Far Down Below TP
Writer: Chris Condon
Artist: Gegê Schall
Publisher: Mad Cave Studios
In the muggy Pennsylvania summer of 1983, teen friends Jeff and Brian seek escape from rainy day boredom by exploring Brian’s abandoned — and apparently haunted — family home on the other side of town. What they find instead is a secret that will unlock the doors to adventure and danger as they descend beneath the surface, encounter terrifyingly strange creatures, and journey far, far down below to discover a strange new world… and themselves.
Far Down Below is a true exploration of discovery and danger. With Chris Condon‘s impeccable blend of intrigue and horror along with Gegê Schall’s phenomenal artwork, Far Down Below has to be one of the best debut issue of 2025 and is poised for a top comic of the year honors if future issues are anything like this issue. – CLICK HERE to read the entire review of the first issue

After her mad-scientist father is killed by the world’s greatest spy, 13-year-old Annalise is left all alone in the world. Sort of. Her dead dad’s robot bodyguard won’t stop following her around for some reason. Now Annalise has a choice: try to lead a normal life for the first time ever…or seek revenge and maybe overthrow the world order in the process.
We’re Taking Everyone Down With Us is an extremely promising start to what could be another fantastic comic series from Matthew Rosenberg.
