A Hidden Legacy, a Violent Path Forward, and Something Ancient Waiting at the End of the Trail. Don’t miss Cloven by Dan Panosian, David Ferracci, Lee Loughridge, and Pat Brosseau

Posted on by Leave a comment

In the dying days of the American frontier, survival is earned in blood, and legacy is something far more dangerous. Cloven, the new original series from Mad Cave Studios, pulls readers into a bleak, dust-choked world where inheritance is not a gift, but a reckoning.

Written by comics’ legendary creator Dan Panosian, with art by Italian illustrator David Ferracci, colors by Lee Loughridge, and letters by Pat Brosseau, Cloven brings together a powerhouse creative team, with covers by Panosian, Jacob Phillips, Mark Chiarello, and Travis Charest.

In the dying days of the American frontier, a young woman journeys into the unknown to claim a legacy she never asked for—and may not survive.

June Buckley’s father was a monster in life. In death, he may be something worse.

Summoned alongside a group of treacherous heirs, June is forced to traverse the same brutal path that built her father’s empire. But the trail reveals more than hardship—it exposes the rot in every soul traveling beside her.

And at the center of it all is Hendido…a creature bound to her father’s past, and perhaps to something far older and much more wicked.

As the tension simmers and night closes in, June begins to understand: Her inheritance comes at a grisly price.

Cloven is a slow burn descent into violence, inheritance, and the things we carry whether we want to or not.

Cloven #1 goes on sale July 29, 2026 (FOC July 7).

Posted on by

DC with some trepidation has announced MAD About DC, a 64-page one-shot arriving April 1, 2026. Yes, April 1. And no, this isn’t a prank—unless you count letting Chip Zdarsky run this thing as its Guest Editor a prank on the DC Universe itself. You’d have to ask Chip.

MAD About DC brings together an all-star lineup of writers and artists to lovingly roast, parody, and generally make a mess of the characters fans hold dear.

Inside MAD About DC, readers will find:

  • Sergio Aragonés with “A MAD Look at Comic Book Stores”
  • Jim Zub and Ramon Perez teaming for “Guy vs. Spy”
  • A brand-new DC Fold-In by Charles Soule and Ryan Browne
  • A parade of MAD-style parodies skewering the DC comic books you love, and a few you’ve always hated anyway, from Kyle Starks, Dave Johnson, Tini Howard, Mattie Lubchansky, Mark Waid, Ty Templeton, Rainbow Rowell, Vita Ayala, M.L. Sanapo, Mark Russell, Steve Lieber, Jeff Parker, Lukas Ketner, Gerry Duggan, Scott Aukerman, Mitch Gerads, Joanne Starer, Joe Quinones, Scott Snyder, Josh Williamson, Deniz Camp, Gail Simone, Colleen Doran, Joe Kelly, Kelly Sue DeConnick, Valentine De Landro, Ryan North, Erica Henderson, Tom Taylor, Bruno Redondo, Mariko Tamaki, Riley Rossmo, Al Ewing, PJ Holden, Shannon Wheeler, Leah Williams, Isaac Goodhart, Cody Ziglar, Daniele Di Nicuolo, Daniel Kibblesmith, Brandt&Stein, Casey Gilly, J. Bone, Skottie Young, Andrew Wheeler, Stephen Byrne, Colleen Coover, Benjamin Errett, Matt Fraction, Kagan McLeod, Lee Gatlin, Joseph Starkey, Graham Roumieu…and more?!

Whether you’re a lifelong MAD Magazine fan, a DC diehard, or simply someone who enjoys watching respected creators make questionable choices, MAD About DC promises to fulfill your every comic book dream…or at least three or four of them.

MAD About DC goes on sale April 1, 2026, wherever comics are sold. No whoopee cushions included. The issue features a main cover by Dan “MAD About Gluten Labeling Because It Should Actually Be Clearer or Else What’s the Point” Panosian ($7.99 US), cardstock variants by Simon Bisley and Chip Zdarsky ($8.99 US), and a foil variant by Panosian ($10.99 US).

Alice Forever After #1 Returns with a Second Printing in February

Posted on by

BOOM! Studios has announced that Alice Forever After #1 has sold out on the distributor level and has been rushed back for a second printing! The series is by Dan Panosian, Giorgio Spalletta, and Francesco Segala.

Alice faces her most perilous adversary yet—her own past!

It’s been years since Alice returned to the real world, now living peacefully with her endlessly curious, young daughter Evelyn.

Wonderland may now be a distant memory, but beyond the looking glass, things are far from what they once were as the realm cracks and crumbles into decay. A resentful Cheshire Cat seeks out the one thing that can fix what’s broken, but this time it isn’t Alice he’s set his sights on…

With time running out, Alice will have to confront her past adventures—before they claim her beloved daughter.

This second printing of Alice Forever After #1 features a brand-new cover from artist Enid Balám and will be available in comic shops February 25, 2026.

All she wanted was to bring back the husband she has lost. Instead, she will unleash a new kind of evil into the world.

After her royal spouse was burned alive before her eyes, Queen Juliana turned her back on the gods of balance and pledged her life to the Wolf-God, Ulghir. In secret, she bled for him. In silence, she absorbed his teachings. And then, in darkness, she gave birth to two sons — one conceived in love, the other from black magic — thus setting in motion the tragic events that spell doom for the Realms of Ice and Fire!

GORDON, as well as an exclusive BLIND BAG VARIANT — Fire and Ice: Nekron unearths the twisted origin of one of fantasy’s most terrifying villains, weaving a cautionary tale of grief, rage, and the ultimate corruption of ambition.
