The Mad Genius Reconsidered: A Sharp, Unexpected Look at Nikola Tesla. Coming this August from Sergio Rossi, Giovanni Scarduelli, Giulia Gabrielli, and Mad Cave Studios

Posted on by Leave a comment

Tesla has become cultural shorthand for genius… but the shortest version rarely tells the whole story. This summer, Mad Cave Studios’ comixology Originals line presents Nikola Tesla, a witty and unexpectedly human graphic novel from writer Sergio Rossi, artist Giovanni Scarduelli, letterer Giulia Gabrielli, and translator Lucy Lenzi that looks past the mythology surrounding one of history’s most iconic inventors.

Framed through the conversations of two collaborators attempting to make sense of Tesla’s life, the book blends fictionalized biography with cultural reflection, examining innovation, ambition, authorship, and the narratives history leaves behind.

Who was Nikola Tesla? A brilliant inventor or a visionary uncoupled from his time? In this fictionalized exploration of his life, two filmmakers set out to settle the debate. Growing up in poverty in the mid-19th century under the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Tesla studied and became an engineer on his own strength. He emigrated to America, where he was employed in the laboratory of the famous Thomas Edison, the inventor of the phonograph and the light bulb. But corruption and competition among Tesla’s colleagues–chief among them Edison himself–led to the “War of Currents,” a heated race for control of the world electricity market. Tesla came out on top of that race, but a strange and tragic confluence of events and prejudices led to his public downfall. With more than two hundred different patents and inventions over his lifetime, including the remote control and fluorescent lighting, Tesla is remembered today as one of the most important innovators in modern history. Sergio Rossi and Giovanni Scarduelli’s funny, heartfelt retelling speaks not only to the inventor’s legacy, but to our relationship with technology and the very concept of “genius.”

Rossi, whose background spans physics, science communication, publishing, and comics history, brings both technical insight and narrative nuance to the story, while Scarduelli—known for his visually rich biographical work—renders a dynamic portrait of a figure whose life was as volatile as the inventions that helped reshape the modern world.

Part of Mad Cave’s growing slate of English-language releases in collaboration with Italian publisher Becco Giallo, Nikola Tesla moves beyond traditional biography, blending historical portraiture with cultural interrogation in a smart, emotionally grounded examination of invention, ambition, and the uneasy mythology of genius.

Nikola Tesla goes on sale August 11, 2026, in paperback (ISBN: 9781545827659 | $19.99) format.

Asterix Collector Vol. 7: Asterix and the Big Fight

(W) René Goscinny (A) Albert Uderzo

Re-releasing the classic comic series in a larger format, with never-before-seen archival illustrations and scans.

Recently adapted for an animated Netflix miniseries, “Asterix and the Big Fight” is one of the most beloved stories of the fearless Gaul battling supposedly unbeatable odds to protect his tiny village from the Roman Empire. Now the story gets new prestige treatment with illuminating commentary and insights into the original story and illustrations.

The Romans are beginning to wise up! Instead of trying to conquer Asterix’s village, the Romans challenge Vitalstatistx, chief of Asterix’s tribe, to a “Big Fight” — a one-on-one battle with the Gallo-Roman Chief, Cassius Ceramix of Linoleum. The loser forfeits his entire tribe to the winner! It should be an easy fight with Vitalstatistx’s super strength — but the Romans have a plan for that, too. Get ready for an all-out Gaulish brawl!

(W) Paul Kupperberg (A) Bill Walko

The Story of Spaceflight is a journey through humanity’s quest to understand our place in the universe…and our struggles to reach the stars. Guided by the curious students of the London Academy of ideas and Ingenuity, readers travel through time and space to witness the evolution of spaceflight—from the invention of gunpowder in ancient China and early rocketry to Newton’s laws of physics, the Wright brothers’ first flight, the jet age, and the space race. They explore moon landings, space stations, and the bold dreams for humanity’s future among the stars. Blending science, history, and imagination, this engaging tale brings to life the milestones that shaped our path into space.

One Path Book Two: The White King

(W) Andy Lanning, Greg Broadmore (A) Greg Broadmore

Book Two of this four-part epic plunges One Path into a breakneck prehistoric chase across unending forests, valleys and mountains, carrying a scorned child toward a life-giving treacle rumored to flow in the Towers. Closing in are Una’s tribe and the White Kin – an ancient albino T-rex drawn to the child’s power. Lushly illustrated, brutal and breathtaking, One Path: The White King delivers 200 pages of high-stakes survival from Greg Broadmore & Andy Lanning, published by Mad Cave Studios.

In a brutal, breathtaking prehistory where cavegirls fight desperately to survive and dinosaurs rule the valleys, One Path flees her tribe with a “cursed” infant which she refuses to abandon. With a fierce young Runtling at her side, she drives toward the mythic Towers – vast, earthen spires said to hold life-saving sap, a treacle rich enough to keep the starving child alive.

