IT’S TIME TO ROLL FOR INITIATIVE!
For Lana, everything’s changing: college graduation looms, everyone might move away, and finals are over the horizon! Being with a group that’s had adventures together IRL since high school, Lana’s not sure she’s ready to say goodbye, at least not until they finally wrap up their very first campaign they’ve decided to finally finish. But when the DM’s partner joins the group, all rolls are at disadvantage. Can the party complete the quest in one piece?
Something else thrilling and exciting is coming… created for those who think differently, unafraid to be independent, who find freedom in the unexpected, and fight for who they truly are; Mad Cave Studios will be releasing our first young adult imprint, MAVERICK, this fall! Each original graphic novel will be 160 – 200 pages of a stand-alone story that gives the readers a view into situations and lives that mirror their own. Whether they’ve already lived through it, these stories shine a light on the moments that define the term: coming-of-age. We are so thankful for the opportunity to work on each of these projects with our incredible creators, as well as have your support on this MAD journey. Here’s to an amazing 2021, hope you’re ready!
