Fantagraphics has announced to publishing the newest book by Sole Otero, a “rising star of international comics” (Publishers Weekly Starred Review), on October 7th, 2025.

“Told as a fractured narrative and following a sisterhood of witches from the 1700s to the present, Witchcraft is a mesmerizing mystery to piece together.”

“Sole Otero’s English debut, Mothballs, was a quietly powerful graphic novel that asserted herself onto the international comics scene,” said editor Conrad Groth. “But now her newest work, Witchcraft, reveals the lofty heights of her creativity, talent, and literary ambition. It’s rich in ideas and meaning, effortlessly jumps in tone from introspective to eerie to hilariously raunchy, and showcases a stunning range of art and storytelling styles. Simply put, a powerhouse of a book that playfully pushes the comics medium forward. I am ecstatic that Sole’s books have a home at Fantagraphics.”

Sole Otero commented: “The release of Mothballs in English has been very significant for me since I’ve been reading American comics since I was a teenager. From far away I’ve dreamt about this unreachable world of graphic novels and authors and I am of course very happy to become a part of it. Witchcraft is an exercise of writing a mysterious dreamy story that gathers lots of my interests and shapes them as a horror fiction. For me it was supposed to be the challenge of building a universe where not everything needed an explanation but everything spoke about my surroundings and my country.”

New York Times bestselling, award winning creative team Brian K. Vaughan (Saga, We Stand on Guard, Paper Girls) and Niko Henrichon (Pride of Baghdad) are back with a provocative, hard hitting new graphic novel titled, Spectators. First serialized in Vaughan’s Substack newsletter, this jaw-dropping, lavishly hand-painted epic will be collected in its entirety at last and available in a stunning hardcover edition this September.

Spectators sees Vaughan and Henrichon together again—for the first time in nearly two decades since their award winning, contemporary classic Pride of Baghdad took the industry by storm—this time for their most ambitious project yet.

Now, Spectators promises to put the “graphic” back in graphic novel and will feature an unconventional supernatural romance, a critical exploration of sex and violence, and a deep dive into the very different ways we obsessively watch both.

Set hundreds of years in the future, New York City is haunted by many ghosts, including a voyeuristic woman who died in our present day and a mysterious gun-toting man from the distant past. Normally solo travelers, these two specters meet each other just in time to observe what might be the end of the (living) world.

Greg Rucka (The Old Guard) and Michael Lark, the Eisner Award-winning creative team behind New York Times bestselling sci-fi series, Lazarus, are returning to their neo-feudalist world with the final installment, Lazarus: Fallen. For the new series, Rucka and Lark are joined by Lazarus colorist Santi Arcas, letterer Ariana Maher, editor Alejandro Arbona, and graphic designers Eric Trautmann and Richard Howe on the creative team. In Lazarus: Fallen, which launches this June, warrior Forever Carlyle is finally free from the control of the power-hungry Carlyle Family that wielded her like a weapon, and this time Forever Carlyle means to burn down the world of the Families…even her own.

The Lazarus series follows Forever Carlyle, an unkillable, genetically-engineered soldier, controlled by the mechanisms of her father, Malcolm Carlyle. Malcolm is the patriarch of one of the powerful Families that rose to rule the world after an economic-driven apocalypse. The Families now own everything and everyone; in this neo-feudalist order, you are either of value to the Families and made a Serf, or you are irrelevant, disposable labor, called Waste.

But the Families are driven by greed, and in their unending pursuit of more and more, each created a Lazarus—a man or woman created and trained to be the loyal instrument of their Family’s will. Forever Carlyle is the Lazarus of the Carlyle Family, raised to absolutely believe in her duty to her family, and with an unquestioning loyalty to her father. That time is over, and now Forever—with the aid of her younger sister and next iteration of the Carlyle Lazarus, Infinity—means to destroy the world her father created.

