The Girls Adrift Among the Stars

By Yuiko Agarizaki Illustration by Fuwan Sono

AN INTERGALACTIC VOYAGE FOR A PLANET TO CALL HOME

A horse-drawn carriage races across the cosmos. Or rather, a spaceship made to look like one. At the helm are a pair of refugees who fled Earth after pollution rendered it uninhabitable: Ridley, a scientist and the designer of this peculiar spacecraft, and Watari, an accomplished martial artist with debilitating shyness. This eccentric duo has but one goal—to find a stable planet where they can settle down on!

However, every world the two visit is a little off… A planet with a god that can revive the dead, a planet where lucky people reign supreme, a planet lined with endless libraries… Can the girls navigate the unique challenges posed by each bizarre world and live to reach the next leg of their journey? And is there really a replacement for Earth waiting to be found among the stars?

Book cover featuring two anime-style girls against a cosmic background, with a horse-drawn carriage and a celestial theme. The title is displayed in both Japanese and English with the note 'Cover Not Final' in the corner.

Dungeon Master: Creating a Hot Spring Dungeon

By Amahara Illustration by Jun

COME ONE, COME ALL, TO THE MOST POPULAR DUNGEON AROUND!

So there I am on my death bed when a literal devil comes to make a deal with me. I get a second shot at life, and in exchange, I’m on the hook for designing the most enticing dungeon her world has ever seen. Pretty sweet deal, if you ask me. Let’s see, how do we get people to explore the dungeon? How about if we offer hot springs capable of

rejuvenating skin, reversing the effects of aging, and granting you crazy strength? Whoops… Looks like our baths are too popular and are causing some geopolitical strife. Well, it’s just another day in the life of a dungeon master!

But this iteration of the war is built on lies. Mages and Heroic Spirits gather upon a false stage. And though they grow increasingly aware that something is amiss, they play their roles all

the same. Truth and fiction no longer matter, for these competitors fight not for the Grail, but to see their personal convictions through to the end. But when the final drop of blood is shed and the battle draws to a close, what secrets will this enigmatic conflict uncover…?

NYCC 2026: Ize Press Serves Up Two Tasty New Titles

To satisfy the appetite of readers hungry for more Korean webcomics in print, Ize Press announced two mouthwatering new titles joining its lineup at the Yen Press Industry Panel at New York Comic Con: Regas and Eat Before You Go.

Regas

Art by Daengmeong
Adapted by Lee kkeut
Original Story by samk

In a kingdom where the royal bloodline inherits the blessings of a dragon, an exceptionally powerful crown prince is born—but the trade-off for such power seems to have been his sanity! Loathed by his own mother and feared by his servants, the feral child looks to be a lost cause even for the Regas, those who specialize in taming the coldhearted monarchs. That is, until a jovial man by the name of Abel appears. Trained in the traditional ways of the Regas, Abel is patient, sturdy in body, and determined to teach the young boy about the beauty of the world. With a political storm brewing around them, will Abel finally be able to open up the prince’s heart?

Regas is an ongoing Boys Love (BL) manhwa that explores the profound bond of caring for someone who has faced a lifetime of mistreatment, alongside the devastating heartbreak of losing the one person you finally opened up to. While his connection to his Regas and a tragic loss may be exactly what Karas needs to unlock and control his true powers, it comes at a heavy cost. Even though the prince now has nothing left to fear, no one but his fated Regas can truly open his heart again. Regas is perfect for readers looking for fantasy BL comics with fated partners, royal politics, obsessive characters, and plenty of comedy to balance the drama. This reincarnation romantasy offers a compelling mix of high-stakes adventure and tantalizing romantic tension. The webcomic has over two million views across the Lezhin, Tappytoon, Manta, and Tapas platforms.

Eat Before You Go

Adapted by Kim Haema
Original Story by Ko Doo Yeol

After thirty grueling years, the hero, Miro Laikas, defeated the demon lord and made his way back to his own world—only to find his home also overrun by dangerous creatures. Luckily, the people of Earth seem to have it covered, leaving him free to live in peace. In fact, with an abundance of this new variety of ingredients, he can finally devote his time and energy to his one true passion—cooking the most delicious meals ever with monster parts!

Set in a world of hunters and gates, Eat Before You Go is a slice-of-life fantasy manhwa about a tired hero who opens a restaurant after defeating a demon lord. He enjoys a peaceful cooking life, feeding his customers delicious meals, raising a baby dragon, and occasionally defeating tough enemies from the shadows. With a fresh helping of creative dishes using monster ingredients, Eat Before You Go offers a flavorful adventure for readers to dig into with its charming characters, inventive cuisine, and dynamic artwork that makes the action leap off the page. Digitally serialized on WEBTOON with over eight million views, Eat Before You Go is perfect for fans of food-focused fantasy comics like Delicious in Dungeon. Rather than making the act of cooking the adventure, Eat Before You Go sets itself apart by making the restaurant a peaceful counterpoint to a world filled with monsters, hunters, and superpowered battles.

Announced earlier this year, Marvel Comics and Lucasfilm Publishing are bringing two legendary universes together for the first time in Star Wars | Marvel: Hope Assembles, a historic five-issue limited series launching January 2027. Written by Kevin Smith and drawn by David Marquez, the series unites the heroes and villains of the Marvel’s Universe with the galaxy far, far away in an unprecedented pop culture collision.

The anticipated series took the spotlight at New York Comic Con as Marvel Comics revealed new covers and artwork at the Marvel Comics: House of Ideas Panel, with Kevin Smith making a surprise appearance onstage to share more about the project.

Among the reveals was a breathtaking cover by the legendary Alex Ross spotlighting a team-up for the ages: Luke Skywalker and Spider-Man.

NYCC 2026: Timothy Zahn joins the Federation with Star Trek: Roc’s Egg graphic novel

IDW Publishing has announced acclaimed author Timothy Zahn is joining the final frontier with a new original graphic novel, Star Trek: Roc’s Egg, set to release October 2027. The legendary science fiction and fantasy author is best known for his New York Times-bestselling Star Wars: Thrawn trilogy and his work as creative consultant for the Disney+ miniseries​ Ahsoka, as well as the Hugo Award-winning Cascade Point. Zahn will be teaming up with celebrated comic artist Ángel Hernández to bring this all-new Star Trek adventure to life.

This announcement arrives as IDW Publishing continues to celebrate the 60th Anniversary of Star Trek.

Something is rotten on Deep Space 9.

When a mysterious artifact known as a Roc’s Egg arrives on the station—and is seemingly destroyed in transit—a Federation JAG investigation is called in to uncover what really happened. But the deeper the team digs, the stranger the mystery becomes: a secret auction, a station full of wealthy collectors and dangerous criminals, a priceless artifact that may not be what it seems, and a murder waiting to happen.

From acclaimed author Timothy Zahn and artist Ángel Hernández comes Star Trek: Roc’s Egg, a twisty new mystery set aboard Deep Space 9 where everyone has something to hide—and the truth may be more valuable than the treasure itself.

Graphic featuring the title 'Star Trek RCS Egg' with the names 'Timothy Zahn' and 'Angel Hernandez' above it, set against a vibrant background with colorful streaks, indicating a sci-fi theme. Text includes 'Coming Soon.'
