The world has drowned. Denver survived… barely. Mad Cave Studios has announced Denver, a gritty and gratuitous thriller from acclaimed writers Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray, featuring art and colors by Pier Brito, letters by Bill Tortolini, and covers by Amanda Conner, Pier Brito, Uko Smith, and Dave Johnson.

In a near‑future world drowned by rising oceans, Denver survives as one of the last tightly controlled safe zones on the planet where every resource is rationed, and every citizen is monitored. Max Flynn, a veteran border officer struggling to protect his family under these unforgiving rules, is shattered when his wife is suddenly kidnapped. A mysterious enemy forces him to betray Denver from within or lose her forever. As Max assembles a trusted crew and descends into the city’s underbelly, his desperate hunt threatens to expose the cracks in Denver’s rigid order and ignite a reckoning that could end the last safe city on Earth.

A grounded dystopian thriller in the vein of Escape From New York, East of West, and Children of Men, Denver delivers a brutal survival story wrapped in political paranoia, collapsing infrastructure, and human desperation.

Denver #1 goes on sale August 26, 2026, with Final Order Cutoff on August 3.
