There’s a new Cowboy Bebop comic coming out and it is based on the Netflix TV show. Whatever you feel about the show, this is definitely worth checking out.

I know some people might complain that they could have based a comic on the original anime show and they have a point. The artwork looks great though and while I have a preview PDF, I haven’t had time to review it yet. It comes out tomorrow, so just take my word for it – it looks great.

Or… don’t take my word for it and have a look at some of it here:

The comic goes on sale tomorrow for $3.99 from Titan Comics. I think it looks stylised enough to be aesthetically pleasing. Now just need a decent Cowboy Bebop story and we’re good to go. Hopefully.

There’s also a trailer for this version of Cowboy Bebop that shows some more of the art. Check it out:
