, Cowboy Bebop #1 by Dan Watters and Lamar Mathurin comes to comic book shops on December 8th. The 32-page issue from Titan Comics should be the perfect primer for both new readers who want to see Cowboy Bebop's Netflix heroes come to the page as well as those excited for the crew's continued adventures.
