Mad Cave Announces 4 New Titles Coming Fall 2020!
Hollywood Trash (Oct. 7)
Writer: Stephen Sonneveld, Artist: Pablo Verdugo (Mr. Beaver), Colors: Jose Expósito (Mr. Beaver), Letters: Justin Birch (Knights of the Golden Sun, RV9)
Ah, Hollywood! Famous for celebs, sun– and murder cults! The Privy Council is the most exclusive club in town, headed by the entertainment industry’s top mogul, a ruthless exec who enlists his famous underlings to kill the people who stole from him, two local garbage men. James and Billy must survive one epic day of sword fights, forest fires, and giant mechs! At least there’s hazard pay. Hollywood Trash is five-issues of all-out action and wacky satire!
Villainous (Oct. 14)
Pantomime (Nov. 4)
Writer: Christopher Sebela (Crowded, Shanghai Red), Artist: David Stoll
(Metaphorical HER), Colors: Dearbhla Kelly (Red Sonja, Queen of Bad Dreams)
Haley and her brother Max are all alone after their mother’s death and a fresh start at Wayfair Academy, a special needs boarding school, isn’t what she expected. Normally, Haley would withdraw back into herself, but when she finds a family with other deaf kids, she embraces her new life and begins to come out of her shell. Until one night where the group dips their toes into crime, and the thrill is too much to leave behind. Though they soon find out by stealing from the wrong person, that this world isn’t for kids. With no one to turn to but each other, they will have to make a choice, one where no one will come out the same on the other side.
Terminal Punks (Nov. 11)
Writer: Matthew Erman (Long Lost, Power Rangers, Dark Crystal), Artist: Shelby Criswell (The Nib), Letters: Micah Myers (Dead Beats)
Four lousy, grimy and greasy gutter punk teens are en route to their big show in the big apple but when things go monstrously wrong and mutant animals are unleashed in the airport, our four punk heroes must put on their combat boots, fly their Black Flag and try to survive a viral genetic mutant nightmare.
A hilarious, wild, and fun thrill-ride! Terminal Punks is a blaring colorful love letter to the music and attitude of rebellion. It is also a tongue-in-cheek takedown of rich idiots doing stupid things for bad reasons.
Print copies of Villainous, Terminal Punks, Hollywood Trash, and Pantomime will be available at your local comic book shop, or on the Mad Cave Studios website. Digital copies can be purchased from content providers, including ComiXology.
