From writer Doug Wagner (Narco, I Was a Fashion School Serial Killer) and artist Hoyt Silva (Last Stop, Mongrel) comes a kickass anti-spy action thriller in Yumi: 00EX.
Blood-soaked katanas, sentient Lamborghinis, and a soundtrack that can level city blocks. Yumi—the world’s greatest hacker, demolitions expert, and anti-spy—embarks on a globe-trotting mission of vengeance as she tracks down her kidnapped boyfriend, super secret agent Richard. The debut issue of Yumi: 00EX infiltrates comic shops on August 12th from writer Doug Wagner (Narco, I Was a Fashion School Serial Killer), artist Hoyt Silva (Last Stop, Mongrel), colorist Kevin Lennertz, letterer Frank Cvetovic, designer Sasha Head, editor Lisako Yamauchi, creative studio 12-Gauge Comics, and publisher Image Comics. Trailblazing a path of pulpy spy fiction for a new generation, Yumi is a rush of pop culture adoration and hyper-kinetic brawls that resculpt the genre.
The first issue includes stunning cover art from Nicoletta Baldari (cover artist for Disney, Marvel, DC, Konami), Mirka Andolfo (Mercy, Unnatural, Blasfamous, Sweet Paprika), and Silva.
“Yumi pays homage and respect to the massive contribution Ian Fleming gifted the literary world, while bringing a modern flair to the genre,” Wagner explains. “It’s ridiculous, over-the-top, bloody testament to love’s ability to transform and push us forward, all wrapped in a sassy, heartwarming pancake.”

“So many explosions. So many countries. So many battle sequences. YUMI: 00EX is one of the most adrenaline-fueled projects of my career—Doug’s script crackles with momentum,” Silva explains. “It was an amazing challenge to match that sheer energy.”
FOC for Yumi:00EX is 7/21 and it hits shelves on 8/12!
