Dark Horse Announces Canto: The Clockwork Chronicles

One of comics’ most beloved all-ages heroes sets sail once again!

In this all-new ongoing series, the small knight with a big heart travels the Unnamed World to help those in need. That mission takes him to the mysterious Forgotten Isles, where jungle fauna mixes with strange machines. What happened to the Forgotten People who once lived there?

Since its debut in 2019, Canto has captured readers’ hearts through stories of courage, friendship, and the belief that even the smallest hero can change the world. Now, Booher and Zucker begin a brand-new era perfect for new readers while staying true to the heart that has made the series a modern classic.

Canto: The Clockwork Chronicles #1 features an exciting lineup of covers, with a main cover by Drew Zucker and Vittorio Astone, and variants by Duncan FegredoMr. Oz, and the first of a series of collectible “vintage pulp” incentive covers from Lukas Ketner.

Perfect for longtime fans and first-time readers alike, Canto: The Clockwork Chronicles delivers a thrilling new adventure filled with imagination, unforgettable characters, and a tiny tin hero whose kindness is every bit as powerful as his courage—a must-read for fans of Kaya, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Usagi Yojimbo, Amulet, and D’Orc.

Canto: The Clockwork Chronicles #1 goes on sale November 18, 2026.

Neverlanders: Get Lost is well worth the wait and expands the world of Peter Pan in interesting ways

Against all odds, Bee and the new Lost Ones have managed to save Neverland from the villainous Peter Pan. All that’s left to do is relax in paradise . . . or is it?

When a mysterious rot is discovered at the edge of the island, the fun and games come crashing to a halt. The Lost Ones must face a horrifying new reality: The magic tree, source of Neverland’s power, is dying. Desperate to save the only real home they’ve ever known, the crew must team up with an old friend of Neverland and set sail on a daring new quest for a cure. And they’ll have to find it quickly, because with every second they’re away, they run the risk of growing up too much to ever return. With their hard-fought new life on the line, this gang of perpetual youths might need more than faith, trust, and pixie dust to survive.

Young Adults will dig the magic of Hollow Magic from Mars Lauderbaugh

Raised in the world of fey, seventeen-year-old Rosefinch has the ability to lift curses with nothing but a twist of her fingers. But when a witch’s magic is left long enough in the fey realm, it becomes supercharged, painful to use, and potentially even dangerous.

Following a rumor that the village of Harp is home to a witch who might be able to help control her magic, Rosefinch discovers an ancient ruined castle with the inhabitants long gone; the only remaining soul a knight cursed to stand a frozen guard at the entrance. The magic she uses to free them melts more than just the ice, and soon, Rosefinch is falling for this charming stranger. But Thierry has secrets of their own, as do other members of the Harp family still hidden within the castle walls. The Harp witch’s wicked magic ripped this family apart for a reason, and Rosefinch must find a way to stop the curse or she’ll lose Thierry―and the chance to learn the truth about her magic―forever.
