Skybound Comet Reveals New 2025 YA Graphic Novels

Posted on by

Skybound Comet has announced its star-studded lineup of all-new original graphic novels launching in Summer and Fall 2025 everywhere books are sold.  

The latest round of Skybound Comet titles promises heartfelt and heart-pounding YA adventures starring three unforgettable female leads. Clementine Book Three, the highly anticipated and heart-wrenching finale of the Eisner-Award nominated YA trilogy by Tillie Walden, coming in June 2025;  Family Force V, the prismatic YA graphic novel about your new favorite alien fighting family by Matt Braly and artist Ainsworth Lin, coming in May 2025; and Pizza Witch, the graphic novel that cooks up a delicious world of magic for a wide range of readers by Sarah Graley and Stef Purenins, coming in September 2025. 

From the world of Robert Kirkman’s The Walking Dead comes the epic conclusion of Clementine, in which Tillie Walden holds absolutely nothing back. Clementine finally has it all–a safe place to live, a girlfriend, and even a cat…but nothing lasts forever. And when Clementine suffers a loss unlike anything she’s ever faced, a new mentor called The Gardener offers her a new family, and a new way of living… but at what cost?

Clementine Book Three

In Family Force V, fighting alien kaiju with your family on a Friday night is a totally normal part of being a teenager…right? Well, it is for Maise who, despite her protests, must continue the family legacy of keeping the world safe, all while trying to get good grades, impress her crush, and balance extracurriculars. But when tragedy strikes, Maise is forced to figure out how to be herself when she feels destined to be someone else for not only her family, but the world.

In Meet Ballpoint, the Decepticons are known for being bad…but Ballpoint is truly the worst –the biggest failure of them all. After the latest attempt to take down the Autobots goes horribly wrong, he’s kicked out of the evil Decepticons, for good! Will Ballpoint be able to prove his worth by defeating the Autobots all by himself? Or will he keep failing and find that being the “best” is …More than Meets the Eye?
