Cole is a repo man of the highest caliber, repossessing heavily guarded mega yachts from billionaires, private planes from captains of industry, and everything in-between.

A coming-of-age journey adrift, where survival and self-discovery collide, Across the Widest Sea is coming this Summer from Maverick

Posted on by Leave a comment

This summer, Maverick brings readers Across the Widest Sea, a visually arresting and emotionally grounded graphic novel exploring what it means to be cast into adulthood before you’re ready.

Created by author and illustrator Jean Cremers, with lettering by award-winning letterer Taylor Esposito and translation by Joe Johnson, who brings the story seamlessly to English-language readers.

Across the Wildest Sea sits in the in-between, where nothing is fully formed and nothing feels certain. Cremers’ fluid, expressive artwork carries that tension, letting the disorientation of growing up live on the page without forcing resolution.

Abandoned in the middle of the ocean by her parents to learn to fend for herself, Leonie must find dry land. She meets Balthazar, a teenager whose canoe is taking on water, and Agatha, who lets herself be carried by the current and no longer has any hope of landing. They join forces to find a shore. A metaphorical story about the transition from adolescence to adulthood.

Blending quiet character work with visual metaphor and atmosphere-driven storytelling, Across the Wildest Sea is perfect for readers drawn to introspective, emotionally grounded YA storytelling. 

Across the Widest Sea arrives July 14, 2026, in paperback (ISBN: 9781545827314 | $19.99).

Space Ghost Soars Into Second Annual Ahead of Star-Spanning Event!

Posted on by Leave a comment

As the summer heats up, fans are invited to join Space Ghost in soaring through another awesome comics annual from the critically acclaimed creative team helmed by David Pepose, Jonathan Lau, Andrew Dalhouse, and Taylor Esposito! Space Ghost Annual #2 lifts off this July, once again serving as an extra-sized, fun-filled capstone to the past dozen issues aka “Season Two” as well as teeing up teases for what’s to come next in the best-selling series from Dynamite Entertainment and Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products.

Space Ghost, Jan, and Jace are trying to mourn their recent losses, but get hit with a massive curveball when the master thief Magnus and his mysterious, reality-warping partner known only as The Alien set out on a dangerous heist. They’re on the case to discover the deadly secret behind this mind-bending, cosmic crime spree. 

In addition to the madness of Magnus, this can’t-miss comic book annual also acts as a prelude to the next Space Ghost adventure, as the space-faring squad careen towards a historic meeting with… The Herculoids! More info on that thrilling crossover are coming soon!

Pepose continues his approach to the character and mythos that has been showered with praise for melding the original whimsical DNA of the Hanna-Barbera cartoon with pulse-pounding superhero storytelling. With most issues being one-off stories or short arcs, each and every issue offers readers something special as the larger stories continue developing. Prolific powerhouse artist Jonathan Lau brings all that energy and more to the page, with his dream project allowing him to fully unleash the action he’s mastered.

The issue features covers by Lau, Bjorn Barends, Tom Raney, as well as superhero genre icon Jerry Ordway.

Space Ghost Vol. 2 #10 begins to wrap up the volume as Tempus the Time-Master attacks!

When the Ghost Planet team arrives to prevent the Council of Doom from escaping during an attempted prison break, our heroes are suddenly confronted by this rogue chrononaut — who quickly proves to be a far greater threat than anything they have faced before. As Jan, Jace, and Blip are scattered helplessly across the timestream, can Space Ghost find a way to counter Tempus’s seemingly unlimited abilities before his own time runs out?

From rising stars Tim Daniel & David “D.B.” Andry (Crush Depth, Morning Star) and modern horror virtuoso Maan House (Mine is a Long Lonesome Grave) comes a chilling tale of secrets buried deep beneath the surf of the idyllic California coast . . .

When marine archaeologist Maris Cristobal accepts the nun’s offer to begun excavating a fabled shipwreck lying in wait beneath the Mission’s turbulent waters, she’ll soon discover that the sins of past and present are about to wash together into a harrowing surge of a vengeance that can no longer be contained . . .

Welcome to our revamped “Crowdfunding Corner” rounding up some of the latest crowdfunding news. We’re going beyond just announcement projects, we’ll be tracking to make sure these projects get delivered as well as what we think the “risk” of backing them are.

Underwater royalty, Bloodwake is a character exiled from his homeland, resulting in a summer camp slasher the sea creature finds himself in the midst of.

Testaments of Terror #2 will then launch late summer and feature a story called Harrow: Feast in the Furrow, written by Barnhardt with art by Michel Abstracto. A scarecrow possessed by the spirit of an early Midwestern settler, Feast in the Furrow evokes the stickiness of humid late summer days through a sweaty murder mystery the eponymous anti-hero finds himself embroiled in. The lead suspect? A murder of crows who’ve seemingly managed to form a human body and force it to do their bidding.

Will Eisner Hall of Fame creator Stephen R. Bissette’s TYRANT, the never-before-collected dinosaur masterpiece, is now live on Kickstarter from new publisher Lighthouse. The campaign offers multiple deluxe editions designed by acclaimed cartoonist Jim Rugg as well as rare & limited premium items.

Lighthouse founder and publisher Chris Stevens previously published the Eisner and Harvey Award-winning LITTLE NEMO: DREAM ANOTHER DREAM (also designed by Rugg) and has savored the relationship with Bissette, which developed since the legendary John Constantine co-creator and SWAMP THING artist’s participation in that project.

The clock is ticking in Harbor City: if there is a fifth ritual killing committed by the sinister cult started by Bixby Grant’s brother Max, a hellmouth will open and bring about hell on earth. To find the ancient dagger needed for this killing, Bix has chased a ghost, had his arm ripped off, thrown a cat-burglar off a building, shaken down mystics, been brain-probed by a nine-year-old witch, and is now in the clutches of the mysterious society of monsters known as The Council Macabre. With the help of Diego, the rockabilly vampire, Bix discovers the identity of the killer who has picked up where his long-lost brother left off in a secret lair beneath the streets of Harbor City.

Issue #4 also continues the eight-page backup Zombietown, featuring art by Argentinian artist Gonzalo Ruggieri (Rumble, Convert, Two Moons), which follows Detective Maritza Ramirez deep into the undead-controlled quarantine zone known as Z-Town, where her search for the truth behind her father’s disappearance puts her face-to-face with Il Cosa Muerte, the zombie mafia!
