Crowdfunding Corner: No Saints Nor Poets: an Adventure-Romance BL Comic

Posted on May 22, 2026 by Graphic Policy Team Leave a comment

Welcome to our revamped “Crowdfunding Corner” rounding up some of the latest crowdfunding news. We’re going beyond just announcement projects, we’ll be tracking to make sure these projects get delivered as well as what we think the “risk” of backing them are.

We’ll be updating the format as we get a better handle of the needs of this sort of coverage, so stay tuned and check out the first round of projects!

NO SAINTS NOR POETS #1-3: an Adventure-Romance BL Comic

Publisher: Tightrope Press
Creative Team: Iolanda Zanfardino, Martina Belli, Ilaria Chiocca
Launch Date: Currently funding – ends June 18 2026 11:00 AM EDT
Risk: Low – They’ve run a previous campaign and delivered.

Tightrope Press invites you to join them as they continue their debut comic series, NO SAINTS NOR POETS, a chaotic swashbuckling adventure-romance Comic full of sea monsters, motor-gondola races, pride, faith and love triangles.

Created by the critically acclaimed queer writer Iolanda Zanfardino (A Thing Called Truth, Midnight Radio, Alice in Leatherland, You Never Heard Of Me, Hecate’s Will, The Least We Can Do), this story marks their first steps into BL / MLM storytelling!

After their beloved city of Serena sinks into the dark waters of the lagoon, leaving it half-submerged, a charming two-bit con artist and a disenchanted former priest reinvent themselves as delivery men, skirting the thin line between piety and profanity on their motorized gondolas. As they fight for a brighter future, they soon realize that their past is not too far behind them.

In issue #3 things get more complicated for Flynn. Disgusted by the hypocrisy of the upper classes, he returns home to the man he really wants… But does he want him, too?

A conversation about hiding behind costumes and masks makes Flynn realize that he’s sick of being asked to hide his true self, though being open and honest about it comes with its own set of unexpected problems!

Michael Kelly to Leave BOOM! Studios in June

Posted on May 21, 2026 by Brett Leave a comment

Michael Kelly, the VP, Publisher of BOOM! Studios will be leaving the position in June 2026. Adam Schmidt, VP, Editor-in-Chief of BOOM! will take over and report to Keith Clayton, the SVP Publisher of Random House Worlds Group, the division BOOM! is a part of. Kelly is leaving to pursue other opportunities.

Kelly joined Hasbro in 2006 and worked there for 18 years rising to the position of Vice President, Global Publishing. He joined BOOM! as its Publisher in 2024 when it was acquired by Penguin Random House. His career began in 1994 in the stock room of a Barnes & Noble.

BOOM! was purchased by Penguin Random House in 2024 and has since been more integrated into its structure as well as losing some staff. There’s been small changes on the backend that have been noticeable but maybe not obvious to comic readers.

It’s been a weird time for corporate owned and VC funded publishers, with Marvel’s longtime publisher Dan Buckley announced to leave the company in 2027 and Dark Horse founder Mike Richardson leaving the company a few months ago.

Dark Horse Shutters Things From Another World and launches Dark Horse Games in Corporate Focus Reshuffle

Posted on May 21, 2026 by Brett 2 comments

Earlier this week, Dark Horse‘s parent company Embracer announced that it was going to split off Fellowship Entertainment, the division that includes Dark Horse. The shakeup is the latest for Embracer and Dark Horse that has includer the ouster of Dark Horse founder Mike Richardson. That’s not the end of the changes as the company announced more changes. As part of Dark Horse Comics’ continuing efforts to modernize, strengthen collaboration within the company, and build a more-connected organization across Fellowship Entertainment, they have announced several updates to its business.

Things From Another World

Part of the changes is the closing all three of the Things From Another World retail locations, effective June 30, 2026, for the Oregon locations and September 30, 2026, for the California location. From the announcement:

This was not an easy decision, and we do not take lightly the impact it has on the people directly affected.

To the employees whose jobs will be affected by this closure, we are deeply grateful for your dedication, your hard work, and the care you brought to your roles every day. We are committed to supporting the affected employees through this transition. We are working to ensure that this process is handled with the care and respect it warrants.

The writing was on the wall for the retail locations as TFAW ended its affiliate program, of which we were a part, which often signals shifts at the company such as closures.

Dark Horse Entertainment

Dark Horse Entertainment is sharpening its focus on what has always been at the heart of this company — its creators. Going forward, they are deepening their commitment to its writers, artists, and storytellers who define the Dark Horse voice, ensuring they have the development support, creative partnerships, and resources to bring their visions to life across film and television. They believe the strongest path forward for Dark Horse Entertainment runs directly through the creative talent that makes this company extraordinary.

