Ludo Lullabi, Chuma Hill, Riley Rossmo & More Talented Artists Turn Up the Heat in January
“The character designs are fun and creative; well, the action sequences look epic. The big feel of everything really attracts the readers eye and makes the story feel epic” – Nerd Initiative
“There’s not another mainstream comic in the stands today that conjures such a clear fusion of an anime experience like Ghost Pepper.” – Lyles Movie Files
Today Skybound and Image Comics revealed the variant cover lineup for Ghost Pepper #7, from creator/writer/artist/letterer Ludo Lullabi (TRANSFORMERS, Battle Chasers) and colorist Adriano Lucas (Destro). Ghost Pepper #7 continues the new arc of the fiery action series and will arrive in comic book shops on January 21, 2026.
Ghost Pepper has introduced readers to a reality where humanity survived a monstrous threat, but the world isn’t better for everyone. Every day Loloi hits the road to deliver her delicious cooking to the masses, outsmarting her treacherous competition and staying one step ahead of the massive robots “protecting” them all. But everything changes when she serves a mysterious warrior named Ash, whose secrets might just save the world…if his superhuman strength doesn’t destroy it first.
Now, Ash’s role in saving the world is revealed, and his enemies plan to silence him…permanently. A new battle begins in issue #7!
