Magdalene Visaggio and Michael Avon Oeming team up for a Mind Bending Silver Age sci-fi adventure with Space Pirates!
A high-flying retrofuturistic world, baffling technology, and a social order controlled by the Intelligence. The truth cannot be ignored, but must be reckoned with…
Mad Cave Studios is over the moon to announce the newest Teen+ sci-fi series, GALAXY OF MADNESS! Written by one of today’s most Influential comic book writers, Magdalene Visaggio (Kim & Kim), art by celebrated creator Michael Avon Oeming (Powers, Murder Inc) with colors by HUGO award nominated Taki Soma, and lettering by Morgan Martinez, Galaxy of Madness promises to take readers on an unforgettable journey through the depths of space and the complexities of the human psyche.
In the far-flung thrilling future of the 41st Century, and on the other side of the galaxy, a swashbuckling space archaeologist, Vigil Virgo, is on the cusp of learning a universe-shattering secret in this four-color fantasy! But she’ll have to dive into the abyss, where no human was ever meant to go, to do it. The question is what happens when she emerges from the other side
“What an incredible, insane book this has been to work on,” said Magdalene Visaggio. “Mike and Taki poured their heart and soul into this wild ride and it comes through on every page as they bring to life the complicated, convoluted, and deeply-felt world of Galaxy of Madness. It’s a tall order for a book – ten issues done in a deliberately outdated style of psychedelic fever dreams and textured, contradictory relationships, and I’m so happy that Mad Cave was willing to take a chance on the most ambitious comic series I’ve ever penned.”
“Mags sold me on this world through her layered and complicated character relationships,” said Michael Avon Oeming. “Bringing them and this wild space adventure to life has brought out some of the best work Taki Soma and I have ever done. Flash Gordon was always a big influence on me and I think I was able to bring that out with a fresh take on Silver Age adventure. Space Pirates, betrayal, psychedelic archeology, this book has everything, so come and join us!”
“Galaxy of Madness is special,” said Taki Soma. “I love that as creators, Mags, Michael and myself needed to find an outlet during the early days of the pandemic and this is the result of our collective passion. When you read it, I hope you can feel the fun and excitement that we put in along with all the hard work Mad Cave put into this title!”
Galaxy of Madness #1 drops in shops June 19th, with the storyline spanning five issues and continuing into 2025. Fans can expect a captivating blend of action, mystery, and existentialist drama, as Vigil Virgo navigates the depths of space in search of truth and redemption. Cover A by Michael Avon Oeming by Cover B by Paulina Ganucheau. Letters by Morgan Martinez.
