Eduardo Medeiros brings the graphic novel Battle in the Flower Gardens to comiXology Originals

Acclaimed Brazilian cartoonist Eduardo Medeiros presents Battle In The Flower Gardens, a coming-of-age original graphic novel about two best friends and one unforgettable summer. Written, drawn, and colored by Medeiros with lettering by Deyvison Manes, Battle In The Flower Gardens will debut on August 25, 2026 from Amazon’s Comixology Originals exclusive digital content line.

Set in a beautiful beachside town, Battle in the Flower Gardens follows two adolescents on the precipice of adulthood. Culling from real life experience, Medeiros weaves a story of joy, sadness, and the magical feeling of summers that last forever, that will keep the reader engaged until the very last page. As for the art, Medeiros has divided the look of the art into two distinct and compelling styles to capture the journey of self-discovery and growth the character is experiencing.

Every summer, Luke goes to the beach with his parents and his best friend, Mitchell, with whom he shares various geek interests and pastimes. But this summer everything changes, testing and altering their friendship forever.

Like many teenagers in the 90s, Luke and Mitchell find refuge from their parents and the real world in the arcades. As the summer lingers on, the boys struggle to navigate their friendship, culminating in a battle over video game skills that has real life consequences and will reverberate amongst the teenagers forever.

Ultimately, Battle in the Flower Gardens is a story about family, friendship, and the unexpectedness of life.

Mister Invincible is a playful, inventive comic series by Pascal Jousselin starring a superhero whose power isn’t strength or speed but the ability to manipulate the comic page itself. He steps between panels, reaches across gutters, and bends time and space by treating the layout as his battlefield. The stories mix slapstick humor with clever format tricks, creating adventures that are as much puzzles as they are superhero tales, appealing to both kids and adults who enjoy seeing the medium turned inside out.

A Scoundrel in the New World

Written by Alain Ayroles
Illustrated by Juanjo Guarnido
$34.99 US | 160 PGS. | HC
On Sale 3/30/2027

A Scoundrel in the New World is a masterwork of European comics that serves as a spectacular (if unofficial) sequel to the seventeenth-century Spanish picaresque literary novel The Swindler (El Buscón) by Francisco de Quevedo.

The story follows the rogue Don Pablos of Segovia, a low-born but incredibly cunning scoundrel who travels to the New World (the “Spanish West Indies”) to escape his miserable past and find fortune. The narrative is framed as Pablos is interrogated by colonial authorities in Cusco, where he recounts his odyssey from the gutters of Spain to the highest palaces of the Americas. His journey takes him through the Andes and the Amazon as he chases the mythical El Dorado, constantly shifting identities from beggar to nobleman in order to survive.

Tunnels

Written and illustrated by Michaël Sanlavaille
$19.99 US | 160 PGS. | SC
On Sale 4/20/2027

Tunnels is a high-octane road trip adventure exploring family dynamics, grief, and mental health in a fantasy scenario from award-winning French cartoonist Michaël Sanlaville (Lastman, Banana Sioule).

A mundane family road trip sees a couple and their three daughters (Jolène, Samantha, and baby Mila) traveling in their Volvo station wagon toward a summer vacation. The narrative shifts abruptly when the family passes through a series of tunnels to find themselves in a distorted, nightmarish landscape. They are thrust into a deadly, high-speed chase, pursued by mysterious, black-helmeted drivers in futuristic racing cars. What starts as a claustrophobic survival thriller, described as a blend of Mad Max, Steven Spielberg’s Duel, and Wacky Races, evolves into a poignant exploration of family bonds and the psychological weight of loss. Sanlaville utilizes a nervous, cinematic art style to capture the relentless sense of motion, culminating in a surprising final act that shifts the story’s scale from action-adventure to an emotional family drama.

Peter Pan of Kensington

Written by José Luis Munuera and J. M. Barrie
Illustrated by José Luis Munuera
$24.99 US | 96 PGS. | HC
On Sale 4/27/2027

Peter Pan of Kensington is a lush graphic novel by José Luis Munuera (Fraternity) that serves as a “prequel” adaptation of J. M. Barrie’s classic work. Rather than retreading the famous Peter and Wendy, Munuera adapts the lesser-known 1902 text The Little White Bird, where Peter Pan first appeared as an infant-like “between-thing” who escaped his human life to live in London’s Kensington Gardens.

