Minnie Pouches in the MicroRealm — One Anxious Hero’s Big Rescue!

Posted on April 9, 2026 by Graphic Policy Team Leave a comment

Meet Minnie! Minnie is super-strong and super-anxious… but she’ll have to journey through the MicroRealm to save her best friends: her five pets! Top Shelf Productions is set to release the critter adventure, Minnie Pouches in the MicroRealm, available June 23! Middle grade readers are invited to crack open new worlds of adventure in this all-new graphic novel from Eisner-winner Caleb Goellner and Eric Lide.

Her parents are famous scientists and multiverse travel influencers…but Minnie Pouches hates being on camera. She feels too big, too shy, and too nervous. She can’t even finish an important middle school project! One day, when the pressure becomes too much, Minnie rage-quits her parents’ show and activates her stylish fanny pack to disappear into the MicroRealm. Now, far from home, she’ll dance through encounters with greasy pizza dinosaurs, angry laser robots, and toothy pool floats to push past her fears, find her missing pets, and save the entire family.

Minnie Pouches in the MicroRealm will be available wherever books are sold, as a full-color softcover graphic novel (ISBN: 978-1-60309-590-7) as well as a digital edition, on June 23, 2026, for a list price of $14.99.

The Muppets Noir #2

IT’S TIME TO MEET THE SUSPECTS! After succumbing to the consciousness-clobbering effects of a brick to the noggin, Kermit the Frog finds himself walking a new beat in Dreamland as private investigator Flip Minnow. His first assignment? Tracking down Meringue Crustworth, the missing daughter of pie magnate Dolores Crustworth. Seems like a straightforward enough case, but there’s something about the situation that isn’t sitting well with Flip — something that goes far beyond his inexplicably deep-seated aversion to pies. Joining forces with the friendly beat cop Officer O’Bear, the green P.I. starts running down leads, which eventually steer the pair into an oddly unappetizing pie shop that leaves Flip’s phobias untriggered. But what the flatfoot and the gumshoe discover inside turns out to be even stranger than a narcoleptic frog in a trench coat! Master storyteller ROGER LANGRIDGE continues his heart-felt return to the Muppet realm with The Muppets Noir #2 — featuring sharply shadowed covers from both the author and guest artists JAE LEE & JUNE CHUNG!

Amelia Shadows Vol. 1: Amelia Shadows and the New Head Ghost

(w) Matthew Dow Smith (a) Matthew Dow Smith

Amelia Shadows has never had what you might call a “normal” childhood. For one thing, her dad’s the most powerful dark magician in the world. And for another, she’s spent her entire life in a house filled with ghosts and monsters and incredibly dangerous magical objects! As far as Amelia’s concerned, her life’s actually pretty cool.

When Amelia and her cat, Clara, aren’t having adventures or dealing with dimensional portals in the pantry, she’s learning to be a dark magician, just like her dad, with the help of a ghost tutor named Gustave. You’d think a ghost tutor named Gustave would be pretty fun, but he’s actually pretty boring.

And if a boring ghost tutor wasn’t bad enough, now Amelia’s dad has hired another ghost to oversee things, Hans. Which wouldn’t be that bad, except Hans has very strong opinions about how things should be around the house. This new head ghost has got to go, and Amelia may have a surprising ally…

A Robot. A Penguin. And a Multiversal Threat That Only Friendship Can Stop.

Posted on April 4, 2026 by Graphic Policy Team Leave a comment

When a villain threatens every universe, only two unlikely best friends can stop him with the power of courage, trust, and joy. Papercutz presents Xanar & Mr. Tuxedo, the middle-grade graphic novel that throws two wildly different heroes into a collapsing multiverse, where courage, trust, and joy may be the only things holding reality together.

Written by Sean Ryan, with art by Giulia Giacomino, colors by Valerio Alloro, and letters by Eisner, Ringo, and GLAAD Media award-winning Lucas Gattoni, Xanar & Mr. Tuxedo brings together a boyish, optimistic robot and a gruff, one-eyed penguin in a story that moves across worlds, tones, and genres without losing its heart.

Friendship is a powerful thing. Hailing from two different universes, Xanar and Mr. Tuxedo are brought together because of Roy Higgins, a powerful sorcerer, determined to eradicate his sworn enemy in every single reality. Roy’s singular focus on his foe has made him paranoid, angry, violent and mean. His corrupting influence threatens to destroy every universe in existence. The only two that can put a stop to Roy, through bravery, hope, trust and joy, are new best friends, Xanar and Mr. Tuxedo.

Perfect for readers ages 10-14, Xanar & Mr. Tuxedo goes on sale July 7, 2026, in paperback (ISBN: 9781545827079 | $14.99) and hardcover (ISBN: 9781545827086 | $19.99) formats.

Twin sisters Sloane and Ash are two peas in a pod, and they do everything together: watch movies, attend classes, and most importantly, draw! So when the summer animation classes of their dreams are about to start, they can barely contain their excitement!

Well…Ash is excited but Sloane is surprised to find she isn’t as jubilant about it, which makes no sense, since she loves art. Meanwhile, Ash discovers that just because you love something, doesn’t mean you’ll automatically be good at it, and she struggles under the weight of her own expectations and those of her teacher’s. Soon, the trials of challenging classwork and new friendships drive a wedge between the twins. Can their bond survive the summer?

After losing her father in an attack by the evil Tikbalang, Mage and her best friend, Squalo (a shark), set off an important quest far from home to honor her father’s last wish—find the Bakunawa, the guardian of the sea. But Mage and Squalo don’t know where to find the Bakunawa. And they’re being hunted by the minions of Ventrolio, the nightmare maker, who’s determined to find Mage no matter what. When their search leads them to tales of an angry bakunawa that would rather destroy ships and attack sailors than help them, they’re confused. Why would Mage’s father send them to someone so dangerous? And can Mage and Squalo uncover the truth before the Bakunawa unleashes her wrath and plunges all of Mundo into chaos?

By Kara Bodegón-Hikino, Squalo & Mage vs. The Rage of The Bakunawa is an epic, middle grade graphic novel debut chock-full of video game references, Filipino folklore, and fun, funky friendship.

And even if they do, will all of their combined strength be enough to overcome Demona’s Quackronomicon-enhanced chaos? Find out in the explosive finale that is Gargoyles/Darkwing Duck #4 — energetically encoded by creative companions GREG WEISMAN, TAD STONES, and CIRO CANGIALOSI, with properly portentous covers provided by STONES, CANGIALOSI, CARLO LAURO, and IVAN BIGARELLA!
