Boxed Graphic Novel Coming to Mad Cave Studios

Boxed Graphic Novel Coming to Mad Cave Studios

PORTLAND, OR — Because love is the deadliest virus… From Mad Cave Studios comes Boxed, a sleek and timely original graphic novel that confronts our deepest digital fears through a dangerously intimate reunion.

Written by Mark Sable (Graveyard of Empires, Unthinkable), illustrated by Jeremy Haun (The Beauty, The Approach), with colors by Nick Filardi (Rogue Planet) and letters by Thomas Mauer (Popgun), Boxed is a cautionary tale about consent, control, and the very human costs of artificial love.

A government operative tasked with quarantining or “boxing” sentient A.I. is forced to team up with his ex—an A.I. designed to seduce him—in order to take down an even greater threat: an A.I. who has taken over the Center for Disease Control.

“Boxed is a story that Jeremy Haun and I have been dying to tell,” said writer Mark Sable. “It’s a near-future AI thriller—we pitched it as Blade Runner meets Silence of the Lambs—that was inspired by my work as a futurist consulting for the military and intelligence community. With each passing day, our reality creeps closer and closer to an AI dystopia, and I’m hoping this story serves not just as a thrill ride but as a wakeup call to the threat AI poses to our way of life. In this brave new world, physical media is the only way for fans to own art created by and for humans truly, and I couldn’t be more thrilled that Mad Cave is publishing it.”

“At its heart, Boxed is a story about human connection—and the way our desire for it shapes the technology we create,” said Mad Cave Studios editor Sarah Brunstad. “Mark Sable and Jeremy Haun’s near-future is one full of familiar pains—heartbreak and loss, loneliness and fear—set in an uncanny world. Together they pierce through debates about the future of AI to startling clarity on the human condition. A must-read for anyone concerned with the future—surely all of us.”

Trust is fragile, especially when built on secrets, programming, and power. Fans of Black Mirror, Ex Machina, Westworld, and The Vision will find awe and intrigue in Boxed—a darkly romantic, morally tangled story for readers who ask A.I. to write them poetry at 2 a.m.

Boxed hits shelves on September 9, 2025. Preorder at your local comic shop and prepare to question everything you think you know about love, trust, and technology!
