SDCC 2026: Daniel Warren Johnson launches a new epic Chainkata this November

CHICKS. WITH CHAINSAWS. IN SPACE. On the heels of his chart-topping hit run on Transformers, Eisner Award winning Do A Powerbomb, and critically acclaimed The Moon Is Following Us, superstar writer/artist Daniel Warren Johnson will launch an all-new, eye-melting series titled Chainkata this November from Image Comics.

A decade’s worth of critically-acclaimed work has Chainkata poised to be one of the most anticipated launches of the year. Johnson first began turning heads with fan-favorites Space-Mullet (now brought to a wider market through Image Comics) and then Extremity and Murder Falcon through Image/Skybound. His quick ascension on those early works made him “one-to-watch” and put him on the industry’s collective radar. Do A Powerbomb shot Johnson to fame with his perfect blend of high-octane action and heart-string tugging storytelling and won him his first Eisner Award in the Best Publication for Teens category. His name headlined Skybound’s wildly successful multiple Eisner Award winning Transformers reinvigoration and, paired with another critical-darling in The Moon Is Following Us, made Johnson a household name. This rapid-fire success was rounded out by direct hits in Wonder Woman: Dead Earth, Beta Ray Bill: Argent Star, and of course Absolute Batman—further raising his profile and all ramping up to this incredible new series’ launch.

In Chainkata, Luma is a chainsaw-wielding warrior queen, seeking out an unknown power in the vastness of space. All she wants is to find peace, but violence and terror follow her through every black hole. The story will blend the epic, high-stakes sci-fi of Beta Ray Bill and Space-Mullet and with the character-building depth of Extremity and Do A Powerbomb. It is the culmination, and maximization, of Johnson’s craft and the perfect read for fans of action-packed comics with art that leaps from the page. 

Chainkata will see a full rollout of promotion and appearances planned at this month’s San Diego Comic-Con to kick off the excitement. This bold new vision is Johnson’s most ambitious project yet as he aims to bring sci-fi back to the forefront of comics and storytelling in a way never seen before. 

Chainkata #1 will be available at comic book shops in November 2026.

Where Wolf delivers bigger laughs, bigger monsters, and one VERY UNHAPPY werewolf in Curse of the Where Wolf

Following the breakout success of Where Wolf, writer Robert Saucedo, artist and colorist Debora Lancianese, and Harvey Award-winning letterer Jack Morelli reunite for Curse of the Where Wolf, an all-new horror-comedy graphic novel that pushes Larry Chaney’s misadventures into even stranger, bloodier, and surprisingly more heartfelt territory.

Originally debuting as a black-and-white webcomic through Fangoria before being collected by Encyclopocalypse Publications in 2023, Where Wolf quickly found an audience through its sharp blend of horror, comedy, and Texas-sized absurdity, while also attracting attention beyond comics through an active film and television option with producers Charles Horak and James Fino of Starburns Industries, executive producers of Rick and Morty, Anomalisa, HarmonQuest, and The Freak Brothers.

Being a werewolf sucks. Reporter Larry Chaney wanted to be a hero. Instead, he became a werewolf. Now, caught between incredible new powers and a desire to eat everything (and everyone) in sight, Larry must find a cure for his curse. Or die trying.

Blending the irreverent energy of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, the supernatural chaos of Dungeon Crawler Carl, and the horror-comedy sensibilities of I Hate This PlaceCurse of the Where Wolf delivers laugh-out-loud comedy, genuine emotion, and monstrous mayhem. Fans of What We Do in the Shadows and King of the Hill will feel right at home in Saucedo’s distinctly Texan world of cryptids, curses, and lovable losers.

Curse of the Where Wolf goes on sale August 7, 2026.

SDCC 2026: Oni Press, Rebellion, and The Nacelle Company Press Kick Off the Fight of the 22nd Century in Judge Dredd/Biker Mice From Mars!

In advance of Comic-Con International 2026 in San Diego, CA, the Nacelle Company,​ Oni Press, and Rebellion have announced a historic partnership, which officially begins today with the announcement of Judge Dredd/Biker Mice From Mars #1 –  launching the wreckage-strewn collision of the 22nd Century’s most feared lawman against its hardest-charging mutant outlaws in a no-holds-barred showdown for supremacy! Spanning two 40-page, deluxe format issues beginning in December 2026, Judge Dredd/Biker Mice From Mars #1 written by​ writers Dan Watters and Ryan O’Sullivan with art by​ Jordi Tarragona. The debut issue features covers by David Finch, Karl Kerschl, and Andrew Krahnke, and more to be revealed!

Launching directly out of the pages of Judge Dredd/Biker Mice From Mars #1, the upcoming publishing collaboration will also mark the first milestone in a newly cemented merchandising partnership between Rebellion and the Nacelle Company that will see Nacelle’s Consumer Product division create a new line of highly detailed action figures and other collectibles that will feature crossovers between The Biker Mice From Mars and Rebellion’s Judge Dredd characters. The first wave of figures will be made available for pre-order this fall and be released online and in stores in 2027.

Across the frayed cordons of space-time, the greed-fueled oligarchs Limburger and Karbunkle have identified a strange new world to plunder, but they never anticipated that Throttle, Vinnie, and Modo – the extraterrestrial anti-heroes known as the Biker Mice From Mars – would dare to foil their latest cross-dimensional conquest: the smog-clogged metropolis known as Mega-City One.

Now, the Martian brothers and their bikes are stranded between blocks in Mega-City’s endless, chaotic sprawl … alongside 400 million citizens who want them dead and the one man committed to delivering them to justice at any cost: the unforgiving Judge Dredd! The law has no place for vermin on Mega-City One’s streets … but when the Biker Mice’s otherworldly abilities draw the gaze of the inhuman entity calledJudge Death, man and mouse alike will be caught in the crosshairs in the first-ever Biker Mice From Mars crossover outside of the NacelleVerse!

To celebrate the new partnership, Nacelle, Oni Press, and Rebellion will be giving fans a special reward directly from the streets of Mega-City One at Comic-Con International 2026 in San Diego, CA, beginning on​ Thursday, July 23rd! Simply visit the Rebellion booth (#2121) to retrieve your free Mega-City One parking ticket with an official Department of Justice stamp – then get it stamped again in sequence at the Nacelle Company booth (#2547) and Oni Press booth (#1829) to avoid the death penalty, and receive one of 500 limited-edition Judge Dredd/Biker Mice From Mars art prints, featuring the upcoming cover art of Eisner Award-winning artist David Finch!
