Celebrity baker, cookbook author, mental health advocate, and Great British Bake Off star Kim, and fan—favorite artist Alti, the team behind the acclaimed graphic novel Turtle Bread, reunite with Quiet, a thought—provoking story that explores social anxiety, selective mutism, and bullying — set in a near—future where schools use robot companions to support students’ mental health.

Mary hasn’t spoken a word at school in years due to selective mutism. She’s isolated, misunderstood, and targeted by relentless bullies. When she’s assigned a SereniBot — a mental health support robot — she’s mortified. The last thing she wants is more attention. But Mary soon discovers the robot can do more than just help her cope, it can help her fight back. What starts as clever pranks on her bullies turns into a series of misadventures that spiral out of control. As the line between standing up for herself and becoming a bully starts to blur, Mary begins to ask a difficult question: in trying to take back control, has she become the very thing she feared? As Mary questions her choices, Quiet becomes a deeper story about power, empathy, and what it really means to be heard.

Combining emotional insight with a hint of sci-fi, Quiet, featuring spot color by Firmansyah, speaks to anyone who’s ever felt voiceless, misunderstood, or underestimated. It’s a reminder that courage doesn’t always roar — and sometimes, the quietest voices carry the most important truths.

A comic book cover featuring a girl sitting on the ground hugging her knees, surrounded by numerous large eyes. Above her, a small character with a halo and a robotic look floats while looking down at her. The title 'QUIET' is prominently displayed in bold, colorful letters.

Nikola Tesla

(W) Giovanni Scarduelli (A) Giovanni Scarduelli

Another unique book in Mad Cave’s series of English print releases from Italian publisher Becco Giallo and Comixology Originals. Nikola Tesla follows two friends and collaborators making a film about the famous inventor’s life–and debating, between themselves, the very merits of that reputation. Sardonic and honest, this graphic novel is a refreshing reflection on the extraordinary changes to modern culture since Tesla’s era, as well as a fascinating insight into the turbulent life of the “mad genius.”

Who was Nikola Tesla? A brilliant inventor or a visionary uncoupled from his time? In this fictionalized exploration of his life, two filmmakers set out to settle the debate. Growing up in poverty in the mid-19th century under the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Tesla studied and became an engineer on his own strength. He emigrated to America, where he was employed in the laboratory of the famous Thomas Edison, the inventor of the phonograph and the light bulb. But corruption and competition among Tesla’s colleagues–chief among them Edison himself–led to the “War of Currents,” a heated race for control of the world electricity market. Tesla came out on top of that race, but a strange and tragic confluence of events and prejudices led to his public downfall. With more than two hundred different patents and inventions over his lifetime, including the remote control and fluorescent lighting, Tesla is remembered today as one of the most important innovators in modern history. Sergio Rossi and Giovanni Scarduelli’s funny, heartfelt retelling speaks not only to the inventor’s legacy, but to our relationship with technology and the very concept of “genius.”
