Dick Tracy Goes to War in a New Veterans Day Special

Posted on by Leave a comment

Before the yellow coat, the badge, and a lifetime spent chasing criminals, Dick Tracy was a soldier.

Mad Cave Studios and Tribune Content Agency returns to the past in Dick Tracy: Veterans Day Special, a 40-page standalone story from writers Alex Segura, Michael Moreci, and Keir Graff, with art by Francesco Scimonelli, colors by Marissa Louise, and letters by Patrick Brosseau, featuring a main cover by Geraldo Borges and a variant cover by Francesco Scimonelli.

Dick Tracy is a soldier on the front lines of the deadliest conflict the world’s ever seen. Today’s assignment is supposed to be easy: Dick’s assigned to protect a camera crew gathering footage of the glories of battle. But there is nothing glorious about war. And this one will haunt the detective-to-be for years to come. 

Set years before Tracy became the detective readers know, Dick Tracy: Veterans Day Special turns its attention to an earlier chapter of his life and an assignment that exposes the distance between the image of war and its reality. What begins as a straightforward protection detail becomes an experience Tracy will carry long after leaving the battlefield.

A standalone entry in Mad Cave Studios’ Dick Tracy universe, Dick Tracy: Veterans Day Special offers longtime readers a deeper look at the man behind the badge while giving new readers a self-contained entry point into the series.

Dick Tracy: Veterans Day Special goes on sale November 11, 2026 (FOC October 19).

Just Brutal #5 adds a lot of info as it dives into the history of Winter and Jordan’s parents

Posted on by Leave a comment

As Jordan Savage struggles to use his father’s mystic sword against attacking Mordorks, his twin sister is locked in a battle of her own. Namely, her own anxiety and the legacy of her heroic mother, which has now suddenly been foisted upon her. It’s hard enough to live up to the reputation of a woman who you never understood and who you think doesn’t understand you, but it’s even harder when the entire human race depends on it! This penultimate issue of the first series of Just Brutal is not just a crucial inflection point in the plot, but it’s also the most emotional issue for our characters.

Just Brutal #3 focused on the characters and the impact of the weird events as everything changes!

Posted on by

Farklar the Fleshless is back, and the eons in exile have made him even more determined and powerful. Dex and Jan Savage are the warriors who banished him from this earthly plane the first time, but time still takes its toll, even on eternal warriors. Centuries with no mortal enemies to test their mettle have made them soft, and if they can’t beat Farklar, the consequences will be deadly. Not to mention, Farklar will enslave the whole world!

Just Brutal #2 reveals a lot of the backstory with some great art and lots of laughs

Posted on by

Life is changing fast for the Savage twins. The sudden revelation that their parents are eternal warriors who have spent their immortality protecting the earth from Farklar the Fleshless was jarring enough, but now they’re forced to take a family road trip to stop the evil warlord’s latest scheme! Jordan hates everything about this.

His twin sister Winter, on the other hand, thinks all of this is awesome! Too bad her connection with their monster-fighting father is driving a wedge between her and their mother. And just what is going on with their stepdad Gary Williams?

Romance is hard. Dating during a demonic apocalypse is harder. Find out how hard in Babylon Cove

Posted on by

Returning to your hometown is never easy, but for Heather Hutchens, it’s a nightmare… Babylon Cove is a five-issue horror romantic comedy series from Mad Cave Studios, written by Rafer Roberts with art by Joe Eisma, colors by Marissa Louise, and lettering by Crank!, featuring a variant cover by Eric Powell. 

This is a story about Heather, a no-nonsense career-gal who returns to her picturesque New England hometown for the first time in a decade to attend a family funeral; Dennis, the all-American dreamboat who broke Heather’s heart in high school; Charlie, the late-blooming shy boy who Heather never gave the time of day, and Karthon, the ancient demon with plans to feast on the flesh of everyone in town.

If you ever wondered what would happen if Stephen King were allowed to write one of those Hallmark holiday movies…Welcome to BABYLON COVE.

