SDCC 2026: Frank Miller and Dark Horse tease Invasive Species and New Projects!

Posted on by

World-renowned creator, Frank Miller, returns to San Diego Comic Con to celebrate a new sci-fi series coming to Dark Horse, Invasive Species! Invasive Species illustrator Ryan Benjamin and colorist Alex Sinclair will also join Miller for the signing, which will feature never-before-seen art from the series.

Any day you get to personally announce a new Frank Miller book is already amazing but when you get to add Ryan Benjamin and Alex Sinclair to the mix it becomes one for the ages. I can’t wait for fans to see what they’re doing in the new book Invasive Species and folks at SDCC will be the first to see it!

-Tim Weisch, Head of Publishing and Business Development

Miller had launched an independent publishing line, Frank Miller Presents, in 2022 with Dan DiDio which released a few series but eventually sizzled. The line eventually found new life with a new publisher, but that was short lived it sounds like. Invasive Species was last teased by Abrams ComicArts as part of their “new line” of monthly comics during San Diego Comic-Con 2024. That line has generally petered out and didn’t amount to much. Originally set for a release of January 8, 2025, the comic has been missing from shelves.

Miller is also working alongside Dark Horse Comics for new projects, to be announced at a later date.
