Read From Either Side: Yoann Kavege’s High-Concept Fantasy Epic Brings Two Stories Together in the Middle!

This fall, Mad Cave Studios’ YA imprint Maverick invites readers to choose where the story begins with Fantasy, an inventive fantasy graphic novel from writer and artist Yoann Kavege and letterer Justin Birch, with translations by Nanette McGuinness.

One on a quest for vengeance, the other on a quest for love! Their destinies intertwine in Fantasy—a graphic novel with two perspectives, and two stories. For Alma, it’s the big day: Chosen by the kingdom for the ritual of the bleeding of the gods, the crown princess will journey to the lands of the gods to slay one, and thus avenge an affront to humanity 500 years old. For Yourcenar, it’s the big day: The Oracle finally predicted that she will encounter her beloved. But the young giantess soon realizes that her beloved is human…and thus begins a wait that will last one thousand years. What happens when these two worlds collide? Read Fantasy and find out–with each perspective starting on opposite sides of the book and meeting in the middle!

Part high-fantasy quest, part love story, Fantasy pairs gods, giants, ancient grudges, and impossible destinies with a unique reading experience built around two characters moving toward the same inevitable collision. The result is two stories in one, inviting readers to decide whose journey they want to experience first!

Fantasy goes on sale November 24, 2026 (FOC November 2), in paperback (ISBN: 9781545836163 | $19.99) and hardcover (ISBN: 9781545836156 | $29.99) formats.

A GHOST ARM MADE OF ANGRY GHOSTS HC

WRITTEN BY OLIVER MERTZ
ART & COVER BY ALEX DIOTTO

From writer and colorist extraordinaire Oliver Mertz (The Monuments, First Law of Mad Science) and acclaimed artist Alex Diotto (Youth, Indigo Children) comes a weird tale of conspiracy, faded superheroics, and suburban angst in ʼ90s Washington, D.C.

Sixteen-year-old Ari Ackerman just witnessed a murder. Or two. Or maybe he didn’t. He’s not quite sure. What he does know is that he loves the Washington, D.C., punk scene and is trying very hard to process the perpetual impending death (and frequent resurrections) of his cancer-stricken father. Ari’s best friend, Maya Meng, just wants to hang out and go see Jawbox play at the Black Cat. But sadly, an escalating series of unexplained deaths can really ruin a perfectly good day.

For readers who like What’s the Furthest Place from Here?, Love and Rockets, David Lynch, Daniel Clowes, Seinfeld, Agatha Christie, Powers, Fugazi, and Wes Anderson, A Ghost Arm Made of Angry Ghosts is sure to evoke all the feelings that come with being an outsider, making sense of the world around you, and finding your place in it.

HAUNTED COMIC CLUB SC

CANTICLE OF LOST SOULS HC

WRITTEN BY MICHELE MONTELEONE
ILLUSTRATED BY FREDDIE TANTO
COLORED BY FRANCESCO SEGALA

This dark exploration of identity and responsibility in the face of evil from Michele Monteleone (Dylan Dog) and Freddie Tanto (Ghost Stories) is an engrossing journey for fans of young adult fantasy!

Teenage orphan Leah lives in a small village a few miles away from the deadly swamp. According to local legend, in ancient times the swamp was a lake with an imposing castle at the center, until someone awoke something behind those walls that needed to be kept asleep, and the castle collapsed as the swamp took over. Now people live precariously on its borders, as the swamp spawns “things” that the Church calls Demons.

When her village’s greatest hero is killed fighting off one of these monsters, leaving the shriveled, weak remnant of its evil contained in a lantern, Leah is chosen to carry the demon to the center of the swamp and cast it into the black pit. But as she journeys she’ll encounter greater threats than that held tightly in her hand, and the demon raises questions about why Leah would risk her life for the village that would send her on this perilous task in the first place.

What will Leah find in the ruins of the collapsed castle and the black pit? How far do we have to travel to know ourselves?
