What Happens When Reality Fractures? Mad Cave Announces Temporal!

Written by madcave25
Published on 14 July 2025

A retired time thief. A broken birthday promise. A cosmic chain reaction that could collapse the multiverse.

Mad Cave Studios is proud to announce TEMPORAL, a wildly imaginative five-issue limited series from acclaimed writer Stephanie Williams (Nubia and the Amazons, Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur), with incendiary interior art by Asiah Fulmore (Amethyst: Princess of Gemworld, Batman: The Brave and the Bold). Featuring vivid colors by DJ Chavis, letters by Becca Carey, and covers that crackle with energy—Cover A by Brooklyn-based illustrator Taurin Clarke and Cover B by Khary Randolph (Wolverine: Black, White, & Blood)—this series is a retrofuturistic thrill ride about motherhood, identity, and the dangerous pull of the lives we leave behind.

TEMPORAL
Writer: Stephanie Williams – Artist: Asiah Fulmore
Colorist: DJ Chavis – Letterer: Becca Carey
Release Date: October 8th, 2025

Synopsis: Once upon a time, Savannah and Marcus were the most skilled temporal thieves in the business, slipping through history to acquire rare artifacts. That was before they settled down, had a son, and built a quiet life together. Ten years later, as their son Harper celebrates his birthday, Savannah questions whether suburban bliss is enough. When Harper’s disappointment over a replica gaming console triggers memories of her former life, Savannah makes a decision that could jeopardize everything she and Marcus have built. Against her husband’s knowledge and her best friend’s warnings, Savannah steps back into the portal for “one last job” – a simple mission to retrieve an original gaming console from the past. But nothing stays simple for long in a business where time is money. From acclaimed writer Stephanie Williams (NUBIA & THE AMAZONS, MOON GIRL AND DEVIL DINOSAUR: WRECK AND ROLL, THE RAVEN BOYS GRAPHIC NOVEL ADAPTATION) and rising comic artist Asiah Fulmore (AMETHYST: PRINCESS OF GEMWORLD and BATMAN: THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD) comes a thrilling new limited series about family, identity, and the dangerous allure of who we used to be. TEMPORAL explores what happens when your past and future collide—and the ripple effects that follow when you steal more than just objects from history.