Blending sharp romantic comedy instincts with straight-up horror, Babylon Cove gleefully dismantles the love triangle, replacing polite small-town tension with monsters, mayhem, and emotional reckoning. 

Babylon Cove is about avoidance, self-sabotage, and the desperate need to be loved—where the real danger isn’t just the demon stalking the town, but the damage we do when we refuse to confront who we were, the harm we caused, and who we might still become.

Babylon Cove #1 (of 5) hits comic shop shelves May 20, 2026, with FOC on April 27.

Just Brutal #1 is a great start with entertaining writing, characters, premise, and fantastic art

Posted on by

Jordan Savage is a normal 16-year-old kid barely holding it together after his parents’ recent divorce. His twin sister Winter is his opposite in every way—including how she is coping with the changes in the Savage family’s lives.

And those changes are bigger than they could even imagine. They are about to find out that the boring, bickering parents they’ve lived with this whole time are secretly ancient death-dealing barbarian warriors. They have been living quietly for 3000 years, having defeated their nemesis—the evil sorcerer warlord Farklar the Fleshless—leaving the world safe for humanity. Only now, Farklar has returned, and his army of hideous Mordorks are about to devour Des Moines. Now the Savages are piled in Mom’s minivan headed for Iowa to wage war against Black Magic Armageddon. Jordan is freaking out, Winter thinks it’s all pretty cool, and no one is sure if Mom and Dad can get along long enough to save civilization from destruction.

Posted on by

This March, Mad Cave Studios, in partnership with Tribune Content Agency and New Wave Comics, invites readers back into the hard-boiled world of Dick Tracy for a festive one-shot gone green with chaos, criminal mischief, and the sharpest jawline in comics history. Dick Tracy: St. Patrick’s Day Special drops the legendary detective into a holiday caper where luck runs out fast, and the city’s most infamous crooks are feeling extra bold.

Written by the series own Alex Segura and Michael Moreci, featuring a guest spot from Tim Seeley, with art by Craig Cermak and Rebekah Isaacs, colors by Mark Englert and Marissa Louise, and letters by Patrick Brosseau, this standalone one-shot special leans into everything fans love about Dick Tracy: the clipped banter, the iconic rogues, the sucker-punch twists, and the relentless pursuit of justice. Cover A by Geraldo Borges with Mark Englert, Cover B by Jacob Phillips.

DICK TRACY’S LUCK RUNS OUT in this special St. Patrick’s Day-themed one-shot. When a masked vigilante starts taking out some of the City’s wealthiest – and most corrupt – citizens, Tracy and Sam must solve the crime while putting aside their own feelings. Can the new partners crack the mystery while trying to stay alive? From the team that brought you last year’s acclaimed and bestselling DICK TRACY HALLOWEEN SPECIAL! Plus, what’s a lovelorn Acres O’Reilly to do? Can she finally shed her bad luck and get the opportunity for happiness she so deserves?

For fans of classic hardboiled detective stories, evergreen newspaper strip nostalgia, and anyone who loves holiday specials with bite, Dick Tracy: St. Patrick’s Day Special blends the grit of The Untouchables with the celebratory chaos of a city that parties a little too hard. Perfect for long-time Tracy devotees and new readers looking for a sharp, punchy entry point into the franchise.

Posted on by

Dark Horse Books presents The Goon: Bunch of Old Crap Omnibus Volume 6, the newest omnibus volume of the award-winning crime pulp series now published under Eric Powell’s Albatross Funnybooks imprint.

Nameless Town is a tough place. So tough that the only one thing standing between you and that thing that crawled out of the sewer and ate your old neighbor lady before trying to shake you down for the cash in your pockets is a mob boss known as the Goon and his psychotic counter part that goes by Franky.

After strange journeys abroad, the Goon and Franky return to Nameless Town to find that a horde of unsavory characters has filled the void left in their absence. Our reluctant hero has his work cut out for him as he faces off against the likes of Seti the Southside Mummy, Vinny Nosferatu, and a Cro-Magnon mobster in a pinstriped suit who wants his blood.
