Baseball, the Bronx, and Britain in Medieval from Neil Kleid and Alex Cormack

Xeric award-winning writer Neil Kleid and artist Alex Cormack go Medieval this November with a bombastic new series about baseball, the Bronx, and sixth-century Britain! Written and lettered by Kleid with art and colors by Alex Cormack and edits by Sarah LittMedieval issue #1 (of 5) debuts on November 11, 2025, from Amazon’s comiXology Originals exclusive digital content line.

Loud, brash, boisterous and over the top,Kleid takes a swing at something very different and out of his wheelhouse andhits a home run with Medieval, his most brutal, bloody, and vulgar – yet still emotionally grounded—comic series to date.

Baseball fan Danny Landau and his girlfriend Gina Rabinowitz attend a baseball game to watch their favorite Bronx team take on their most notorious rivals. After being hit by a line drive, Danny wakes up in sixth-century England, out of time with no skills other than a knack for construction, a love for baseball, and a penchant for violence. After spending the next year drinking and fighting, seeking a way back home to his girl and New York, Danny’s unique form of loud-mouthed chivalry – and “The Babe,” his custom-designed iron baseball bat – gains the attention of Camelot, and Arthur’s Knights of the Round Table, bringing him helm-to-boot with King Arthur, Lancelot, and Merlin, the notoriously wily magician who may have Danny’s ticket home… but whose true intentions aren’t trustworthy! When cultures clash and their meeting takes a violent turn, Lancelot suggests a Grand Tournament of valor, gallantry, and might as Arthur Pendragon of Camelot and Danny Landau from the Bronx – an ale-swilling, bat-wielding brawler – engage in a battle of the ages.

Kleid and Cormack let er’ rip in this violent, mature original comic about an irreverent, would-be, time-lost hero ready to go medieval on Camelot in order to find his way back home. As the 2025 baseball postseason comes to a close, Medieval will keep readers entertained well after the last inning and in anticipation of the 2026 baseball season!