Behind them, love twists into pursuit. Una, One Path’s sister, leads a relentless war-band – driving three subjugated T-Rexes, they are determined to uphold their brutal laws and destroy the child they scorned. Worse still, Una’s desperate gambit has roused an older terror: the White King, an ancient albino T-Rex that rises from hibernation to claim its tribute. Drawn by the infant’s vital scent and the promise of renewed power, the White King cuts a path of ruin across forest and plain, devouring anything that stands between it and the child.

Part chase, part odyssey, One Path: The White King hurtles through a landscape where hope is hunted and trust runs thin. As the Towers loom and the hunters close, One Path must choose what to risk, and who to become if she’s to save the condemned child.

Posted on by Leave a comment

Titan Comics has announced reMIND: The Complete Saga, the acclaimed sci-fi fantasy graphic novel by award-winning creator and former DreamWorks Animation artist Jason Brubaker. Arriving October 13, 2026, this deluxe hardcover collects the complete reMIND saga in a single volume, featuring brand-new cover art and exclusive behind-the-scenes material.

Originally launched as a webcomic in 2009, reMIND quickly built an audience of over a million readers thanks to its richly detailed artwork, cinematic storytelling, and emotionally engaging characters. The series, which blends imaginative worldbuilding with themes of friendship, loyalty, and identity, was eventually self-published in 2011, making reMIND: The Complete Saga a 15th-anniversary edition.  

The story follows Sonja, a lighthouse keeper and inventor living on a remote island with her cat, Victuals. When Victuals mysteriously disappears and later returns carrying the brain of an intelligent lizard-creature from a hidden underwater kingdom, Sonja is drawn into a dangerous world of ancient civilizations, scientific experiments, and buried secrets beneath the sea.

Known for his work on Kung Fu Panda 2, Kung Fu Panda 3, The Croods, and Captain Underpants, Brubaker brings an animation-inspired sense of storytelling and visual energy to every page. This new edition also includes exclusive bonus material showcasing his creative process, from early sketches to final painted artwork. Since reMind, he has continued self-publishing additional series, including a 1000+ page adventure graphic novel series, Sithrah, and a gothic comedy, Phobos.

The series has received significant recognition over the years, including the Xeric Award in 2010, placement on the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA) Great Graphic Novels for Teens list in 2012, and an Eisner Award nomination in 2020 for Macroverse’s TapStory adaptation.

reMIND: The Complete Saga is on sale on October 13, 2026. Pre-order it now from Bookshop, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million, and Forbidden Planet for the UK and Europe.

Crowdfunding Corner: Postal comes to Comics this Summer

Posted on by 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!

POSTAL – FIRST EVER COMIC BOOK!

Postal

Publisher: Roditeli Productions X RWS
Creative Team: (w) Kevin Roditeli, Rob Cannon (a) Alex Riegel (c) Moreno DiNiso (l) Serge LaPointe (e) Chris Stevens
Launch Date: Launching soon
Risk: Low – They’ve been involved in previous campaigns

Running With Scissors is partnering with Roditeli Productions to bring the POSTAL universe to comic books for the first time in the franchise’s nearly 30‑year history. The debut series will launch on Kickstarter this summer, giving fans a new way to experience The Postal Dude’s misadventures in the chaotic city of Paradise, the setting of the beloved game POSTAL 2.

Since its debut in 1997, POSTAL has grown into a multimedia phenomenon, spawning sequels, a feature film, a documentary, and spin‑offs such as Postal: Brain Damaged and the upcoming Flesh & Wire. With tens of millions of copies sold and a fanbase that continues to expand through internet culture and community engagement, POSTAL remains one of gaming’s most enduring indie franchises. A comic series has been one of the most requested expansions of the brand. Kickstarter now makes it possible for independent creators to produce it and answers directly to the fan demand.

Roditeli Productions previously produced the first‑ever comic book for another beloved ’90s property, SWAT Kats, which became the biggest single‑issue comic book Kickstarter campaign of all time. POSTAL will be the second franchise to undergo this treatment from the comic book studio, with the goal that, if this initial campaign succeeds, Running With Scissors’ Postal will become a regular comic book series.

The series is co‑written by Kevin Roditeli (SWAT Kats, Bad Omens: Concrete Jungle, X‑O Manowar) and Rob Cannon (Ninja Funk, Anime Animay). The duo previously collaborated on the critically acclaimed series Washed in the Blood and Revenge Is a Drug.

In this debut POSTAL comic, The Dude attempts to get through a typical Monday until a spammy dating‑app email pulls him into a conspiracy that spirals into full‑blown POSTAL‑style chaos.

The book is illustrated by indie sensation Alex Riegel (Ninja Funk, Standstill, Scumbag) with colors by the prolific Moreno DiNiso (Deadpool/Batman, Avengers, Power Rangers). Rounding out the creative team are industry veterans Serge LaPointe (Fantastic Four, Assassin’s Creed, WWE) is handling lettering and design, and Chris Stevens (Marvel Artbooks, Lost Fantasy, Stephen R. Bissette’s Tyrant) serving as editor.

An A‑list roster of cover artists from Marvel, DC, and Image Comics will join the celebration, including Jim Mahfood, John McCrea, Daniel Hillyard, and Raymond Gay, with more to be revealed throughout the promotional rollout leading up to launch.
