On Sale 1/26/2027

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.

Wahcommo: KAYA

Written and illustrated by Luis NCT
$29.99 US | 144 PGS. | HC
On Sale 3/30/2027

Wahcommo: Kaya is the direct sequel to Spanish cartoonist Luis NCT (Killadelphia, Empty Zone)’s acclaimed graphic novel Wahcommo. It continues the story of Kaya, the fierce young warrior who defied her tribe’s patriarchal traditions to become a “Seeker.”

In this standalone adventure, Kaya deals with the fallout of her previous quest. Having returned to her tribe with the treasures of the North, she must now navigate the political and social consequences of her success. The book maintains Luis NCT’s signature “painterly” art style, blending high-fantasy adventure with a grounded exploration of cultural shift, legacy, and the weight of being a pioneer in a world resistant to change.

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.

Astrogamma

Written and illustrated by LRNZ
$19.99 US | 160 PGS. | SC
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.

Exclusive Reveal: Exclusive Enamel Pins from Run and Guillaume Singelin’s LOBA LOCA

In partnership with France’s Label 619, Oni Press and Magnetic Press have announced the Kickstarter campaign for LOBA LOCA, a new graphic novel set in the MFKZ Universe from internationally acclaimed creators Run and Guillaume Singelin. With Luchadores, lunatics, and long-buried secrets lurking around every corner, LOBA LOCA is a high-octane odyssey of self-discovery. Fans can support the graphic novel on Kickstarter now. 

Rebellious seventeen-year-old Guadalupe “Guada” Mayflower is just trying to survive the mundane misery of school bullies and social media scandals. But when an explosive, caught-on-camera outburst lands her under house arrest, she starts digging through her mother’s attic and unearths a diary that shatters everything she thought she knew about her family, including the true identity of her infamous father. Guada soon finds herself on a dangerous road trip through the city’s criminal underbelly. From legendary luchadores to ruthless underworld figures and reality show stars, she must navigate a world of violence to confront her past and define her future. 

Spinning out of Guillaume “Run” Renard’s 2002 short film “Mutafukaz: Operation Blackhead,” MFKZ has grown into the hit Netflix film from Studio 4C directed by Shôjirô Nishimi and Renard and starring English language voice actors Vince Staples, Kenn Michael, Giancarlo Esposito, Danny Trejo, and RZA as well as a groundbreaking graphic novel series. Now Run is teaming up with renowned animator and cartoonist Guillaume Singelin to return to the fan-favorite MFKZ Universe and expand it with a one-of-a-kind road trip in LOBA LOCA. 

In addition to the softcover edition of LOBA LOCA, Magnetic Press is also producing a Deluxe Hardcover and a Limited Edition Slipcase Edition, which will feature a foil-stamped textured slipcase, foil-stamped bookplate, and an exclusive set of enamel pins.

Crowdfunding Corner: Frontier explores mankind’s foray into colonizing space

Backer Beware: Crowdfunding projects are not guaranteed to be delivered and/or delivered when promised. We always recommend to do your research before backing.

Now live on Kickstarter, graphic novel publisher Magnetic Press has launched the sci-fi adventure, Frontier! From celebrated author and designer Guillaume Singelin—best known for his distinct blend of cartoon-ish, manga-styled characters in gritty, detailed environments—this premium 200-page graphic novel is produced by Studio 619 and is the creator’s most ambitious project to date. 

After 10 years designing and developing the next generation of exo-archaeological probes, scientist Ji-Soo is sidelined from her own project in a buyout by megacorp Energy Solution.

There, her first time in space, she discovers just how complex life beyond Earth can be.

Frontier is available in three physical formats: a trade paperback edition that will be available in retail stores next year, a premium hardcover edition that will only be available through the campaign and from Magnetic directly, and a deluxe limited-edition slipcase bundle. The bundle will include a numbered bookplate signed by the author, an etched metal “traveler ticket” bookmark, an exclusive 75mm 3D-printed statuette of one of the characters, and a 2” metal currency token. Only 250 bundles will be made available during the campaign.

The Frontier Kickstarter ends Friday December 1st.

Review: DC vs. Vampires: All-Out War #1

DC vs. Vampires: All-Out War #1

DC vs. Vampires has been an epic maxi-series so far. The story has had a world where the superheroes and villains have slowly been turned by the vampire nation until it’s far too late. Now, the vampires have taken over with vampire metas ruling all. All that’s left is a small group of heroes and villains who are broken and desperate to stop what’s going on. The series has been generally contained with a few one-shots and now DC vs. Vampires: All-Out War #1.

Written by Alex Paknadel and Matthew Rosenberg, the issue follows a desperate Deathstroke as he leads a team in an attempt to resurrect Batman. Of course things go wrong leading to some surprise twists, turns, and losses. And, that’s one of the things that has been great about the series. With it being a story unto itself, heroes and villains can die and be turned into vampires. It leaves you guessing as to who you can trust and who is a threat. It’s fun to read a comic and not be sure who’s turning up and whose side they’re on.

DC vs. Vampires: All-Out War #1 does a great job of worldbuilding as well. We’re introduced to a new sanctuary for humans. The issue takes us through it all, how it works, what the leadership is like. We get a sense of what the world is like for them and the challenges they face. We also get to see a lot more heroes and villains who we might have wondered where they are. And finally, it creates further tension. The one thing that has hampered our heroes (and villains) is that they’ve been unsure as to what to do. That continues here with more fighting and a fractured front.

The art by Pasquale Qualano is very interesting. Done in black, white, grey, and red Nicola Righi handles the tones with Troy Peteri on lettering. I like the design of the characters, world, and the style fits well with the story and genre. But, at times I had some issues figuring out the details and what’s going on. Still, there’s something that’s really cool about the choice. There’s some great dynamic panels and pages in the issue that really show off the world.

Guillaume Singelin handles the story and art for a bonus story featuring Jim Gordon and what remains of the Gotham PD. It’s a great addition answering some questions. Like the above, you don’t know who you can trust. But, also like the above the art is a bit muddled at times to figure out what’s going on.

DC vs. Vampires: All-Out War #1 is a solid addition to the overall story. It tackles what else is going on with events that wouldn’t fit in the main series, not just in length but with the narrative itself. It shows a side mission that’s pretty vital to the overall event and answers some questions as well as opening up some intriguing possibilities.
