Steven Universe: Greg Universe Special #1 Highlights Father/Son Bond

By Keith Hendricks • 9 years ago • Comics

BOOM! Studios has announced that their KaBOOM! imprint is bringing a special collection of father-son stories to comic shop shelves late April in the Steven Universe: Greg Universe Special #1. The talent line-up for this oversized one shot includes the regular Steven Universe creative team Jeremy Sorese and Coleman Engle, as well as Liz Prince (Tomboy), Grace Kraft (Steven Universe), Kelly Turnbull (Adventure Time), Rachel Dukes (Garfield), and Chrystin Garland (Bee & PuppyCat).

“The Steven Universe animated series never stops outdoing itself, consistently delivering powerful characters and deeply moving stories,” said BOOM! Studios Editor-in-Chief Matt Gagnon. “That’s exactly the type of storytelling we strive to stay true to in the comics. For this special issue we wanted to focus a little more on the relationship between Greg and Steven; even though Greg doesn’t have Gem powers, he’s still one of the most important people in Steven’s life, and the bond between father and son presents its own kind of magic.”

The final order cutoff for the Stephen Universe: Greg Universe Special #1 is April 6th (Diamond code FEB151183), and it arrives in comic shops on April 29th with two covers, the main cover by Ru Xu and a retailer incentive cover by Fellipe Martins.
