A Hidden Legacy, a Violent Path Forward, and Something Ancient Waiting at the End of the Trail. Don’t miss Cloven by Dan Panosian, David Ferracci, Lee Loughridge, and Pat Brosseau

In the dying days of the American frontier, survival is earned in blood, and legacy is something far more dangerous. Cloven, the new original series from Mad Cave Studios, pulls readers into a bleak, dust-choked world where inheritance is not a gift, but a reckoning.

Written by comics’ legendary creator Dan Panosian, with art by Italian illustrator David Ferracci, colors by Lee Loughridge, and letters by Pat BrosseauCloven brings together a powerhouse creative team, with covers by Panosian, Jacob Phillips, Mark Chiarello, and Travis Charest.

In the dying days of the American frontier, a young woman journeys into the unknown to claim a legacy she never asked for—and may not survive.

June Buckley’s father was a monster in life. In death, he may be something worse.

Summoned alongside a group of treacherous heirs, June is forced to traverse the same brutal path that built her father’s empire. But the trail reveals more than hardship—it exposes the rot in every soul traveling beside her.

And at the center of it all is Hendido…a creature bound to her father’s past, and perhaps to something far older and much more wicked.

As the tension simmers and night closes in, June begins to understand: Her inheritance comes at a grisly price.

Cloven is a slow burn descent into violence, inheritance, and the things we carry whether we want to or not.

Cloven #1 goes on sale July 29, 2026 (FOC July 7).

B vs Eldritch Horrors in BRZRKR: Poetry of Madness #1

BOOM! Studios has revealed a first look at BRZRKR: Poetry of Madness #1 from iconic filmmaker and record-shattering comic creator Keanu Reeves, acclaimed writer and artist Steve Skroce, and Eisner-winning colorist Dave Stewart. The first-ever BRZRKR one-shot special pits the immortal B. against a Lovecraftian nightmare, available this July 26th.

A sea of gore and devastation awaits as B., through a fateful chance encounter, safeguards the advanced and ancient realm of Atlantis as its unstoppable protector. But a deceived king serves as a symbol for the rot inside the kingdom, as the security and peace created through B.’s violence is shallow… The cracks created by a secret cult might spell a monstrous end for the legendary city, one beyond even B.’s ability to save.

BRZRKR: Poetry of Madness #1 features covers by Steve Skroce, Travis Charest, David Aja, and David Mack.
