Scott Hoffman Returns to Mad Cave Studios with Wag

Posted on by Leave a comment

Following the critically acclaimed title Nostalgia, Mad Cave Studios has announced Wag, the second graphic novel from writer Scott Hoffman (co-founder and member of the multi-platinum group Scissor Sisters). 

Designed by award-winning graphic designer Rian Hughes and illustrated by Juan Bobillo, Wag pairs genuine collectible appeal with a character-driven sci-fi story brought to life by expressive, clear-eyed artwork that connects across generations.

Wag, a loner in a post-apocalyptic world, hears voices in his head. It could be remnants of ancient technology (“old magic”), or he might just be crazy. With the aid of an ever-growing band of oddballs, Wag sets out on a quest to discover the source of his troubles—confronting strange and deadly enemies along the way—and ultimately fight an epic battle with the evil forces responsible for the collapse of civilization!

For fans of character-driven sci-fi, design-forward graphic novels, and post-apocalyptic stories that center on empathy, found family, and hope amid collapse, Wag is a natural pull-list pick!

The 144-page paperback arrives in comic shops and bookstores on July 21, 2026, with a Direct Market FOC of June 29.

Nostalgia Vol. 1

(W) Scott Hoffman (A) Danijel Žeželj (C) Lee Loughridge (L) Steve Wands

A reclusive rock star receives a mysterious package that forces him to face both his past and a resistance movement that represents all of the ideals he had once stood for.

In a world where fame can consume the soul, a once-revered musician has chosen isolation over the limelight. But when an unexpected package arrives at his doorstep, he’s thrown into a whirlwind of memories, regret, and a rebellion that seeks to rekindle the ideals he abandoned. NOSTALGIA is a raw and thrilling exploration of celebrity, redemption, and the power of music, crafted by Scott Hoffman AKA Babydaddy, the award-winning composer and musician behind the Scissor Sisters. With stunning visuals from renowned artist Danijel Zezelj, this gripping tale blurs the line between past and present, forcing its protagonist to face the very essence of what it means to create and believe.

WARM FUSION returns us to a rainy, rotting future New York City where Detective Hannover runs out of leads just as Nicholas and Mr. Barnaby accelerate their deluded, experimental plans. The investors arrive, sending Prophetiq into an urgency verging on panic. And an attempt to get Hannover out of the picture leaves Vin to fend for herself-and eventually make her way into the depths of the unknown to confront the true evil set to be unleashed!

Warm Fusion #1 is pretty standard neo-noir but with some interesting details and nice visuals

Posted on by

New York City, over two decades into the future, has been devastated by crime, ongoing storms, radiation from a terrorist incident in Times Square and the genetic mutations caused by a life-saving “cure.” After a series of murders rip through the city’s brothels, an escort named Vin Young, who cosplays as Snow White- and is one of the generation of deformed victims – decides to help find the killer, or killers, responsible, reluctantly joining forces with Jarrod Hannover, the lone cop assigned to the case. The two are led to a biotech megacorp launching a cellular metal called Warm Fusion – a pioneering technology meant to replace prosthetics limbs – and soon confront the sociopathic scientist Nicholas Fleischer, his monstrous alter-ego Mr. Barnaby, and the hideous monster that he’s been secretly creating.
