Skybound Japan's inaugural project, in collaboration with Fuji TV, is Heart Attack, an electrifying sci-fi television series based on the Skybound original graphic novel series by Shawn Kittelsen (Injustice 2, Mortal Kombat) and Eric Zawadzki (House of El). Set in a post-pandemic world where gene therapy has saved humanity from disease but spawned individuals with unique powers, the show delves into the struggles of Variants, whose human rights are denied by the government.
