Simmons (actor, Spider-Man, Justice League), Lynda Carter (actor, 1975's Wonder Woman), Famke Janssen (actor, X-Men), Michelle Rodriguez (actor, The Fate of the Furious) and Todd McFarlane (creator, Spawn) among others.

"My love for the world of comics knows no bounds," Kirkman said in a statement. "It's a universe of amazing stories that has been driving pop culture as a whole for decades. Being able to explore the nooks and crannies of this world has allowed me to find out secrets even I didn't know. It's been a pleasure putting this series together, and I couldn't be more thrilled to be able to finally share it with the world."
