DON’T FORGET YOUR BRIEFCASE
Writer: Eliot Rahal – Artist: Phillip Sevy
Colorist: Nia Sahadewa – Letterer: Frank Cvetkovic
Release Date: June 25th, 2025
Synopsis: Everywhere the President goes, there is a military liaison who follows, carrying a briefcase with the codes to launch a nuclear strike—and it’s just been lost. This is the story about what happens when a ten-year-old boy finds a nuclear football and accidentally brings the world to the brink of annihilation.
Writer, Eliot Rahal
Eliot James Rahal is a Minneapolis-based best-selling comic book writer and creator. He loves to sit quietly and then all of a sudden talk way too much.
Artist, Phillip Sevy
Phillip Sevy is an artist who has spent the last few years drawing for Marvel on titles like X-Men (Astonishing, Unlimited, and From the Ashes), Avengers, Venom, Deadpool, and others. They broke into the comics industry through the Top Cow Talent Hunt, where they drew The Tithe and The Freeze, before moving over to Dark Horse for a lengthy run on Tomb Raider. They wrote The House (with artist Drew Zucker), and wrote and drew Triage, Paradox, and Kepler (with David Duchovny). When they’re not feverishly working on comics, you can find them (literally) running around their neighborhood, hiking in the hills, or DMing endless sessions of DnD.
Fans of Chew, Something is Killing the Children, and Danger Street will find themselves right at home in this wild, maximalist ride through political satire and farcical misadventure. Packed with satire, action, and laugh-out-loud moments, Don’t Forget Your Briefcase is a story of control, destruction, and what happens when power falls into the wrong hands—literally.
Don’t Forget Your Briefcase #1 launches on June 25th, with Cover A by Phillip Sevy and Cover B by Marguerite Sauvage. Preorder now at your local comic shop or on the official Mad Cave Studios website!
