Great Things From Small Beginnings! Mad Cave Announces SUNDER
A Riveting Tale of Magic, Destiny, and Discovery
Great things come from small beginnings… Mad Cave Studios is thrilled to announce SUNDER, the forthcoming epic teen fantasy graphic novel by acclaimed creator Pierre-Alexandre Comtois (Shard), with colors by Mark Englert and letters by Buddy Beaudoin!
With over 20 years in animation, working on hits like Trolls, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, and The Addams Family, Comtois brings a wealth of expertise to Sunder. Inspired by European comics and long-form storytelling, this passion project combines rich world-building and vivid character expression with exceptional creativity.
SUNDER VOL. 1: SMALL BEGINNINGS
Writer & Artist: Pierre Alexandre Comtois
Colorist: Mark Englert – Letterer: Buddy Beaudoin
Release Date: May 6th, 2025
ISBN: 9781545817919
Synopsis: Great things come from small beginnings!
When a mysterious book appears in the library of a young monk named Zeek, he must embark on a quest to find its rightful owner. Unbeknownst to him, another dark figure has been searching for this very book for a very long time, sending his minions across the known planets and using dark magic to find it at all costs. When this evil figure realizes the manuscript has finally resurfaced, it sets events in motion that will send Zeek on an adventure unlike anything he could have ever imagined–leading Zeek to discover his true identity and destiny.
“The story of Sunder began with the development of its main character, Zeek,” said Pierre-Alexandre Comtois. “As I explored his identity and origins, the narrative gradually took shape, and once I determined the endgame, everything else fell into place. Influenced by my love for monsters, fantasy, and favorite works like Bone, Blacksad, Star Wars, Hellraiser, and Dark Souls, the story, its settings, and its characters were brought to life. Working with Mad Cave has been a dream; their deep care, trust in my vision, and unwavering support have made the process seamless, and I’m incredibly grateful for the partnership.”
Meet the Creators!
