New in Previews – March 2024
What’s a Summer without some excellent reads? We’re getting ready for a season jam-packed with adventure. From our electrifying, highly-anticipated original graphic novel, Attaboy, to the suspenseful mystery thriller, Sanction #1, and the English crime drama, Mugshots #1, we’re excited to share the hottest new story arcs hitting shelves this May!
We’ve got the latest look at the Mad Cave goodness coming to your favorite local comic shop soon! Check it out below!
Synopsis: “There’s a video game from when I was a kid that no one else seems to remember.”
Attaboy is an action-adventure comic disguised as an illustrated instructional booklet for a video game. The “byte”-sized hero is forced to avenge the destruction of his father and creator, Dr. Atta, by the sinister rebellious mechazoid Motherboard. However, the turn of each page unravels a much deeper story of pixelated thoughts, real world references, and heartbreaking truths.
