Curt Pires is expanding Creature Corps with anthology chapters included in each issue of the forthcoming Image Comics series. The World of Creature Corps begins alongside the main comic on December 2, 2026, with the additional stories included at no extra charge. Timmy Heague and Stefan Tosheff provide the opening arc,

set in a rehabilitation centre for former creature trainers. Franklin Jonas and Drew Rende follow with a cosmic-horror story. Fred Kennedy and Juanse Eslava are also named among the writers contributing to later instalments, with further creators still to be announced. The main series, written by Pires and illustrated

by Jok, imagines fantastical creatures from a damaged future arriving in the present and becoming participants in brutal organised sport. The backups move attention toward other characters and consequences within that setting, including what happens to people after their careers in the arena end. Creature Corps #1 is

listed as a 60-page issue costing $4.99, with the retailer final-order cutoff on November 9. The newly revealed anthology line adds another set of creative teams to the December launch rather than changing the previously announced central premise. Source: Publisher press release.
