The empire is on fire (literally), and amid the chaos, a band of outcasts dares to rob Rome blind. Circus Maximus, a brutal, cinematic historical heist set during the fall of Nero’s reign, lands this November from Mad Cave Studios. Written by Mark Sable, with art by Giorgio Pontrelli, colors by Emilio Lecce, and letters by Dave Sharpe, Circus Maximus is a blood-and-smoke-soaked epic where vengeance is personal and freedom comes at a steep price—featuring Cover A by Paul Azaceta and Cover B by Francesco Francavilla.

Rome. 64 AD.  The most daring heist in history is being planned by an unlikely crew – a former slave, a Vestal Virgin, a charioteer and a disgraced architect – each with their own personal motives.  While Rome is distracted by the chariot racing and gladiatorial games of the Circus Maximus, the crew plans to rob the Imperial treasury under the Temple of Saturn.  But when Emperor Nero sets fire to the city, they’ll be lucky to escape his wrath with their lives, let alone the loot.

Circus Maximus #1 hits comic shops and digital platforms on November 5, 2025, and FOC is October 13, 2025.