“Michael and I started Lazarus back in 2013, and while we knew we were telling a story that was a distorted reflection of our world, I don’t think either of us imagined how less distorted that vision would become,” said Rucka. “But for all the talk about the world-building, about the vision of the future—or arguably, prescience of the present—Lazarus has remained, at its heart, about Forever’s journey. We’re finally getting to the resolution of it—the ending that we’ve been working on from the start. There’s so much I’m excited about sharing with this final run. There are things that I think will surprise some readers—some twists that they, perhaps, didn’t see coming. I know that it’s been a long wait for these final issues, and I’m grateful for the patience our audience has shown. We’ve got the most amazing fans, and that is both humbling and gratifying.”

The critically acclaimed The Horizon Experiment comic book series, led by Eisner and Harvey Award-winning The Good Asian creator Pornsak Pichetshote, will be collected into a first volume this April. As originally announced by Variety, the series features five unique “pilot” one-shots by all-star creative teams from across entertainment, with stories featuring diverse protagonists inspired by pop culture icons (like James Bond, John Constantine, and Indiana Jones), while exploring popular genre fare from a different perspective.

“The Horizon Experiment is me and some of the most talented people I know seeing what’s possible,” writes Pichetshote in the introduction of The Horizon Experiment, Vol. 1. “Five one-shots co-edited by one of the best editors in comics, Will Dennis, all released monthly and designed to act as pilots for follow-up books if sales merit. Everyone was given the same challenge: Create a protagonist from a marginalized background set in a popular genre where if the background of that protagonist changed, so would your story.”

Co-edited by Pichetshote and Eisner Award-winning editor Will Dennis (Somna: A Bedtime Story, Gideon Falls), the series kicked off with The Horizon Experiment: The Manchurian, written by Pichetshote and featuring illustrations by superstar artists Terry and Rachel Dodson (Adventureman, Harley Quinn), a scintillating thriller full of secrets and scandal, featuring a Chinese super spy inspired by James Bond. The Horizon Experiment series also features stunning connecting variant covers by Eisner Award-winning artist Tula Lotay.

The #1 New York Times bestselling author Charles Soule (Eight Billion Genies, The Lucky Devils, Star Wars, Daredevil) re-teams with dynamo artist Will Sliney (The Rise of Kylo Ren, Spider-Man) for the upcoming action/horror series The Cold Witch. This five-issue miniseries will join Hell to Pay and The Bloody Dozen in the ‘Shrouded College’ shared universe of titles and launch this May from Image Comics. As with each ‘Shrouded College’ series so far, The Cold Witch #1 Cover C will include a special, individually numbered collector’s “Hell Coin.”

“Seeing the Shrouded College universe grow with each new story has been one of the great joys of my writing career. Building this horror-adventure saga from scratch alongside Will Sliney, finding ways for each new chapter to be amazing on its own but part of the larger whole… and seeing fans start to understand what we’re doing and come on board… it’s the best,” said Soule. “The Cold Witch is our third chapter after Hell to Pay and The Bloody Dozen, and this is where the pieces really start to come together for the larger story. It’s a revenge piece set on the frozen steppes with cool folklore horror elements, and I think it’s our best yet. Lean, mean, and paced like lightning, it’s both a great starting point if this is your first Shrouded College story and a fantastic return to the universe if you’re already a fan.”

Fan-favorite poet and writer Chrissy Williams (and the editor behind bestselling series Die by Kieron Gillen and Stephanie Hans and The Wicked + The Divine by Gillen and Jamie McKelvie) reteams with artist Lauren Knight (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) and colorist Sofie Dodgson (Bitter Root, Tank Girl) for the upcoming Golden Rage: Mother Knows Best. This five-issue miniseries follow-up to their fan-favorite dystopian feminist tale is set to launch in April from Image Comics.

The new miniseries launch will also feature a stunning variant cover by artist Tula Lotay (Supreme: Blue Rose, Somna).

In a world where old and infertile women are deemed useless to society and abandoned on an island, Golden Rage documents their golden years of making friends, baking dessert, and fighting to the death. Golden Rage: Mother Knows Best builds upon the first miniseries for a glorious new adventure.

“I’ve always thought of Golden Rage as aspirational—I hope my days also end with such good friends and stabbing weapons,” said Williams. “I can’t wait to share this series with everyone.”
