Exclusive Preview: Get a look at Gladiatrix! Out in Heavy Metal #3!

Forbidden Planet New York Signing

After a hugely successful relaunch earlier this year, the latest issue of Heavy Metal will appear in stores from Wednesday, October 8 – the same week as New York Comic Con! One of the stand-out titles from this new era of the magazine has been John Stanisci’s Gladiatrix, which fuses history, sci-fi, fantasy and hyper-violence into a potent bloody mix.

To celebrate this momentous occasion, Forbidden Planet New York will host an all-star signing event for Heavy Metal #3 at their 832 Broadway location on Wednesday, October 8 from 5:00-7:00pm. Joining Gladiatrix creator John Stanisci will be his colorist David Baron, letterer Tom Napolitano and editor Dave Kelly, as well as artist Marco Failla who is illustrating the new serial, Ink.

On an ancient world ruled by eldritch forces, a fierce warrior steps into an arena to confront a sinister gatekeeper and a horde of the undead, but the real test will come from the emerging hero’s willingness to face the haunting weight of her own sins. Issue 3 offers further revelations in the Gladiatrix saga and sets the stage for what’s to come – making it the perfect jumping-on point.

Gladiatrix was co created by John Stanisci and Oscar nominated screenwriter Dan Gordon with special thanks to Charley and Vlas Parlapanides, the creators of Blood Of Zeus on Netflix and Ink for Heavy Metal.

Heavy Metal #3 will be available for signing at the Forbidden Planet New York event on Wednesday, October 8. You can also find it (and earlier issues) at your local comic shop, newsstand or online direct from shop.HeavyMetal.com.

In Exit City, the Line Between Good and Evil Blurs

Posted on by

The tense sci-fi crime saga Exit City from Mad Cave Studios arrives in a full trade paperback edition this spring, collecting the complete series by writer Mark London and artists Karl Mostert and Ramon Villalobos.

Known for its moody visuals and propulsive pacing, Exit City blends noir grit with a dystopian edge. David Baron’s bold colors and Dave Sharpe’s lettering bring the narrative to life, while Raymund Bermudez and Sebastian Chang deliver a striking cover that sets the tone for this layered and dangerous world.

In Exit City, there’s a thin line between good and evil, and Detectives McCormick and Miller are about to find out the hard way. When they come to the scene of a brutal accident, it becomes clear that the Major Crimes division was called in for a reason. With minimal evidence, McCormick and Miller must work together through a web of seedy criminals, genetic experiments, and a crooked government. But that’s not the only thing standing in their way; McCormick is hiding a secret that would make anyone question his capabilities.

The trade paperback drops in shops May 14, 2025, and is now available for preorder.
