Southern-fried Sword and sorcery gets its due… Grit returns to Print in July

Posted on by Leave a comment

Mad Cave Studios is bringing Grit back to print, returning readers to the brutal, off-kilter world from Brian Wickman and Kevin Castaniero, with colors by Simon Gough, and letters by three-time Ringo nominee Micah Myers.

From feral packs of bog-hounds to goblin gang wars, Old Man Barrow’s solved plenty of problems with the swing of his axe…but when a routine troll hunt spirals into a brush with a would-be doomsday cult, he may be in more trouble than he can chop his way out of. Saddled with Ari, a sharp-tempered witch with little patience for his blood-soaked ways, Barrow is dragged into grotesque occult rituals, the jeering warbles of trash-talking songbirds, and a fight he can’t win on his own…whether he admits it or not.

For readers who like their fantasy mean, weird, and a little unhinged, Grit sits alongside Head Lopper and Orc Stain, balancing brutality and dark humor without sanding down either edge. Originally released by Scout Comics in 2020, the series returns here in a new edition.

Grit goes on sale July 21, 2026, in paperback (ISBN: 9781545827369 | $17.99), and is now available for preorder from local comic shops, bookstores, and from Mad Cave directly. Final Order Cut-off is June 29.

Titan Comics announces The War of the Worlds: Thunder Child Vol. 1

Posted on by

Titan Comics has announced The War of the Worlds: Thunder Child Vol. 1 from writers Matt Hardy and Rob Jones and art by Kevin Castaniero. A dramatic tale that runs parallel to the events of H.G. Wells’ classic novel, The War of the Worlds.

The War of the Worlds: Thunder Child follows the exploits of the crew of the eponymous ironclad torpedo ram, the HMS Thunder Child. Sitting alongside the events of Wells’ novel, the story takes place against a backdrop of strange occurrences and creeping terror, all leading up to the Thunder Child’s final heroic showdown with the invaders from Mars.

This is a terrifying and thrilling tale soaked in blood, recriminations, sacrifice and loss, the first act in a new take on the well-known science-fiction classic with a unique cast and its own story to tell. A story of the horrors and conflicts of the crew as they experience the first desperate days of the Martian invasion and face the possible collapse of the British Empire and civilisation itself – threatened both from the stars… and from within.

The War of the Worlds: Thunder Child Vol. 1 is on sale June 2, 2026!

The Running Man and Squid Game meet the kinetic martial arts action of The Raid: Redemption in this fresh and ambitious graphic novel. In the near future, cancel culture means more than just losing your job…it could mean your life.

CANCELLED is the world’s premier entertainment event – a live-streamed program where elite bounty hunters called “Cancellers” kill individuals who society has voted to “cancel” following heinous actions or offenses. But CANCELLED is not just a form of violent entertainment. It’s one of the last forms of upward mobility for an increasingly oppressed lower / middle class. Want to escape the gig economy? Pay off your crushing student debt? Cover your sick parents’ medical bills? CANCELLED just might be your way out. But you’re going to have to get your hands dirty.
