In this all-new ongoing series, the small knight with a big heart travels the Unnamed World to help those in need. That mission takes him to the mysterious Forgotten Isles, where jungle fauna mixes with strange machines. What happened to the Forgotten People who once lived there?

Or will their journey end at the bottom of the Mechanical Sea?

Since its 2019 debut, Canto has captured readers’ hearts with stories of courage, friendship, and the belief that even the smallest hero can change the world. The Clockwork Chronicles begins a new era for the character while giving first-time readers an easy place to jump aboard.

Canto: The Clockwork Chronicles #1 features a main cover by Drew Zucker and Vittorio Astone, with variant covers by Duncan Fegredo and Mr. Oz, plus the first in a series of collectible “vintage pulp” incentive covers from Lukas Ketner, who will create one for each of the first six issues.

Perfect for longtime fans and first-time readers alike, this thrilling new adventure is filled with imagination, unforgettable characters, and a tiny tin hero whose kindness is every bit as powerful as his courage.

Series artist Drew Zucker will be in attendance at NYCC 2026 (Oct. 8-11), and writer David M. Booher will be in attendance at LA Comic Con (Oct. 30 – Nov. 1); both are available for interviews.

Image reveals exclusive and incentive variants for The Lucky Devils

Posted on by

Image Comics is pleased to reveal a veritable legion of devilishly good-looking variant covers for the hot-hot-hot upcoming series launch, The Lucky Devils—by Eight Billion Genies creative team of #1 New York Times bestselling writer Charles Soule and critically-acclaimed artist Ryan Browne—hitting shelves in January from Image Comics.

In addition to the stunning Cover A art by Browne, there will be an exciting Frank Miller variant cover, a blank sketch cover, and limited quantities of foil-treated Miller covers and even variants featuring original artwork drawn on it by Browne. Also available at select comic shops will be limited quantities of The Lucky Devils #1 variant covers by such artists as: William Russell (Prideland Comics & Collectibles), Erik Elizarrez (Top Shelf), Huy Dinh (Spectral Comics), Skoot Starnes (TN Comic Collector), Scott & Simon McFarland (Geek Boutique), Camron T. Johnson (Afshari Comics), Michael McComb (Economics in Comics), Brett Bean (616 Comics), Trish Forstner (Bird City Comics), Drew Zucker (Strange Tales To Sell), Matthew Waite (Comic Kingdom Creative), and of course Browne himself (Peebles Comics & Games), plus even more soon to be revealed.

Soule and Browne’s wildly popular Eight Billion Genies #1 launched in 2022 with orders clocking in at 100K copies total. The successful launch was followed shortly by news of a Hollywood adaptation which kicked off a feeding frenzy of reorder activity for subsequent issues released. Now, their The Lucky Devils launch similar in tone—a high-concept fantasy romp—is projected to hit big with their dedicated audience of fans hungry for more.

This nine-issue, fantasy/satire adventure is a tale of two ordinary, good-hearted, 20-something Chicagoans who begin working with the devils on their shoulders in an attempt to fix their broken lives. It works beyond their wildest dreams, and in time they become two of the most powerful people on earth. While they fully intend to use that influence to make the world a better place, we all know what they say about the road to Hell…

A dark, hilarious satire about the struggle to do good in a world that makes it so easy to be bad, The Lucky Devils is an examination of everything that makes humanity both grand and terrible from two of comics’ most unique storytellers.

For fans of their previous bestselling collaborations like Curse Words and Eight Billion Genies—or stories like Good Omens, Lucifer, or tales where ordinary people’s lives intersect with the supernatural—this new series is sure to delight readers looking for a fantastical new read.

Booher and fan-favorite artist Drew Zucker, the team behind hit fantasy comic book series Canto, are teaming up again for the new horror one-shot comic book The Feeding from Syzygy Publishing and Image Comics.

Can Nolan stop this demon or will he be devoured like so many others before him? Readers will go on a surreal journey into one man’s bloody psyche…to a place and time when art is dangerous and no one is safe. Booher and Zucker are joined by Vittorio Astone on colors and Andworld Design on letters to bring this terrifying tale to life.

The Feeding will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, October 23 (FOC is today):

  • Cover A by Drew Zucker & Vittorio Astone – Lunar Code 0824IM319

The end is nigh. Canto’s people will make their final stand in familiar territory-Arcana. They know every path, every stone, every grain of dirt of their home. They stoke the furnaces, covering the land in smoke. With the enemy blinded, Canto may finally have the upper hand on the Shrouded Man… until the Shrouded Man reveals a trick of his own.

The battle for the Unnamed World rages. New Arcana is in flames. Canto’s allies are pushed to the brink. They must retreat if they want to survive. But running from the Shrouded Man isn’t easy. As Canto learns more about the evil sorcerer’s past, he realizes the only hope for his people lay where his quest began… they must go home.
