Barbarian Behind Bars #1

(W) Elliott Kalan (A) Andrea Mutti

Who is the mysterious, musclebound warrior who came to our world in a storm of magic and violence?! That’s what public defender Irene Chang wants to know. This guy came out of nowhere, doesn’t speak English, and now she’s supposed to help him beat a murder charge after he chopped some other weird dude’s head off with a magic axe in broad daylight? Of course, he may not live to go to trial, with all the enemies he’s making in prison. Good thing his cellmate grills a mean cheese sandwich. BARBARIAN BEHIND BARS is the fight-packed fantasy prison thriller you didn’t know you always needed.

Creatures & Corridors is a familiar story but really solid overall with great presentation

Posted on by

It’s the summer of 1992, and five high school sophomores play a rare role-playing game that was banned for being “too Satanic” — Creatures & Corridors. As the kids play the mysterious fantasy game, it unleashes a curse that warps reality around them: orcs storm the living room, killing their parents. The front yard turns into a moat filled with tentacled horrors. And their basement “game cave” transforms into a literal dungeon, laden with bloodthirsty monsters and terrifying death traps. Now, the kids are forced to play Creatures & Corridors for their very lives, as a devilish Gamemaster judges their every move.

When the smoke clears and the dust settles, one barbarian finds himself in a place no sword can save him from: prison… This February, Mad Cave Studios presents Barbarian Behind Bars—a five-issue prison-action-fantasy miniseries that throws high adventure and hard time into the same cell. From writer Elliott Kalan and artist Andrea Mutti, with letterer Taylor Esposito, this brutal genre mash-up drops readers into a world where muscle meets bureaucracy and magic meets maximum security.

Astro Quantum #1

A cursed ship. A cosmic beast. A choice between vengeance and survival. Mad Cave Studios has announced Astro Quantum, a stunning new sci-fi epic from creators Arturo Fabra and Andrea Mutti, with colors by Valerio Alloro and letters by Dan Cutali, charting an odyssey of cosmic vengeance, ecological reckoning, and existential discovery in a five-issue limited series.

Cast out to die in the toxic world of Maku, young Ishmaeel finds an unlikely ally in the sharp-tongued Soliumite exile Quee-Keg. Together, they claw their way through underground bazaars, brutal creatures of the Galaxy, and bitter rivalries to chase a destiny bigger than either imagined: a place aboard the legendary Molok-hunting starship PEKUOD. An all-new epic space saga of survival, rebellion, and the hunger to reach beyond the stars starts here!

Astro Quantum balances pulse-pounding space-opera action with philosophical introspection. Its expansive universe, free of humans yet full of racial, cultural, and moral diversity, echoes contemporary questions of survival, faith, and identity. 

Fans of Saga, The Expanse, and Farscape will find themselves immersed in a world where destiny isn’t found in the stars—it’s forged in the fight to survive them.

Astro Quantum #1 hits shelves and digital platforms January 28, 2026, with a Final Order Cut-Off date of January 5, 2026.