Dark Horse Games

Dark Horse Games is a new initiative dedicated to bringing the company’s rich creative universes to interactive entertainment. Just as Dark Horse Entertainment exists to champion our storytellers in film and television, Dark Horse Games will provide creators with the development opportunities and creative partnerships needed to realize their worlds within interactive entertainment. The same spirit that has defined Dark Horse Comics for four decades — independent, creator-driven, uncompromising — now has a home in Fellowship Entertainment.

Dark Horse’s parent company includes numerous video game publishers as well as the tabletop company Asmodee which includes numerous publishers. It was expected that we’d see more leveraging of Dark Horse IP into tabletop games and video games and tabletop games and video games spun out into comics. While there’s been some, the volume hasn’t quite panned out.

That’s a lot of changes for the publisher this year. Will we see a renewed a reinvigorated Dark Horse debut at San Diego Comic-Con later this year?

Seven Wives #1 delivers an interesting premise in a unique setting showing off potential

Posted on May 21, 2026 by Brett Leave a comment

Forty-nine witnesses, seven wives, one dead husband. On Monday, April 17, at 9:04 a.m., two police detectives are dispatched to investigate a death on a Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints compound in remote Arizona. Matthew Dunn, the patriarch of the Dunn family, has been found stabbed on the pulpit of his temple, basking in the blood-soaked gaze of his savior. Detectives Aguilar and Halwell begin the arduous task of questioning each of Matthew’s seven wives and quickly encounter a brick wall of memorized Scripture, canned platitudes, and locked lips. It becomes clear that the women’s intricately braided hair, voices with sweet affectations, and modest clothing aren’t just signs of Matthew’s brainwashing but armor they use to protect their family. But with each interrogation, the cracks begin to show—the abuse, the truth of living and surviving in this cult—and the detectives uncover the unholy gospel of Matthew Dunn.

Star Trek: The Last Starship #7 Reveals the Desperate State of the Federation as the Omega Crew Face a New Horror

Posted on May 20, 2026 by Brett Leave a comment

The crew of the U.S.S. Omega are desperately trying to hold the Federation’s vision of a united Galaxy together, but they’re failing. The spirit of cooperation is dead, but Starfleet’s mission might not be, thanks to a research station on the aptly named Deep Space Hope. There, one last shining ray of possibility remains in an ever-darkening universe. A way to put everything back in its rightful place…if only Sato and his crew are bold enough to seize it. Star Trek: The Last Starship #7 kicks off a new story arc and delivers a solid jumping on point for new readers.

Written by Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly, Star Trek: The Last Starship #7 balances the comic well, not showing the fallout of the opening arc but moving things along not just with the state of the Federation but just generally delivering a solid story. Things are looking grim with just 42 worlds left in the Federation and the Emerald Chain expanding their reach and control.

Lanzing and Kelly sets things out well, focusing on what the Emerald Chain represents and giving glimpses as to what may come of their influence. But, the writers also deliver hurdles to the Federation really expanding. They’re not only outnumbered but their leadership is dwindling. The Omega is a different type of ship where time may seem short for them, years may pass in real time. They fix an issue and by the time they reach their destination, they can see how those efforts played out. It makes their mission a bit more interesting but also a bit of whack-a-mole, always slightly behind in the major issues faced. And with that reality, there’s a clear frustration felt by the crew and its leadership.

And while all of that might seem enough, Star Trek: The Last Starship #7 takes the story in a new direction with the focus on the research state Deep Space Hope. What lies there isn’t so much hope as it is horror and the comic delivers that when the crew arrives. It’s a tense, strange moment that feels as much Event Horizon (without the gore) as it does Star Trek.

That horror feel is helped by the art of Hernan Gonzalez. Gonzalez is joined by Lee Loughridge on color and Clayton Cowles on lettering. There’s a scratchy feel and look to the comic which adds to the concepts within. It makes the comic feel like a dream, but really a nightmare, as the crew goes from the issues they face to another issue entirely. The style, much like the opening six issues, isn’t a clean look and like those issues feels like it reflects the chaos the Federation and crew are experiencing.

Star Trek: The Last Starship #7 continues to deliver and this issue not only makes it clear what hurdles the crew faces with the new order but also what hurdles they face to help rebuild the Federation. Add in a discovery that goes in an unexpected direction and you have a series that keeps surprising and exciting with every issue.
