4-issue comic series: nathan fillion announced on March 20 that he has teamed with Dark Horse Comics to co-write Witness Point, a crime-thriller comic slated as a multi-issue project. The move pairs Fillion with writer Heath Corson and artist Soo Lee and positions the series for direct retail distribution and digital release.
Dark Horse Comics Collaboration
March 20: Dark Horse’s announcement accompanied its release schedule and a retailer call-to-action, with the publisher urging, "Pre-order your copy of issue #1 now, wherever you get your comics 🔥." That directive establishes immediate commercial availability through comic shops and digital storefronts and signals an initial sales push ahead of the series launch.
Heath Corson and Soo Lee
Heath Corson pulled Nathan Fillion into the project, Fillion said directly: "Heath pulled me into his world with Witness Point, and I immediately knew this was a story that would lend itself to a comic series." Fillion also called his artist partner out by name: "I’m excited to be collaborating with the incredibly talented and celebrated artist Soo Lee, whose recent work on ThunderCats: Cheetara, The Wizard of Oz, and Disney Villains: Maleficent is nothing short of extraordinary." Those statements lock Corson as the writer lead and Soo Lee as the visual architect, defining the creative team readers can expect.
Witness Point Release Date
July 8, 2026: the first issue of Witness Point is scheduled to debut online and in comic book stores on that date, with Dark Horse describing the series as a crime-thriller set in Baraboo, Wisconsin. Dark Horse’s materials frame Baraboo as a circus town tied to the Witness Protection Program, where "every criminal who cooperated with the U.S. government is sent there to 'Witness Point.'" The plot centers on a U.S. Marshal’s dead body being found in the town square and local sheriff Carter 'Kite' Calhoon and his team racing to identify the killer before the town’s Harvest Festival.
July 8, 2026 is also the operational deadline for retailers and readers: pre-orders are already live per Dark Horse’s post, and the project lists Fillion’s production company Collision33—alongside Michelle Chapman, Josh Levy—and Dark Horse Entertainment as partners working to bring the story to market. Fans who want a physical copy should follow their usual comic-shop pre-order channels now to lock in issue #1 ahead of the July street date.
