A jilted girlfriend hacks MI6, burns it to the ground, and finds herself a getaway car that doubles as a weapon of mass destruction.
That’s the setup for Yumi: 00EX, a new four-issue series from Image Comics hitting shelves this August. Writer Doug Wagner (Plastic, Narco) teams up with artist Hoyt Silva for what sounds like Kingsman meets Fast and Furious with a K-Pop twist.
The story follows Yumi, whose MI6 boyfriend vanishes without a trace. Instead of waiting around, she storms the agency, hacks their systems, takes out their operatives, and torches everything in sight. Her only ally? A fully AI Lamborghini that’s more weapon than vehicle.
“Part The Kingsman, part K-Pop Demon Hunters, all attitude,” Wagner told Popverse. “We even tossed in an AI Lamborghini sidekick that’s built like a WMD, because with Hoyt and I involved, subtlety never really had a chance.”
The series launches August 12 with four variant covers, including work from Mirka Andolfo (Sweet Paprika) and Nicoletta Baldari. Digital versions drop the same day on Kindle, Apple Books, and Google Play.
Wagner’s built a reputation for wild, violent stories that don’t pull punches. This one looks like more of the same, just with better cars.
