Robert Kirkman has signed a deal with the movie production company Moving Images for the distribution of The Walking Dead, Super Dinosaur, The Infinite, and other Skybound comic book properties in Asia. The two companies have formed Skybound Asia, which will be based in Singapore. 

 

Interest in Kirkman’s oeuvre has been largely stimulated by the success of the AMC adaptation of The Walking Dead.  Kirkman sees expansion into the Asian market as the next logical step in creating a global brand.. He told The Hollywood Reporter: “The next step for Skybound and The Walking Dead in particular is the evolution into a global brand. Partnering with Moving Images to form Skybound Asia is the first logical step toward that goal. It will allow us to gain a foothold in emerging markets and in order to bring Skybound comics to an entirely new audience.”
