comics / By

Celebrated writer Mark London brings worldbuilding to new heights with three new series, beginning with REVOLUTION 9

Immerse yourself in the Underworld, where covert ops, clandestine activities, and shadowy figures reign supreme!

Independent comic book publisher Mad Cave Studios is thrilled to announce the ambitious new project by its CEO and acclaimed author, Mark London (Battlecats, Hunt.Kill.Repeat., Honor & Curse), featuring a shared universe known as the UNDERWORLD, united by common themes of secrecy, intrigue, and danger.

Three new miniseries will launch in Fall 2024, each penned by London: REVOLUTION 9 in September, HOUR OF THE WOLF in October, and EXIT CITY in November. Each of these four-issue titles can be savored as a standalone serial—unique in aesthetic, characterization, and setting—while weaving an intricate web that subtly binds the three series together. These interconnected strands will then pull together in ENDLESS NIGHT, the must-read crossover scheduled for Summer 2025!

Synopsis: After years as an assassin for the Order of Nine—an ancient order dating back almost 3,000 years—Velveteen has turned her back on the very organization that saved her. Tasked with the murder of otherwise innocent hacker Jasper Dean, she sets off to save his life and discover the terrible secret that marked him for death. With the entire Order after them, Velveteen and Jasper must escape their grasp and prevent them from toppling society as we know it. Revolution 9 is the first thrilling title in Underworld, an all-new universe created by Mark London (Hunt. Kill. Repeat., Battlecats, Knights of the Golden Sun). Each miniseries set within can be savored as a standalone serial, while serving as a stepping stone towards ENDLESS NIGHT, the must-read crossover guaranteed to blow your mind in 2025!
