On the night RIOT prepares to publish its most dangerous story yet, celebration curdles into dread as unseen forces begin to move.

A timely, biting satire with a pop-punk edge, Exploit has a lot to say about the state of the American tech oligarchy and the rise of global fascism.
Don’t bury the lede. Bury your enemies.
Kirby Kuo might be late to her true purpose in life–but no one would call the 30-something journalism intern out of time. When she uncovers a shocking secret about tech billionaire Cole Saxon, Kirby does what she has always wanted to do and publishes it. But the violence and vengeance that follows is like nothing she could have anticipated–pitting Kirby, her agoraphobic roommate, and the writing staff of the defunct magazine RIOT! to bring justice to a world where the rich get what they want without consequence.
Exploit is a timely, biting satire of the state of the American tech oligarchy with a pop-punk edge.
Celebrate 626 Day with an anthology series stuffed with fun, diverse stories starring the titular blue-furred bundle of mischief!
What is 626 Day? Stitch – the blue alien buddy who co-stars in Disney’s Lilo & Stitch – was originally designated as Experiment 626. While Dr. Jumba Jookiba created more unique experiments, 626 is the most famous. 626 Day offers Disney fans the opportunity to playfully celebrate the beloved character that has captivated global audiences while commemorating his intergalactic namesake.
Lilo & Stitch: 626 is a three-issue series that will bookend 626 Day with releases in May, June, and July. The fabulous first issue features two stories showcasing the joy of the character and his colorful cast. Jet-setting Jeff Eckleberry handles lettering throughout the book.
Critically acclaimed wordsmith Daniel Kibblesmith, following from his fan-favorite run with Darkwing Duck, takes on the little mischief alongside artist Elisa Pochetta. The pair unveil for the first time to fans the secret origin of Agent Cobra Bubbles — or at least Lilo’s interpretation of it!
Then, another Disney X Dynamite legend in the making takes on the second story, as George Kambadais writes and draws a tale of Captain Gantu stranded on an Old West-styled planet all by himself, surrounded by dangerous criminals from his past!
Subsequent issues will turn the spotlight to other beloved members of the cast like Nani, Jumba, Pleakley, David, Mertle, and more. An equally expansive roster of talented writers and artists will be featured in the next two releases, including Moana McAdams, Chuck Brown, Jeff Parker, Edwin Galmon, Miriana Puglia, Emiliana Pinna, and Giulia Giacomino.
Rebellion starts on the page. Mad Cave Studios is proud to announce Exploit, the forthcoming four-issue technothriller from tenured journalists, former senior editor of WIRED, Laura Hudson, and Tim Leong, joined by Emiliana Pinna, Rebecca Good, and Frank Cvetkovic—with a variant by Veronica Fish. This mix of newsroom grit and tech-fueled paranoia zeroes in on what it means to live (and fight) in a world where billionaire influence shapes the truth, algorithms decide the stakes, and every notification hits hard…
Don’t bury the lede. Bury your enemies.

Exploit taps into the energy of ‘90s zine culture and the unease of life inside the digital surveillance.
If you’ve ever felt burned out, watched, or worn down by collapsing industries, billionaire-owned media, and the relentless pressure of staying visible online. With its fusion of rebellion, suspense, and razor-sharp commentary, Exploit asks what it means to fight for truth when the narrative is already rigged.
Exploit #1 arrives March 4, 2026, with FOC on February 9th.
