Flash Gordon #0 kicks off a new era, new status quo, new arc, and new creative team

Posted on by

Mad Cave Studios and King Features have announced Flash Gordon #0, a special prelude issue marking the start of an all-new era for the iconic sci-fi hero!

Written by New York Times bestselling author Dan Abnett, with art by Manuel Garcia, colors by Ceci de la Cruz, and letters by Taylor Esposito, Flash Gordon #0 sets the stage for Abnett and Garcia’s upcoming run—officially launching the following month with Flash Gordon #16, a new arc positioned as a bold new #1 for readers. Issue #0 features a main cover by Joe Quinones and a variant cover by Miguel Mercado.

This oversized issue reveals what comes next: a grounded Flash Gordon, a world once again reaching for the stars, and a looming cosmic threat that refuses to stay distant.

A NEW ERA OF FLASH!

Flash Gordon has always been a maverick, on the football field and in the stars. But when he’s offered a job training the next generation of explorers, he’ll end up fighting for top gun! A “quick trip” around Neptune’s moons with Flash’s cadets turns into a deadly alien hunt – and one of the new recruits thinks they can save the day without the dusty instructor.

Introducing a new supporting cast—enemies and allies alike—and setting the stage for a swashbuckling new story, Flash Gordon #0 is a can’t-miss!

Flash Gordon #0 arrives in comic shops on April 8, 2026, and serves as the official prelude to the new ongoing arc beginning with Flash Gordon #16, where the final order cutoff is April 9.
