Eat Your Young

(W) Brian Buccellato (A) Mattia Monaco

Every hundred years, an ancient immortal clan faces a brutal reckoning: fight for survival, crown an Alpha, and pass on the gift of eternal life — while the rest fall back into mortality. Written by NY Times best-selling author BRIAN BUCCELLATO (NO/ONE, MIDLIFE, JUSTICE LEAGUE VS. GODZILLA VS. KONG), reteams with artist MATTIA MONACO (CHICKEN DEVILS) on this action-packed, blood-soaked family war.

What happens when a 2,000-year-old Immortal Warlord decides he’s done? In EAT YOUR YOUNG, EDMUND IRONS names his six-year-old daughter, ELSA, as the next Alpha of his immortal clan. But every hundred years, during a brutal 27-day window known as The Centurium, his children have one chance to rip out his heart and claim the throne — or lose their immortality forever. Now, Edmund’s thirty offspring — an iconic cast of genre archetypes like The Cold War Spy, The Serial Killer, The Vigilante, The Punk Rocker, and The Billionaire Futurist — turn on their father and each other in a zero-sum battle for eternal life.

It’s a Zero-Sum Battle for Eternal Life in Eat Your Young

What happens when a 2,000-year-old immortal warlord decides he’s had enough?

Mad Cave Studios unleashes Eat Your Young—a visceral, character-driven blood feud from writer Brian Buccellato and artist Mattia Monaco, with letters by Buddy Beaudoin, and Cover B by Stefano Simeone.

This explosive new six-issue miniseries doesn’t just raise the stakes—it drives them straight through the heart. Eat Your Young blends brutal combat, punk-era flashbacks, Cold War espionage, and raw emotional depth into a genre-smashing epic of family, legacy, and survival. Unflinching and relentless, it’s high-stakes storytelling at its most feral.

Edmund Irons, a 2,000-year-old warlord, names his six-year-old daughter, Elsa, as the next Alpha of his immortal clan. But every hundred years, during a brutal 27-day window known as The Centurium, his children have one chance to rip out his heart and claim the throne — or lose their immortality forever. Now, Edmund’s thirty offspring — an iconic cast of genre archetypes like The Cold War Spy, The Serial Killer, The Vigilante, The Punk Rocker, and The Billionaire Futurist — turn on their father and each other in a zero-sum battle for eternal life.
