Meet Maxx 89, the latest and greatest innovation in the field of robotics! As a member of RoboForce–the crew of highly advanced androids that are redefining technological advancement on 22nd century Earth–there’s no job too big for him to handle. But when their creator’s newest invention is stolen by a rival company in a brazen act of corporate warfare, Maxx and the high-powered Detonator are determined to get it back . . . even if it means breaking company protocol!

A Mind-Bending Murder Mystery on the Streets of LA in Profane #1

BOOM! Studios has revealed a first look at Profane #1, the debut issue of a brand new mind-bending murder mystery from comics legend Peter Milligan, veteran artist Raül Fernandez, colorist Giada Marchisio, and letterer Jeff Eckleberry, that treads the precarious razor’s edge between reality and fiction. Coming to comic shops on June 5, 2024.

Will Profane is a seasoned private eye, and solving murders in the sunbaked streets of Los Angeles is his daily bread. But something is strange about his latest case. Every clue leads him back to a world-famous crime novelist lying at the center of this mystery–and dangerous truths about Profane’s own life.

Profane #1 features main cover art by star artist Javier Rodriguez and variant covers by acclaimed illustrators Mike Deodato with Jão Canola, and Marguerite Sauvage!
