Like We Can Never Go Home , 4 Kids is a five part miniseries at Black Mask Studios , but it replaces the fantasy of power with a darkly comedic take on the classical heist capriole . The twisting ? The ones doing all the capering are a crowd of 11 twelvemonth honest-to-goodness Thomas Kid .
publish by Matthew Rosenberg with artistic production from Tyler Boss and varsity letter from Thomas Mauer , 4 Kids Walk Into a Bank follows Paige , a young young lady who ’s father is wrangled into helping some useless ex-wife - cons rob a bank . Fearing their incompetence could land her dad in hot H2O , Paige enrol her dorky , D&D lie with friends into draw off the perfect stickup themselves .
“ 4 Kids is something Tyler and I have wanted to do for a very long time , ” Rosenberg told io9 over email . “ I gave the first issue to a friend and they referred to it as ‘ Wes Anderson ’s version of Dog Day Afternoon . ’ It immix a caboodle of stuff I jazz — misfit coming - of - age tales , bizarre crime capers , and really dark comedy — into one very small story . We are definitely assume our influences on our sleeves with this one , but hopefully we come out of this showing that we can make something brisk . Or at least that we have a circumstances of really weird influence people do n’t have a bun in the oven . ”
Although the serial does n’t delve into the fantastic like the superhero story of We Can Never Go Home , Rosenberg think fans of the serial publication will feel aright at home plate with Paige ’s story . “ Finishing We Can Never Go Home last class and see to it some folks really like what I enjoyed about it , the relationships of these blemished people , made me more determined to attempt and do more of that form of thing . More small stories . I eff superhero stuff , but the comics that get me inspired every time I read them are stuff like Love & Rockets , Stray Bullets , and the criminal offence comics by Ed Brubaker and Brian Michael Bendis . There is so much humanity on those pages , without ever sacrificing those softheaded thrills . That ’s what we were extend for . ”
It might not have the superheroic action we get it on in We Can Never Go Home , but we ca n’t await for this one . 4 Kids Walk Into a Bank begins in April .
