The Special Edition kicks off the relaunch of the award nominated series that was interrupted by industry setbacks earlier this year. The City Beneath Her Feet’s adrenaline-doused blend of violence, romance, and infectious dialogue built a vocal fan following and glowing reviews upon its initial release, and this new printing allows curious readers to experience the blockbuster debut before diving into future 48-page chapters in months to come, released in seven-week intervals. 

Issue #2 and issue #3 of the series will also be printed with matte interior stock to show off Bellaire’s award-nominated color palette.

Chip Zdarsky and Rachael Stott launch an automaton amour amidst rising tensions between America and Canada in White House Robot Romance

Posted on by

DSTLRY has announced White House Robot Romance from Eisner-winning writer Chip Zdarsky and acclaimed artist Rachael Stott. Colored by Tamra Bonvillain and lettered by Ariana Maher, this disarming sci-fi romance follows two kitchen-bound robots who, just as they begin to transcend their programming, become ensnared in a political crisis that threatens to drag America and Canada into war.

When Chef-9 learns that Service-1 is scheduled for immediate decommissioning, he makes an unprecedented choice: abandon his station, break protocol, and flee with Service-1 into the streets of Washington, D.C. But what starts as a desperate act of defiance quickly spirals into an international crisis. Service-1’s memory banks hold highly classified state secrets—ones that could tilt the balance of power between America and Canada. As paranoia mounts and the military mobilizes, the runaway robots find themselves hunted by government agents and targeted by corporate spies.

White House Robot Romance #1 features covers by Rachael Stott, Jill Thompson, Elsa Charretier, and Bengal.

The investors arrive, sending Prophetiq into an urgency verging on panic. And an attempt to get Hannover out of the picture leaves Vin to fend for herself-and eventually make her way into the depths of the unknown to confront the true evil set to be unleashed!

Curt Pires and Amilcar Pinna Rocket into Galactic, a Death-Bender Sci-Fi Romance from DSTLRY

Posted on by

DSTLRY has announced Galactic, a boundary-pushing, ultraviolent sci-fi romance from Curt Pires and Amilcar Pinna debuting this May. It features covers by Amilcar Pinna, Tula Lotay, James Stokoe, and Dalton Rose.

A hyper-kinetic blend of syncopated, blockbuster action and interstellar escapism, Galactic follows a roguish bounty hunter hired to retrieve a runaway princess on a psychedelic death-bender. What should be an easy payday escalates into a collision course with an intergalactic war—and maybe (just maybe) an unexpected romance along the way. Also: a talking dog named Wolf pilots the starship. 

Each issue of Galactic is presented in DSTLRY’s perfect-bound Prestige format, featuring wraparound covers with spot gloss on robust cover stock, complemented by 48 pages of exquisite interior stock.

Si Spurrier and Matías Bergara Unveil Epic Fantasy Series A Mischief of Magpies

Posted on by

DSTLRY has announced A Mischief of Magpies, a groundbreaking fantasy journey from writer Simon Spurrier and artist Matías Bergara—the recipients of the Angoulême Sélection Officielle, GLAAD Award, and multiple Eisner nominations, whose previous collaborations include CODA, Step By Bloody Step, and The Spire. 

Debuting in April, this astonishing project revolves around Mar, a teenager who finds himself inexplicably transported to an extraordinary city, endlessly sailing a shoreless ocean. The city is built around a vast machine of two distinct halves: the bright, bustling spires above the waves, and the beast-haunted twilight halls below. Between them, playing on the beach, a troupe of anarchic magpies seems to have all the answers… but none of the questions.

Mar must navigate the dual extremes of this city-ship and the riddles posed by its bird-brained mediators, all while solving the true mystery: exactly why is he switching between his mundane life and this fantastical realm of dazzle and darkness?

Spurrier and Bergara’s newest collaboration builds on their legacy of pushing the limits of visual and narrative storytelling, bringing readers a fantasy masterpiece that spans sequential storytelling, prose, and illustration. A Mischief of Magpies will resonate with fans of The NeverEnding Story, Arcane, and The Boy and the Heron, featuring a relatable protagonist journeying into the unknown.

A Mischief Of Magpies features covers by Matías Bergara, Fabio Moon, and Bilquis Evely.