The story follows six-year-old Maimie Mannering, who becomes trapped in the gardens after lock-up. As night falls, the park transforms into a magical and often perilous realm ruled by fairies and talking animals. Mannering is rescued by Peter Pan, a wild and mercurial boy who can fly but lacks human empathy. While Peter tries to entice her to stay forever in his “imaginary island” within the park, Mannering struggles with the terrifying reality of the supernatural world and her desperate desire to return to her mother. Munuera uses a gorgeous, painterly style to capture the whimsical yet dark “Gothic-Victorian” atmosphere of Barrie’s original vision, focusing on themes of childhood innocence, the cruelty of memory, and the thin veil between imagination and reality.

Ter

Written by Rodolphe
Illustrated by Christophe Dubois
$29.99 US | 224 PGS. | HC
On Sale 5/4/2027

Collect the entire trilogy of writer Rodolphe and artist Christophe Dubois’s critically acclaimed science-fiction series Ter in a single omnibus volume! The series is a blend of “medieval-futurism” and high-concept speculative fiction that begins as a mystery and evolves into a grand space opera.

The story begins on a strange, lush planet called Ter, where a primitive society lives among the ruins of inexplicable, ancient technology. The narrative kicks off when a young grave robber named Pip discovers a naked, mute man sleeping inside a tomb. This stranger, nicknamed Mandor (or “Main d’Or” for the hand-shaped tattoo on his arm), possesses an uncanny, instinctive ability to repair complex mechanical objects that the locals treat as relics or magic. As Mandor regains his speech and integrates into the village of Bas Courtil, he is increasingly viewed as a messianic figure. The trilogy follows his quest to uncover his own origins, eventually revealing that the “planet” Ter is actually a massive, decaying generation ship, the Jupiter, and its inhabitants are the descendants of space travelers who have forgotten their history and turned their technological environment into a world of myth and religion.

This omnibus edition contains the entire trilogy in a single volume.

On Sale 6/8/2027 

Astrogamma is a visual experiment in science fiction by the Italian artist and designer of Golem, Lorenzo Ceccotti, better known as LRNZ.

The story is set in a world grappling with a bizarre biological and metaphysical crisis. It follows three main characters whose lives intersect during an apocalyptic event triggered by the appearance of “Astrogamma,” a mysterious, godlike sentai entity of energy. As giant insectoid creatures and strange phenomena begin to consume the city, the narrative shifts between a gritty, street-level survival horror and a grand, philosophical exploration of evolution and the end of humanity. It is a hallmark of LRNZ’s signature style that blends manga influences, heavy industrial design, and fluid, cinematic action.

Classic Wrestling Grapples with Ancient Horror in Mad Dog Morgan

This summer, The Lab Press hits you with the ultimate suplex! After a successful Kickstarter campaign earlier in the year to bring this wild passion project to life, the award-winning new graphic novel publisher is delivering indie wrestling hit, Mad Dog Morgan, to the masses in a gorgeous new hardcover edition available in book and comic stores from August 4.

Created by Adam Lawson and co-written with Brian Christgau, the book features art by Maxi Dall’O, colors by Patricio Delpeche, and letters by Dave Lentz. Equal parts The Wrestler and The Shining by way of House On Haunted Hill, Mad Dog Morgan is best described as “all-out indie wrestling meets a blood-soaked haunted house in an all-new original graphic novel.”

”Mitchell “Mad Dog” Morgan always dreamed of making it to the big arenas in wrestling, but never managed to crawl his way out of the indies. They were right about him when they said he was “just another jabroni.” Determined to drink his troubles away, he wanders into a crumbling house that’s more than it appears to be—leading to a supernatural world of horror that feeds on the hopeless. As the house tries to break him, Morgan realizes all of his failures had prepared him for this pivotal moment. He was not born to wrestle in the ring, but to fight an ancient evil that preys on the lost. Bloodied, brutalized, and on the brink, this washed-up jabroni will rise up to become the main event–or die trying.

Mad Dog Morgan first arrived in comic shops on July 29, before it debuts in book store sand online on August 4. The book features a main cover by interior artist Maxi Dall’o, and followed by a special Limited Edition cover featuring art by J.D. Knight. You can order it now from Amazon or your local book/comic shop.
