Big Newport Studios and Z2 have announced a companion graphic novel to the Rancid-inspired, …And Out Comes the Wolf. Artist and writer Kevin Mellon will adapt the graphic novel from the feature script by Danny Peykoff and Jamie and Jason Neese, bringing new layers to the powerful story about fighting for survival in the East Bay punk scene during the 90s. The book series will come in several variant covers including the brand-new Z2 exclusive cover by Dan Mumford.

Also announced are the Deluxe editions of …And Out Comes the Wolf; presented in a 12” x 12” album-sized format with slipcover art and an official flash sheet tattoo by legend Beatleguese; an “Anarchy” ski-cap inspired by the film’s main character Brixton and four (4) art prints featuring work by Travis Knight, Dan Mumford, and Felipe Sobreiro.

It was also announced today that the writers and producers of the …And Out Comes the Wolf film will be in attendance at the Z2 Booth at the 2026 San Diego Comic Con International, which takes place July 23-27th, 2026 at the San Diego Convention Center.

Both the film and graphic novel are rooted in a gritty story of dreams colliding with the limitations of reality in a world of violence and desperation. Surrounded by poverty, drugs, and danger, two best friends hunt for an escape in a city blighted with decay. But the paths are littered with predators and temptations which threaten them at every turn and the unspoken question haunts them: Who manages to get away and who will be devoured when the wolf comes out?

The 100 page graphic novel will be released in a slipcased Deluxe Edition, with four art prints, an “Brixton Anarchy” ski-cap and an exclusive Wolf set of temporary tattoo flash. All editions will be available exclusively at Z2’s website to pre-order, while a standard-sized cover edition will be available via Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Target, Walmart, as well as other independent retailers and fine comic shops worldwide in the fall.
