Trillion Dollar Kid: Johns & Tomasi Unleash a Wealthy Teen's Quest
Forget your average rich kid angst. Image Comics is introducing Tommy Townsend III, the world's first 13-year-old trillionaire, in The Trillion Dollar Kid #1. This isn't just about endless cash; it's a deep dive into what money can't buy.
Industry titans Geoff Johns and Peter J. Tomasi helm the writing, with Stefano Simeone on art and Francis Manapul providing a striking cover. That's a powerhouse creative team behind a bold new concept.
Tommy amassed his ridiculous fortune by inventing "Ouch-Less" sticky bandages. But even with a robot bodyguard named Sterling and a world of wonders, something's missing. Tommy's quest? To find "The Unbelievables," a mysterious group he believes will make the world better. This journey, Image teases, will launch an entire new universe.
“Even with a robot bodyguard named Sterling and a world of wonders, something's missing for the 13-year-old trillionaire.”
