Matthew Arnold returns to Comixology Originals with the new original graphic novel OUTER LANDS featuring art by Davide Gianfelice and a cover by Jock

Announced earlier this year, timed to WonderCon, television and film writer Matthew Arnold returns to Comixology Originals with the new sci-fi original graphic novel, Outer Lands, which debuts digitally from Amazon’s Comixology Originals exclusive digital content line on August 26, 2025.

“Outer Lands is an action-packed, twisting tale with big surprises which, at its heart, is really about the dangers of technology and our longing for the nostalgic past,” says writer Matt Arnold.

What begins as a historical epic unexpectedly turns into a post-apocalyptic thriller. When a young prince living in a seemingly Ancient Grecian world is exiled to a prison isle to keep him from assuming the throne, he unintentionally discovers a massive global conspiracy in this science-fiction fantasy mash-up.

Outer Lands is written by television and film writer Matthew Arnold, whose work includes NBC’s Siberia, NBC’s Emerald City, and the film Shadow People. Arnold is also the writer of the sci-fi original graphic novel Eden, which is available digitally from Comixology Originals and in print from Dark Horse. Outer Lands features art by Davide Gianfelice, who is best known for his work on Northlanders, and a cover by artist Jock, whose comics work includes Batman, Wytches, The Losers as well as concept art for films including Dredd, Ex Machina and Star Wars: The Last Jedi.

“What would happen if a hoplite from ancient Greece wielded a modern assault rifle? Together with Matt Arnold, I had an incredible time bringing this bold concept to life crafting an action-packed story where ancient history collides with modern warfare in the most thrilling way,” says artist Davide Gianfelice.  

Outer Lands is a riveting and timely story that delves into our worries about AI and a resurgent fear of global nuclear war, while contrasting that against our romantic notions of an idyllic past. But not everything is as it seems in this epic and surprising tale, which explores both our deepest fears and our greatest fantasies, while ultimately providing a crucial warning for the future.

New York Times-bestselling author Stephen Graham Jones and artist Davide Gianfelice’s epic time-twisting historical slasher reaches its astonishing end! What began with a bloody battle to kill Christopher Columbus in 1492 has led to a war of words in the revolutionary streets of 1776 Philadelphia as Emily’s strange partnership with Benjamin Franklin brings her within striking distance of the Declaration of Independence. A pen’s stroke may be all that separates the world from total ruin-and Emily’s pact with Tad, Sosh, and Yellow Kid to save the future by stopping the creation of America will live or die with her choices in this final chapter!

In 1776, Emily’s mission starts to take shape as she finds an ally in Benjamin Franklin and the two begin working together to eliminate targets. Emily hopes that will be enough to finally change history once and for all in the way intended. However, there are more enemies in 1776 than there are allies, and Emily is about to be sorely reminded of that fact.

Yellow Kid is on the run from Martin, who is desperate to know what happened to his children. Yellow Kid knows the truth, but before he can get too far, he runs across an old friend in the strangest way possible. Back in 1776, Emily has revealed her true identity as a time traveler from the year 2112, her well-being in danger, her mission on the verge of absolutely collapsing in on itself and having effects on the timeline she couldn’t have imagined.

Earthdivers Vol. 1 Kill Columbus

SRP: $17.99

The year is 2112, and it’s the apocalypse exactly as expected: rivers receding, oceans rising, civilization crumbling. Humanity has given up hope, except for a group of Indigenous outcasts who have discovered a time travel portal in a cave in the desert and figured out where everything took a turn for the worst: America. Convinced that the only way to save the world is to rewrite its past, they send one of their own-a reluctant linguist named Tad-on a bloody, one-way mission to 1492 to kill Christopher Columbus before he reaches the so-called New World. But there are steep costs to disrupting the timeline, and taking down an icon isn’t an easy task for an academic with no tactical training and only a wavering moral compass to guide him. As the horror of the task ahead unfolds and Tad’s commitment is tested, his actions could trigger a devastating new fate for his friends and the future.

When Indigenous survivors Tad, Sosh, Emily, and Yellow Kid plotted to reverse the apocalypse by stopping the creation of America, their wildest dreams couldn’t have prepared them for the consequences of interfering with history. Now the mission to kill Christopher Columbus comes to a close, but whose blood will spill when the Santa Maria finally hits shore? And where-when-will the desperate time travelers go when their efforts in 1492 backfire?

It’s time to stop thinking and start cutting throats. Christopher Columbus’ ships are weeks closer to landfall, and Tad has nothing to show for it. Battered and bruised after a string of slick but failed attempts to stop the mission’s progress, Tad is ready to admit that history will never change if he doesn’t spill blood and he’s too pissed off to care about collateral damage anymore. But even if he succeeds, his friends in 2112 look doomed as Emily fights for her life at the cave and Sosh confronts Yellow Kid about the unforgivable origins of their plan to save the world.

After his mesmerizing prediction comes to pass, Tad is embraced as a holy messenger and invited into Christopher Columbus’ inner circle to help guide the expedition to the “New World.” There should be no better time to strike than in such close quarters with the enemy, but Tad struggles to act as he discovers the common ground between them.In 2112, the fate of the future hangs in the balance.
