FIRST LOOK: Skybound Debuts Fresh Covers for Ghost Pepper’s Spicy New Story Arc

  Ludo Lullabi’s Explosive Action Series Continues This December 


Today, Skybound and Image Comics revealed a first look at covers for the second story arc of the hit comic book series Ghost Pepper, including the debut of rising star artist Frédéric Pham Chuong’s themed variant cover series. From creator/writer/artist/letterer Ludo Lullabi (TRANSFORMERS, Battle Chasers) and colorist Adriano Lucas (Destro, Absolute Flash), the high-octane action series about forgotten heroes, cutthroat food trucks, and saving the world continues when issue #6 arrives in comic book shops on December 17, 2025.  

Each of the covers in the “action figure” themed variant cover series by Frédéric Pham Chuong (TRANSFORMERS) depicts Ghost Pepper’s cast of characters encased in classic figure packaging for fans to collect and display as if it’s a pristine figure. This themed set will span the Cover C (1:10 incentive) variant cover slot for issues #6-12.

“GHOST PEPPER has been a dream project both in helping Ludo Lullabi execute his amazing idea but also in fan and retailer reception,” noted Executive Editor Ben Abernathy. “This series has really struck a chord with a lot of people and has been a monthly standout on the sales chart. So, THANK YOU to everyone who have supported us through the first five issues, and we’re excited to hear what you think of our epic second arc!”

Ghost Pepper 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.

The second story arc of Ghost Pepper begins in the aftermath of a major battle, when Loloi brings Ash to her home village, which has been overrun by a corrupt mayor and his augmented henchmen! All the while, hunters are closing in…

In addition to kicking off the action figure variant cover series by Frédéric Pham Chuong, the lineup of variant covers for Ghost Pepper #6 also includes the main cover by Ludo Lullabi, an open-to-order variant cover by Carmine di Giandomenico (Absolute Superman), a 1:25 incentive variant cover by Patricia Martín (Secret Weapons), a 1:50 incentive variant cover by new artist Pepper, and a blank sketch cover. 

Ghost Pepper #6 (Lunar Codes Coming Soon | SRP: $3.99) will be available at comic book shops and digital platforms including Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, and Google Play on Wednesday, December 17, 2025.
