PORTLAND, OR — Mad Cave Studios invites readers to enter a future ruled by power—and follow the one girl who has none.
Announcing Breaklands Vol. 1, from writer Justin Jordan (Luther Strode, Spread, Dead Body Road), artist Tyasseta (Wasted Space), colorist Sarah Stern (Plush, Star Wars Adventures), and letterer Rachel Deering (Blade Runner: Origins, Annihilator)—a savage, post-apocalyptic tale where psychic forces have reshaped civilization, and the only thing more dangerous than power… is having none at all.
Mad Max meets Akira! In a future where history was reshaped by godlike psychics, Kasa Fain is the only girl in the world without a power of her own. When her brother is kidnapped, she’s going to need to use everything she has to get him back.
“A while back, I got to thinking: what if everyone had superpowers? And me being me, I figured this would be the end of the world,” said Jordan. “But then I wondered: what about after that? Breaklands is the answer, our anime-inspired Mad Max meets Akira adventure through a world where everyone is superhuman… except our hero. While I love digital comics, there’s nothing like the physical thing, so I’m beyond excited for Mad Cave’s collection of the book that (briefly, digitally, on Amazon) outsold X-Men.”
Series artist, Tyasseta, added, “I’m super excited to bring Breaklands back! I can’t wait to see the Mad Cave edition. “I hope it reaches many new readers who love adventure and great stories!”
For fans of Tokyo Ghost or Children of Men, Breaklands delivers brutal beauty and high emotional stakes—a story for anyone who’s ever been underestimated and came back swinging. Because sometimes, family is the only power that matters. This first volume collects issues #1–5, packed with vivid landscapes, fierce combat, and a raw emotional current that never lets up.
Breaklands Vol. 1 drops in shops on September 2, 2025, and is now available for preorder through your local comic shop or favorite bookstore.
