“BULLET ADVENTURES is the kind of smart, kinetic, satisfying comic book this business needs. It’s not a throwback to the way super-hero comics used to be as much as a throw-forward to the way they should be.” —Phil Hester

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: SEPT 5, 2025 (PORTLAND, OR) — Altruist Comics is proud to debut BULLET ADVENTURES #1, a high-octane, heart-first superhero series that puts legacy, science, and time-warped storytelling into overdrive. Created by Jordan Alsaqa (Cooking with Monsters, Apex Legends) and Randy Stone (The Sensational Swan, Death & Comics), with art and colors by Lara Kane (Flash Gordon, Semiautomagic), and letters by Lucas Gattoni (Blue Beetle, DC Pride, Killer Queens), this series kicks off a generational saga that’s as punchy as it is poignant—with stunning variant covers by Nicolás Carrizo and Francesca Cittarelli, and retailer incentive cover by Lara Kane, it’s a thrill ride from start to finish!

Elderly Dale DeSouza, the former Silver Age speedster known as Bullet, is living out his final days in quiet isolation—until a visitor from the past (or is it the future?) drags him back into action. Transported to 1967 by a time-traveling scientist with more ambition than ethics, a newly de-aged Bullet must navigate old foes, new threats, and the strange twists of his own legacy. Can he get back to his own time… or will he change history first?

Bullet Adventures #1 also features two standout backup stories The Sensational Swan: The Session by PD Loupee and Randy Stone with 2022 Russ Manning Award winner Luana Vecchio (Lovesick), and The Backdoor Pilots, written by Dino Caruso with art by Alex Diotto (Olympia, Youth), colors by Paul Little, and letters by Adam Wollet. Together, these additions round out a debut issue that offers far more than just a punchy lead—Bullet Adventures #1 is a full-throttle launchpad for a new generation of voices.

Fans of high-energy, emotionally grounded superhero fare like Ms. Marvel, Ultimate Spider-Man, and The Flash will feel right at home. Like Invincible (pre-carnage), this series balances legacy and reinvention with a tone that’s fresh, accessible, and quietly subversive. The full-color, 28-page debut is all-ages friendly with just enough edge for older readers, and will be available through comic retailers, Altruist Comics, and digital platforms starting September 10, 2025.

Altruist Comics is proud to launch Bullet Adventures issues 2 and 3 on Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/altruistcomics/bulletadventures2

After Dale DeSouza was sent back to Bullet’s heroic beginnings in the ‘60s last issue, we jump ahead to the present day for a battle with a new version of Diamond Dust in #2, followed by the menacing new villain Cupid, unleashed in #3. Releasing both simultaneously will have this series in readers’ hands faster than Bullet himself!

Writer/Bullet co-creator Jordan Alsaqa says, “Bullet Adventures 2 is its own entirely fresh starting point for the series that sends the Silver Age spirit of the one-shot speeding into the modern day. It’s a fun-filled introduction to the future Dale DeSouza fought to protect and the legacy he left behind.” Wait, a reboot with the second issue? “Not exactly,” adds Altruist Comics Publisher Randy Stone, “but this is where the series really picks up and fans won’t believe what we have in store. Minds will be blown by the second page of issue 2 and the cliffhanger ending is just *chef’s kiss*.” Readers can see for themselves with a FREE advanced download of #2 here: https://altruistcomics.com/bulletadventures02story

The campaign runs from January 24 to February 23, 2023.
