Dark Horse Comics presenta Skate Ali, una nueva serie de cinco números de Kelly Sue DeConnick, Sam Humphries y Natacha Bustos. 

Skate Ali es una saga de skatepunk de ciencia ficción trepidante y revolucionaria sobre la amistad, la rebelión y la búsqueda de uno mismo cuando el mundo quiere derribarte, escrita por DeConnick (FML, Bitch Planet) y Humphries (Harley Quinn, Guardianes de la Galaxia), ilustrada por Bustos (Moon Girl, Miles Morales) y rotulada por Josh Reed (Knight City, Christmas 365). El número 1 estará disponible en junio de 2026 y contará con portadas de Bustos, Joe Quinones, Sweeney Boo, Emma Rios y Jamie McKelvie.

Sobre Skate Ali:

Bienvenidos a Los Ángeles en un futuro cercano: una ciudad arrasada por el neón donde el skate ha sido brutalmente prohibido. Pero nada detiene a Skate Ali.

De día, es solo una estudiante más que evade la detención. De noche, es una rebelde sobre ruedas, una enigmática solitaria que desafía la ley en las calles de Los Ángeles.

Pero cuando Ali se lanza de cabeza al infame mundo del skate underground, se encuentra cara a cara con un grupo de patinadores marginados llamado LA Skull Clan y su líder enmascarada, Skull Queen 9. Impulsados ​​por una fuerza mágica llamada Rush, el clan realiza movimientos explosivos y actos de resistencia desafiantes.

Ante la oportunidad de mejorar su juego, pero con miedo de ser percibida por los demás, Ali debe decidir: ¿irá a lo seguro o se lanzará de lleno a la revolución con un kickflip?

“Kelly Sue y yo ideamos Skate Ali hace más de diez años”, dijo Humphries. “Ha estado viviendo en nuestras cabezas desde entonces, exigiendo salir, patinando dentro de nuestros cráneos como si fueran piscinas vacías. Es ruidosa y necesitábamos el alivio, pero también hay algo en su corazón, su energía insolente y sus tobillos lastimados que la ha hecho imposible ignorarla. Contar con Natacha como artista y cocreadora fue la clave para que Ali finalmente cobrara vida. Estamos deseando que todos conozcan a la mejor y peor patinadora de la historia de Los Ángeles”.

“Trabajar en este proyecto ha sido divertido desde el principio”, añadió Bustos. Me cautivaron de inmediato los guiones y el espíritu spokon que encierra la historia, con sus personajes peculiares e increíblemente ingeniosos. Por supuesto, Ali es el alma de todo, y la descripción que Sam y Kelly hicieron de ella me enamoró del personaje a primera vista. Diseñarla fue un placer, al igual que dar vida a todos los personajes que la rodean. Espero que los lectores disfruten de un cómic divertido, ingenioso y conmovedor.

NOTA DE PRENSA OFICIAL ORIGINAL

GET READY TO SHRED IN KELLY SUE DECONNICK, SAM HUMPHRIES, AND NATACHA BUSTOS’S NEW SCI-FI SKATEPUNK SAGA, SKATE ALI Available in comic shops on June 10! MILWAUKIE, Ore. (February 20, 2026)—Dark Horse Comics presents Skate Ali, a new five-issue comic series from Kelly Sue DeConnick, Sam Humphries, and Natacha Bustos! Skate Ali is a high-octane, genre-smashing sci-fi skatepunk saga about friendship, rebellion, and finding yourself when the world wants to knock you down written by DeConnick (FML, Bitch Planet) and Humphries (Harley Quinn, Guardians of the Galaxy), illustrated by Bustos (Moon Girl, Miles Morales), and lettered by Josh Reed (Knight City, Christmas 365). Issue #1 will be available in June 2026 and will feature cover art by Bustos, Joe Quinones, Sweeney Boo, Emma Rios, and Jamie McKelvie.   About Skate Ali: Welcome to near-future Los Angeles—a neon-scorched city where skateboarding has been ruthlessly outlawed. But nothing stops Skate Ali.   By day, she’s just another student dodging detention. By night, she’s a rebel on wheels, an enigmatic loner defying the law on the Los Angeles streets.   But when Ali slams headfirst into the infamous world of underground skateboarding, she comes face to face with a crew of outcast skaters called the LA Skull Clan, and their masked leader, Skull Queen 9. Fueled by a magical force called the Rush, the clan pulls off explosive moves and defiant acts of resistance.   Faced with the opportunity to level up her game, but afraid of actually being perceived by others, Ali must decide: will she play it safe, or kickflip straight into a revolution?   “Kelly Sue and I first came up with Skate Ali over ten years ago,” said Humphries. “She's been living in our heads ever since, demanding to come out, skating the inside of our skulls like they were empty swimming pools. It's noisy and we needed the relief, but there's also something about her heart, smartass vibes, and banged up ankles that has made her impossible to ignore. Getting Natacha to join us as artist and co-creator was the perfect fit to make Ali finally come alive. We can't wait for everyone to meet the best and worst skater in the history of Los Angeles."   "Working on this project has been fun from the very beginning,” added Bustos. “I was immediately captivated by the scripts and the spokon spirit at the heart of the story, with its peculiar and incredibly smartly written characters. Of course, Ali is the soul of everything, and Sam and Kelly’s description of her made me fall in love with the character at first sight. Designing her was a joy, just like bringing to life all the characters who orbit around her. I hope readers enjoy a comic that’s fun, clever, and full of heart."   Drop into your local comic shop and pre-order Skate Ali #1 (of 5) before it hits shelves on June 10, 2026 for $4.99.   Praise for Kelly Sue DeConnick, Sam Humphries, and Natacha Bustos: “DeConnick has always combined top-notch lyrical text with a knack for bringing out the best in the artists she works with.”—Polygon “Kelly Sue DeConnick either writes with a King Midas pen, is one of the few remaining wizards in the world, or, most likely, is just that damn good because Bitch Planet is yet another amazing series with her name on the cover.”—Word on the Nerd “Kelly Sue DeConnick is a force in comics.”—Book Riot  "[Humphries] is a comic book legend."—SyFy.com "Sam Humphries delivers a damn near perfect bit of storytelling."— Comicbook.com “With subdued intent, Bustos illustrates worlds where readers of all backgrounds can feel empowered and see themselves represented. She herself became an icon of sorts to young fans of color, in which she sees her younger self represented.”—Huffington Post “While everyone does great work across the board, there is no underestimating the importance of Bustos’s work here, as she gave us a Lunella that very much looked and acted like a 9-year-old, and the dynamic motion and epic double-page spreads she brought to the series are truly unique. The design work she did in establishing the sort of anti-fashion of Lunella helped to define the character, and in the best moments the art fairly leaps off the pages. Her covers on the series are brilliant and rank among the best of the last decade.”—Comics Beat on Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur
