Vanishing Point #3 has some interesting aspects and potential but overall falls flat
In “Cell Structure”, a floating research station performs horrifying experiments on alien prisoners to discover the common elements of life and all living things. The brainchild of Mark Russell, Vanishing Point is an anthology series of short stories that are part science fiction and part existential horror, with an exceptional roster of artists tackling each tale. These are stories with a twist in which the twist is not the point of the story, but a beginning point from which to ask what it means to be alive.

Mark Russell and Mark London Explore the Dystopia We’re Already Living in Terrorbytes
No algorithm is safe. Mad Cave Studios has announced Terrorbytes, a chilling sci-fi horror anthology that unplugs the comforts of modern tech to expose the real cost beneath the surface. Co-written by Eisner, GLAAD, and Ringo Award-winner Mark Russell and Mad Cave’s own CEO Mark London, this ongoing series launches Fall 2025 with a revolving cast of top-tier artists and storytellers—and a mission to make you question the very screens you’re reading from.
In an age where technology intertwines seamlessly with our everyday lives, Terrorbytes delves deeper into the shadows of our digital existence, exploring the uncharted territories of human consciousness shaped by technological evolution. This new series pushes the boundaries of speculative fiction, presenting stories that challenge the very essence of identity, morality, and reality in a hyper-connected world. In the first issue, a headset that lets users relive their greatest memories at the moment of their death extracts a brutal price.
Each issue delivers standalone stories that tap into our worst digital-age fears—stories that feel uncomfortably close to home, yet set just far enough in the future to feel like warnings. This is Tales from the Loop meets EC Comics, a jolt to the system through brutal, brilliant storytelling that explores surveillance, AI ethics, online radicalization, deepfakes, virtual reality, and everything we never meant to hand over. The upcoming issues will feature standout art from Juan Doe, Alberto Ponticelli, Val Halvorsen, and Felix Ruiz, each bringing their own unique style to the series.
So log off. Terrorbytes #1 hits shelves in Fall 2025.

Warm Fusion #1 is pretty standard neo-noir but with some interesting details and nice visuals
New York City, over two decades into the future, has been devastated by crime, ongoing storms, radiation from a terrorist incident in Times Square and the genetic mutations caused by a life-saving “cure.” After a series of murders rip through the city’s brothels, an escort named Vin Young, who cosplays as Snow White- and is one of the generation of deformed victims – decides to help find the killer, or killers, responsible, reluctantly joining forces with Jarrod Hannover, the lone cop assigned to the case. The two are led to a biotech megacorp launching a cellular metal called Warm Fusion – a pioneering technology meant to replace prosthetics limbs – and soon confront the sociopathic scientist Nicholas Fleischer, his monstrous alter-ego Mr. Barnaby, and the hideous monster that he’s been secretly creating.
