Ferocious

A young man swears vengeance on the draconic warrior woman who laid waste to his entire village. But in order to claim it, he’ll have to seek training… from the warrior woman herself.

A tavern boy’s sheltered life is overturned by the arrival of a towering, draconic woman, a wayward soldier from a distant war who single-handedly lays waste to his entire village. He swears an oath of righteous vengeance but in order to fulfill it he’ll have to seek training…from the warrior woman herself. Ferocious is epic fantasy on an intimate scale, a revenge thriller like no other, one that stirs the heart as it goes for the jugular.

The Last Session: The Complete Campaign, Coming Soon in One Definitive Edition

Selected as one of YALSA’s Great Graphic Novels for Teens and a New York Public Library Best Book for Teens, Mad Cave Studios’ Maverick imprint brings The Last Session: The Complete Campaign, collecting both volumes of the celebrated YA graphic novel series!

Written by California-based writer Jasmine Walls, with art and a brand-new cover by Dozerdraws, and lettering by award-winning letterer Micah MyersThe Last Session: The Complete Campaign brings both volumes together in a single, cohesive edition. The series uses the framework of a tabletop campaign to explore identity, distance, and the ways friendships evolve.

It all kicks off with book one, where we meet Jay, Lana, Drew, Walter, and Shen. This tight-knit group of friends began playing Dice & Deathtraps in high school. Now dealing with college and all the twists and turns of their lives, their weekly game has been a wonderful constant. But, as college graduation looms and it feels like their lives are all moving down very different paths, Lana’s thrilled to finally complete the party’s unfinished original campaign. But when Jay’s partner Cassandra joins the game, Lana refuses to let her inexperience ruin the best part of her week! But in the end, that may be Lana and the party’s undoing

Then in book two, a new party is formed! Erika, Jacob, Marcelle and Damien have become popular online personas, each with a huge following on their corner of the internet. The only thing they have in common is that they used to be close friends until they drifted apart in high school, leaving their Dice & Deathtraps game unfinished. Now, four years later, their old game master Amina has reached out with a chance to reunite, save the community center that fostered their creativity, and finally finish their abandoned campaign. They have one night to do it, streaming to a live audience with tensions and old grudges on the rise. Can they mend their fraying friendship or will this last session cut their ties for good?

If Critical Role and The Adventure Zone are your speed, then The Last Session offers a character-driven story about friendship, change, and the spaces—real and imagined—that will bring people together.

Clocking in at 304 full-color pages, The Last Session: The Complete Campaign goes on sale July 7, 2026, in paperback (ISBN: 9781545827840 | $29.99). Final Order Cut-off is June 15.

The W0RLDTR33 Book One deluxe hardcover will collect issues #1-16—as well as a cover gallery and initial design material—and will hit shelves in September from Image Comics.

A dark techno-thriller about hackers who discover a hidden layer of the internet that can reshape reality and is rapidly learning how to control it.

War Wolf Vol. 1

(W) Steve Orlando (A) Marco Perugini

Thomas Bruin. A man plucked from obscurity by circumstance, who saves his town from an alien scout team, and then makes an unholy bargain to save the world from the invasion that follows. This alchemy of actions and secrets makes Bruin a worldwide celebrity, which he leverages to his advantage, but there’s just one problem– the clock’s ticking. Because only Bruin knows that he didn’t truly defeat the aliens so many decades ago, and as he reaches the twilight of his career, the bill comes due.

After he fends off an alien invasion, Thomas Bruin goes from a nobody security guard to Earth’s greatest hero! He’s got a supercharged launchpad and no ceiling. Bruin rises from celebrity to congress, then to the head of the planet’s first orbital security force. He’s married into one of the country’s most powerful political families, he’s surfing a wave of endorsements, and he’s the very symbol of human resilience. So why is Bruin nervous? Because only he knows his great victory is a lie. When the aliens return to Earth, stronger than ever, Bruin has no choice but to be the hero he’s fooled the whole world into thinking he is…or die trying.
