A Sinister Fate Awaits in New Sci Fi Thriller Eden

Humanoids has announced a brand new sci fi thriller Eden with story by Alain Bismut and Abel Ferry, written by Christopher Sebela, illustrated by Marc Laming, lettered by Troy Peteri, and colored by Lee Loughridge, about a distant future where a desperate man attempts to save his family from destruction on an unstable Earth but finds that he may have doomed them to an even more sinister fate by sneaking away on a spaceship to the fabled Eden. Available in April 2024.

The Oximenko family are scavengers forced to take drastic measures to survive in a future where scarce resources and economic and environmental decline has caused society to crumble.

When a local family that very closely resembles the Oximenkos wins a lottery to be transported to the safe-haven planet of EDEN, Gabe Oximenko hatches a plan to swap out his family with the winners, getting them a trip to paradise.

All goes according to plan until, midway through the journey, the family’s deception is revealed…but they’re not the only ones with a secret.

Gabe and his family must once again fight for survival, but this time far away from home, in the cold vastness of space, with an entire transport ship looking to make sure they never make it to Eden…or anywhere else!

From the mind’s eye of master storyteller Cullen Bunn (The Sixth Gun, Basilisk) and rising star Arjuna Susini (Made Men) comes a darkly glamorous tale of bone-splintering terror at the intersection of shadow and light… dream and nightmare… life and the grim specter of Death himself.

After weeks of grueling rehearsals, a new production is set to begin at the famed Requiem theatre: Razide’s Lament, three acts of gothic horror set inside a haunted castle with a story that some say is more than mere fantasy. Under the stern rule of a dedicated but temperamental director, the script seems to be ever-changing, and, more mysterious still, our lead actress has found herself cast in the role of a lifetime without so much as an audition.

Memento Mori

Writer/Artist/Cover by TIITU TAKALO
ON-SALE MAY 24, 2023 | $24.99 | 232 pgs. | FULL COLOR

In Memento Mori, celebrated Finnish graphic novelist Tiitu Takalo chronicles her sudden, unexpected cerebral hemorrhage and the long road to recovery she had to travel.

It is a dramatic story about a life turned upside down overnight: a ruptured cerebral aneurysm, the days and nights spent in an intensive care unit, and the long, painful recovery that led the artist to reflect on her life both past and present.

Much more than a story of survival, Memento Mori is a philosophical and psychological journey told with exceptional honesty and compassion. A deeply moving and insightful graphic novel from a master of the medium that is also ultimately a celebration of life.

Wren Booker was three when she was found alone and covered in blood on the streets of New York. Since that day, she’s been haunted by the childhood she can’t remember…until decades later when she finds a cryptic website streaming multiple CCT feeds from strange rooms in a ruined building. Something clicks, setting off hidden memories that lead her back to a place she’s seen in lifelong nightmares. Hunting for answers, Wren breaks in and finds herself lost in the camera-filled dark mazes of a decayed social experiment known only as BLINK…which she quickly discovers is not abandoned at all. But what should be a foreign nightmare-scape feels all too familiar for Wren as she follows her obsession all the way down, piecing together the story of BLINK—as well as her own ties to it.

Eisner-nominated Christopher Sebela (Dirtbag Rapture), Hayden Sherman (Dark Spaces: Wildfire), and Nick Filardi (Rogue Planet) team up for a found-footage horror where uncovering your past will leave you trapped inside it.

Two hundred years in the future, the survivors of an environmental cataclysm took refuge underground.

Life is hard enough, but an overzealous mining company, PERCH, wants to get their claws on this new underground frontier. And they won’t hesitate to bulldoze any sewerfolk that get in their way.

Caught in the middle is Cricket, a young girl desperately searching for her family that fled underground. Join Cricket as she explores this savage new world to find her parents and unlock the secrets of a past long forgotten in the three-part graphic novel series, KNEE DEEP.
