Welcome to modern-day political paranoia, where Earth’s greatest hero might also be its greatest fraud. Mad Cave Studios has announced War Wolf—a retro-pulp sci-fi saga from award-winning writer Steve Orlando and celebrated artist Marco Perugini. Colored by Pascal Tora, lettered by Lucas Gattoni, and featuring a striking Cover A by David Talaski and a jaw-dropping variant by Mohamed Sama, this pulse-pounding 8-issue limited series refuses to be contained.

After he fends off an alien invasion, Thomas Bruin goes from a nobody security guard to Earth’s greatest hero! He’s got a supercharged launchpad and no ceiling. Bruin rises from celebrity to congress, then to the head of the planet’s first orbital security force. He’s married into one of the country’s most powerful political families, he’s surfing a wave of endorsements, and he’s the very symbol of human resilience. So why is Bruin nervous? Because only he knows his great victory is a lie. When the aliens return to Earth, stronger than ever, Bruin has no choice but to be the hero he’s fooled the whole world into thinking he is…or die trying.

A darkly funny, deeply human story about ego and legacy, War Wolf is a tense, thrilling, and unflinchingly timely sci-fi saga for the age of misinformation, media manipulation, and post-truth politics. Brutal, satirical, and razor-sharp, it’s made for readers who crave high-stakes sci-fi, morally grey characters, and twists that cut deep.
