Honor & Curse: Eternal arrives February 2026 from Mad Cave Studios

Posted on by

Mad Cave Studios has announced Honor & Curse: Eternal, the long-awaited continuation of the hit series that first introduced readers to Genshi Sakagura—forced into a destiny he never asked for, and now, six hundred years later, the silence breaks…

Created and written by Mark London, with art and retailer incentive cover by Spanish comic book artist Jaime Infante, colors by Fran Gambera, and letters by Carlos M. Mangual, this new chapter expands the series’ mythology into bold new territory. Featuring additional covers by Nick Marinkovich and Filya Bratukhin, the story collides ancient feudal oaths with a modern world nowhere near ready for the shadows rising to claim it.

Six hundred years ago, ninja warrior Genshi Sakagura vanished from history—cursed with immortality and haunted by a war-hungry spirit known as the Tengu. Now living in modern-day New York, Genshi’s centuries of silence shatter when a terrorist strike and a kidnapping tied to his ancient past force him back into battle. To reclaim his honor, he must once again unleash the curse he’s spent lifetimes trying to contain.

Supernatural epics, modern samurai myths, and character-driven dark fantasy will drive you to Honor & Curse: Eternal, delivering a cinematic evolution of the original series.

Honor & Curse: Eternal #1 (of 12) arrives February 26, 2026.

Become an Agent of W.O.R.L.D.E. in June

Posted on by

Philip Blank is the top agent for the sci-fi spy organization W.O.R.L.D.E., keeping capitalism safe from aliens, time travelers, and maladjusted geniuses off their meds. But lately he’s been having doubts about his work, wondering if there might be more to life than missions and mega-violence. This starts Philip on a death-or-more-death journey through the weirdest W.O.R.L.D.E. has to offer; epicurean terrorist organizations, horny robots, alien origin stories, ex-spies with metal eyes, and a web of secrets and lies of Blank’s own making.

Agent of W.O.R.L.D.E. is out in June from writer Deniz Camp, art by Filya Bratukhin, color by Jason Wordie, and lettering by Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou.
