After a nearly 8-year break, David Lapham, Image Comics bringing ‘Stray Bullets’ back in March

Nearly eight years after its last issue, “Stray Bullets” is headed back to comic shops with a final issue, a new sequel and a one-shot omnibus collecting all 41 issues of the seminal title created by writer and artist David Lapham.

Image Comics, home to “The Walking Dead” and other creator-owned titles, says the series’ return is set for March. Lapham, who has been writing other comics in the interim, calls it the right time to bring the story to audiences old and new.

The title, he says, has “always been home to me,” and during the time off, he’s sparked new ideas for the series that sees him not just wrap its first, complete arc, but move on to “Stray Bullets: Killers.”
