Beat Every 1-Up

(W) Lan Pitts (A) Joe Hunter

A high-action, beat ’em up with a tender heart and a humorous point of view for fans of arcade cabinets and fighting games.

Listen up! This is the fisticuff-filled tale of Princess Helia of Terrager: a natural-born fighter since childhood, Helia must head out into the wider world when her soon-to-be-husband is groom-napped on their wedding day by the atrocious ape, and would-be world conqueror, Gogo. But what does a sheltered princess know of the other realms? Well, not a whole lot. Luckily, Helia is joined by her (only) friend and bodyguard, the ice witch, Sidra. Together, the pair will brave the deserts of Flaterra, the blizzards of Frosterra…uh, you get the idea…until they’ve rescued the wayward prince, thwarted Gogo, and punched every henchman they can find. And maybe, by the end of their journey, Helia and Sidra will realize their connection goes beyond mere friendship… …find out in BEAT EVERY 1-UP, a young adult graphic novel that will bring a new definition to “your princess is in another castle!”

The Game of Love. For the Love of the Game. Beat Every 1-Up is coming in March 2026

Maverick, the young adult imprint of Mad Cave Studios, levels up with Beat Every 1-Up, the heart-on-its-sleeve graphic novel from writer Lan Pitts and artist Joe Hunter. With letters by Frank Cvetkovic, this 184-page beat-em-up rom-com invites readers to press start on a riotously queer adventure about self-discovery, friendship, and most of all, first love.

Listen up! This is the fisticuff-filled tale of Princess Helia of Terrager! A natural-born fighter since childhood, Helia must head out into the wider world when her soon-to-be-husband is groom-napped on their wedding day by the atrocious ape and would-be world conqueror, Gogo. But what does a sheltered princess know of the other realms? Turns out, not a whole lot.

Luckily, Helia is joined by her (only) friend and bodyguard, the ice witch Sidra. Together, the pair will brave the deserts of Flaterra, the blizzards of Frosterra…uh, you get the idea…until they’ve rescued the wayward prince, thwarted Gogo, and punched every henchman they can find. And maybe, by the end of their journey, Helia and Sidra will realize their connection goes beyond mere friendship…

If you love Scott Pilgrim, Chef’s Kiss, or Everyday Hero Machine Boy, this one’s for you. Part She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, part Double Dragon, and 100 percent heart, Beat Every 1-Up mixes magical-girl aesthetics with video-game-style storytelling and a glitchy sense of humor for fans of arcade cabinets, fighting games, and queer rom-coms alike.

Beat Every 1-Up is available wherever books are sold on March 17, 2026, and in comic shops on March 18, 2026.

Fractured Realms is edited by Paul Carroll and Gary Moloney, and received support from the Arts Council’s Literature Project Award. The anthology contains 24 short comics from Irish and international creators, including work from: Sarah Amundson, Kaydee Artistry, Sierra Barnes, Daniel Beals, Nick Bryan, Patrick Buermeyer, Vinicius Carreiro, Paul Carroll, Alice Coleman, Colin Craker, Aaron Cruz, Robert Cullen, Ryan Estrada, Anna Everts, Triona Farrell, Aaron Fever, Benjamin Filby, KG Gaynier, Oliver Gerlach, Adam Gilbert, Travis B Hill, Sean Hogan, DC Hopkins, Ben Humeniuk, Liam Johnson, Rob Jones, Seamus Kavanagh, Dearbhla Kelly, James Killian, Rapha Lobosco, Andriy Lukin, Michiums, Marin, Hugh Madden, Aline Martins Dos Santos, Adlai McCook, John McGuinness, Alyssa Meier, Mariana Meira, Gavin Mitchell, Chris Mole, Gary Moloney, Oscar Osorio, Chris Panda, Benjamin Paulus, Christian Abel Peña, Lan Pitts, Nikki Powers, Jack Reikel, Andrea Schiavone, Rae Stevenson, and Gustaffo Vargas. It fearures cover art by Nick Roche and JP Jordan.

Fractured Realms is the thirteenth book to be published by Limit Break Comics. Earlier this year, the collective-publisher celebrated its fifth birthday and a nomination in the European Science Fiction Society Hall of Fame Awards for Best Publisher.
