Skybound Entertainment is an entertainment company founded by Robert Kirkman and David Alpert in 2010. It produces content for comic books, film, television, and other media. ==History== Kirkman created the company after he became a partner in Image Comics in 2008, as a corporate home for his extant creator-owned work and new projects.〔("Robert Kirkman Announces Skybound, a New Division of Image Comics" ), DreadCentral.com, July 19, 2010〕 It was the first new studio established in connection with Image Comics since the company was founded in the early 1990s, joining Highbrow Entertainment, Todd McFarlane Productions, Top Cow Productions, and Shadowline, each owned by another partner in Image Comics. At the time of its founding, Kirkman announced plans to publish outside works – dubbed "Skybound Originals" – in exchange for a partnership stake in the properties.〔("From Insider, a Comics Venture to Help Newcomers", ''The New York Times'', July 18, 2010 )〕 ''Witch Doctor'' by Brandon Seifert and Lukas Ketner was the first Skybound Original published by the company, beginning in June 2011.〔 The company's projects include the feature film ''AIR'' and the comic ''Outcast''.
