Posted on July 23, 2026 by Graphic Policy Team

In the lead up to Comic-Con International San Diego, Comixology and Mad Cave Studios have announced that they have expanded their agreement to bring more Comixology Originals titles to print. In addition to the recently announced original graphic novel Quiet, by celebrity baker and cookbook author Kim-Joy with art by Alti arriving digitally this September and in print in summer 2027, the companies are excited to announce the acclaimed digital releases Major Thomás, Endless, She’s Running on Fumes, and The Tormented will be published in paperback and available for the first time in both bookstores and comic shops in 2027.

Mad Cave will bring the following Comixology Originals books to print in 2027:

MAJOR THOMÁS

Written by Omar Morales with art by Mau Mora and Serg Acuna
January 12, 2027 / January 13, 2027 — First Time In Print!

A Mexican-American farm worker becomes a NASA astronaut and just as his dreams begin to blast off, he gets lost in the middle of a space war, marooned with crushing regret about his life choices. With a foreword by Astronaut José M. Hernandez, Major Thomás is an inspiring hero’s journey for young people around the world.

ENDLESS

Written by Curt Pires and various artists
February 23, 2027 / February 24, 2027 — First Time In Print!

When a heist to steal an expensive piece of scientific technology goes wrong, Henry Quan, a selfish career criminal, is unmoored in both space and time. Thrown in and out of parallel lives across the multiverse, he struggles to find his way back home and find out what exactly happened to him.

Each of the five issues reveals a new life in a new universe, drawn by a different amazing artist—including Diana Nguyen, Ryan Quackenbush, Rockwell White, Jacoby Salcedo, and Stefano Cardoselli.

SHE’S RUNNING ON FUMES

Written by Dennis Hopeless with art by Tyler Jenkins
March 23, 2027 / March 24, 2027 — First Time In Print!

A desperate mom will do anything to keep her family afloat—and grand theft auto is just the start.
It’s summer 1984 in Deepwater, Missouri, and Jean’s husband has just scrambled his own eggs in a horrific car wreck. That, Jean can handle. The fifty thousand dollars worth of cocaine missing from his trunk? That’s a little harder. What’s a good woman to do?

She’ll start by throwing “good” out the window. Stealing cars and chopping them up makes a living, if not a great one. But the criminal life isn’t exactly family-friendly, and it sure as hell ain’t easy.

Inspired by real events from writer Dennis Hopeless’ own childhood, She’s Running on Fumes is a heartfelt, bittersweet exploration of what keeps a family together.

THE TORMENTED

Written by Chuck Austen with art by Patrick Olliffe
May 18, 2027 / May 19, 2027 — First Time In Print!

Ryan Auster’s parents were famous demon hunters while he was growing up, but unlike his father, mother, and sister, Ryan never had “the gift” to “see” the paranormal, so they left him behind when they went out to investigate. But Ryan was only hiding his gifts out of fear—fear of the things in the darkness, fear of his own, abusive father—until one life-altering night his fears prove right, something goes horribly wrong, and his entire family is brutally murdered by something… not human.

Instantly orphaned, Ryan is raised by various foster families, until—as an adult, he finds his paranormal abilities have unexpectedly gotten him an offer to host a ghost hunting reality TV show. He desperately needs the money, but he knows that if he takes the job, using his “gifts” will make him visible to whatever it was that gruesomely butchered his family, marking him, and his newfound friends on the show, for the same fate.

Too broke to say “no”, Ryan agrees to host the show, but his worst fears are realized when his “powers” do indeed make him a beacon that draws—not just the beings that killed his family—but all the many horrors that live in the darkness.

SDCC 2026: The Long-Lost Warrior Finally Finds Its Way to Readers Through Visitors Media

Posted on July 22, 2026 by Graphic Policy Team

Originally conceived for the pages of Heavy Metal Magazine, Warrior is finally making its long-awaited debut through Visitors Media, bringing an 80-page sci-fi adventure packed with heart, humor, cinematic action, and just enough existential dread to keep readers guessing.

Written by Denver-based author and publisher Hal Jay Greene and illustrated by Joel Ojeda, with a cover by Daxiong, the 80-page sci-fi comedy adventure also features an expanding lineup of exclusive guest artist variant covers from celebrated comic creators, with additional contributors to be revealed throughout the Kickstarter campaign.

When a space-hardened freighter pilot and her young droid companion take on an unlikely passenger–a tiny, battered robot with a penchant for tall tales–they dismiss its claim of being the commander of a race of “great warriors” as nothing more than delusions of grandeur.

But when a terrifying, bio-engineered horror starts hunting them, they begin to wonder if the bot’s outlandish claims might hold a germ of truth.

Could this tiny being really hold the key to unimaginable treasure? Or is it simply a relic of the Old Empire with a hyperactive imagination?

Warrior delivers a tale packed with heart, humor, and a healthy dose of existential dread.

One of the Kickstarter campaign’s signature rewards will be an exclusive audio adaptation from the award-winning team at Soundbooth Theater, known for producing some of today’s most celebrated science fiction and fantasy audiobooks. Narrated by acclaimed voice actor Jeff Hays, whose performance of Matt Dinniman’s multimillion-selling Dungeon Crawler Carl series has earned a devoted following, the production showcases Hays’ remarkable range as he brings dozens of distinct character voices to life. The exclusive audio edition offers fans a one-of-a-kind way to experience Warrior, making it a standout collectible for both comic readers and audiobook enthusiasts.

Inspired by Star Trek: Lower Decks and The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Warrior blends sharp humor, cosmic action, and outrageous characters into a fast-paced, standalone graphic novel presented in an oversized premium format. The graphic novel marks the latest expansion of Greene’s growing Across Space universe, a creator-owned science fiction saga spanning graphic novels, tabletop games, and multimedia storytelling. Through Visitors Media, he continues expanding the interconnected universe for longtime science fiction fans and newcomers alike.

The Kickstarter campaign for Warrior launches in Fall 2026. Stop by Visitors Media at Booth #1630 during San Diego Comic-Con 2026 (July 23-26) for a first look at the campaign, and sign up on the LaunchBoom pre-launch page to be notified when it goes live and be among the first to access exclusive rewards, collector editions, and campaign-only extras.
