Freaks’ Squeele Vol. 1

by Florent Madoux
Hardcover, $24.99
On Sale: June 16, 2026

Imagine a universe where universities exist to not only train future masked vigilantes to manage their superpowers and develop their heroism, but to master their image in the media. This is the world of Freaks’ Squeele. You’ll meet Chance the demonette, Shadow the werewolf stuck in his animal form, and Xiong Mao, the model student who has no powers but is a hard worker. At the Academic Faculty of Hero Studies, these three first-year students will discover the joys of university life, the merciless competition of other students, sadistic professors, and the stress of exams.

Part X-Men Academy, part Dungeons & Dragons, this celebrated series by author Florent Maudoux is a unique blend of manga and Western comics, which has spawned multiple spinoffs in its native Europe and beyond.

Frank Castle is a one-man army locked, loaded and ready to take down anyone in his way.

The Punisher makes his return by eliminating the ruthless Ma Gnucci’s crime family — pursued by the NYPD’s two-detective Punisher Task Force, crazed contract killer the Russian and super hero Daredevil…and emulated by three copycat killers who want to join forces with him. The over-the-top action builds toward a showdown in the apartment building Frank shares with his colorful fellow residents. Castle must survive to finish his vendetta, making sure his neighbors aren’t caught in the crossfire while evil is punished. With this series, writer Garth Ennis and artist Steve Dillon — together with inker Jimmy Palmiotti and iconic cover artist Tim Bradstreet — gave the Punisher a redefining fresh start that once more made him a force to be reckoned with!

COLLECTING: Punisher (2000) #1-12.

Story: Garth Ennis

Ram V, Evan Cagle, and Anand Radhakrishnan reveal Deicidium

Posted on by Leave a comment

Co-creators Ram V, Evan Cagle and Anand Radhakrishnan (RK) have revealed a sneak peek and details about their new graphic novel series, Deicidium. The creators recently announced a groundbreaking six-figure book deal with French publisher Morgen for worldwide rights to publish the series, and a deal with Image Comics to publish it in English Language territories. Frequent co-collaborators V, Cagle, and RK are setting the stage on a global scale; the series will be published around the world simultaneously, with the goal of cultivating an international fan base. Esteemed editor Eric Harburn, who worked with V on the critically acclaimed book The Many Deaths of Laila Starr, is editing the graphic novel series. Volume 1 will hit shelves in late 2026 and there will be a preview of it available on Free Comic Book Day in May. 

Deicidium will span media and mediums, combining the strengths of V, Cagle, and RK’s lauded creations to date with disparate influences across comic books, Euro bandes dessinées, and Manga/manhwa into a singular vision of gods returning to Earth… and humanity’s need to destroy them. Fans of urban fantasy, epic sci-fi, world mythology, and character-driven action dramas will find a robust blend of these in Deicidium.

Featuring gorgeous black and white interiors, Deicidium is set in a future world governed by the marriage between Theocracies and Corporations. Worship is currency, faith is power. Welcome to the industry of belief. In this new found stability, old powers once more return to the world. Gods of fire, wind, volcanoes, jaguars—gods of mischief, stories, love and war—manifesting through everyday people. With the established hierarchy threatened, the powers that be decide to find these newly made gods and kill them. A conflict of control versus freedom. Love and worship. Born of the differing ideological ideas that those who can save us live above us versus those we love and admire will come, as they once did, from within us.

Deicidium Volume 1 will be published globally in late 2026. 

Was That Normal? captures the awkwardness of trying to get to know someone and dating

Philip is searching.
For meaning. For connection. For someone to share a moment with.
By day, he works from a rented room. By night, he drifts through cafés and bars, dodging awkward chats with his landlady and hoping for something more. When he meets Gina, a local musician, things begin to shift. But relationships are messy, and Philip’s discomfort grows as he stumbles through miscommunications, emotional misfires, and the looming presence of Gina’s intense ex.

Add in a crumbling tower, gong baths (whatever they are), and the quiet ache of modern life, and you have a story that’s tender, funny, and deeply human.

Two best friends. One timeline. Zero room for mistakes. Tyer and Herobear set off on a new adventure to save time. Part 1 of Saving Time. For fans of Herobear and the Kid Volume 1, Calvin and Hobbes and Superman for All Seasons.

“Who’s Henry really? And what has happened to him?? Thinking the days of magical surprises were behind him, Tyler is settling into life as a young hero with his red-caped, polar bear best friend, Herobear, when an unexpected event pulls him into his greatest adventure yet—Henry, the family’s loyal butler, has mysteriously vanished! With the added surprise help of Elmo, it’s up to Tyler and Herobear now to figure out what happened to their friend…only they might learn a lot more about Henry than they initially thought as their extraordinary quest takes them through the very fabric of time itself, only to find themselves face to face with Tyler’s heritage, beloved family members AND flying mechanical penguins with diabolical jack-in-the-boxes! For the villainous inventor Von Klon has everything to do with Henry’s disappearance. He wants revenge, and Tyler’s family and friends need Herobear and the kid to stop him! As they chase Von Klon into the unraveled past, Tyler faces powerful questions: What does it mean to carry a legacy? Can a kid shape the course of history? Is fruitcake a good alternate Christmas gift? With Herobear’s courage and his own heart guiding him, can Tyler defend his family’s legacy from being destroyed and ultimately save Time?”
