This fall, a forgotten cybernetic hero awakens to face a world that has left him behind…
An intriguing new manga from Nakama Press with some interesting elements in it. I will be checking out Casshan Vol. 1.
He was forgotten for fifty years. Now he’s the only one who can save them.
Mad Cave Studios’ imprint Nakama Press, in partnership with Tatsunoko Production, presents CASSHAN VOL. 1 from Detroit-born manga creator, game producer, and writer Mario B. Long (God Tier) and award-winning, Tokyo-based mangaka Kusanagi. Featuring the legendary Tatsunoko hero Casshan, this bold new manga inspired by the classic anime blends timeless science fiction with modern storytelling to explore identity, memory, and what it means to remain human in a world designed to forget you.
A forgotten cybernetic hero awakens with no memories and is thrust into a brutal conflict between humans, robots, and a rising new species—forcing him to confront the truth of his own creation as he fights to save two kidnapped children trapped deep below a dying wasteland.
When two girls vanish into a deadly mine run by rogue machines, a dying old man awakens Casshan—a lost cybernetic hero with no memory and a human heart buried inside metal. But underground lies more than hostages: a hidden robot refuge, a radical new species, and the truth about Casshan’s own creation. Caught between humans, robots, and a new species called Neoroiders, Casshan must confront the past he’s forgotten before the world destroys itself again!
Mario B. Long brings decades of experience living and working in Japan, while artist Kusanagi’s expressive, cinematic artwork grounds the series in both emotional intimacy and large-scale sci-fi spectacle.
"Casshan, the animated series from 1973, was decades ahead of its time,” said Mario B. Long. “Dealing with artificial intelligence and robots in a way that few series have done before or since. Its heroes were tragic in that they often paid the ultimate price for their altruism, while its robotic villains could sometimes show moments of introspection and human-like qualities. This new manga series builds upon the legacy of Casshan while also welcoming a new generation of readers who have never watched the original animated series before. The concepts covered in are more relevant today than ever as we stand on the precipice of A.I. and robots being fully integrated into the workforce and our own personal lives. If the future has already started, then what comes next? Join Casshan on his journey to understand what it truly means to be human and his place in a future world where the remnants of humanity and robots both desperately fight to survive.”
At 180 pages, Casshan Vol. 1 reflects a deeply cross-cultural approach to storytelling, offering an accessible entry point for new manga readers while delivering layered worldbuilding and character-driven stakes for longtime fans of classic and contemporary sci-fi alike.
Casshan Vol. 1 hits shelves September 15, 2026, in paperback (ISBN: 9781545832448 | $10.99), which can be ordered from your favorite comic shop, bookstore, or from Nakama Press.
From Golem Press, Hunters of Sheydim by Jeff Marvin
Out this week from Golem Press is a new adventure in Hunters of Sheydim.
A centuries-old war between humans and demons erupts into the open this week as HUNTERS OF SHEYDIM arrives from Golem Press this Wednesday.Written by Jeff Marvin (Cycles End, Grave Soldiers: Crutch Brigade) with art by Riley Brown (Dead Acre: Black Badge), colors by Vinicius Townsend (G.I. Joe, Vampirella), and letters by Dezi Sienty (Teen Titans, Deathshroud) and Sinisa Matic (Deathshroud), the series blends apocalyptic horror with Jewish mysticism, history, and folklore. Editorial direction comes from Ori Ayalon, with historical consultation by Rabbinit Dr. Tamar Marvin.
Twin sisters Caterina and Lucia de la Vega—raised in Spain, reclaimed by their Jewish heritage—are recruited by Rabbi Eli Eidelman into an underground sect waging a war of containment. In this fight, Gehinnom isn’t a metaphor but a living hellscape where demons are born—and if they break through, Shamayim’s angels won’t just smite them, they’ll burn everything in their path. When the fragile alliance holding the line begins to crumble, the sisters are hurled into a battle spanning modern-day Israel, ancient Babylon, the ruins of Barcelona, and the depths of Gehinnom itself. Alongside rogue angels, broken prophets, and haunted warriors, they’ll face infernal bloodlines, ancestral secrets, and the question of who gets to write the end of the world.
Drawing from the genre grit of Blade and Constantine and the emotional core of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Hunters of Sheydim brings a fresh perspective to supernatural horror through Jewish mysticism and Sephardic history. In this world, Dybbuks whisper through modern technology, Iron Golems clash with ancient demons, and centuries-old prophecies carry real consequences.
Hunters of Sheydim launches from Golem Press on March 18, 2026, and is available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and more, or you can order directly from the publisher.

Saturday Morning chaos, elemental apes, and one kid who won’t quit.
Classic-style adventures in this new graphic novel from Papercutz - check out a preview of Nothing Can Stop… The Ape!
Saving Mom means making a dangerous deal with elemental apes!
Papercutz, the kids' comics imprint of Mad Cave Studios, proudly announces NOTHING CAN STOP… THE APE!, a 120-page, middle-grade graphic novel that channels the wild imagination and unstoppable momentum of classic Saturday morning cartoons, written by Tom Sniegoski (The Fallen Series) and Jeannine Acheson (The Complete Alice in Wonderland), with artwork by Craig Rousseau (Young Hellboy).
This mini-series tells the story of Maxwell Morgan, a twelve-year-old boy who will go to any lengths to save his mom (who has been possessed by the spirit of Thuuna, an angry primordial goddess), even going as far as freeing the goddess's immortal enemy from his magical prison. With his faithful French bulldog and four primitive cave people gifted with the powers of the elements, Maxwell must convince the newly-released gorilla god of chaos, ghraagg'endah, to help them save the world from Thuuna's genocidal intentions and free his mother from the goddess's clutches.
Paying homage to the Hanna-Barbera animated shows of the late sixties, Nothing Can Stop. . . The Ape! is a story for all ages. So pour yourself a bowl of cereal, and strap yourself in for a non-stop, pulse-pounding thrill ride of epic proportions because nothing can stop . . . The Ape!
Tom Sniegoski admitted this thrilling adventure was a long time coming: “Nothing Can Stop… The Ape! has been stomping around inside my noggin for quite some time—probably at least twenty-five years—but I could never find the proper tone; it was just too dark. It took me teaming up with the amazing Jeannine S. Acheson to finally find what I’d been searching for the whole time. Together we figured out what the concept needed, and along with Craig Rousseau, we found the missing ingredient—FUN!”
“Working on this book has been a dream come true!” added Co-Writer, Jeannine Acheson, “When Tom asked me to work on this concept that he’d had for such a long time, I couldn’t resist. Gods, archaeology, French bulldogs, giant apes? What’s not to love? Craig Rousseau’s artwork brought all of our crazy ideas to vivid life, and I’m so excited for readers to meet Maxwell, Harvey, and the rest of the gang!”
“Nothing Can Stop… THE APE! was an absolute blast to draw,” said Craig Rousseau. “What more could an artist ask for!? It's got prehistoric elemental superheroes, ancient gods, monsters, and a boy and his dog! Working with Tom is always an adventure, and having Jeannine on board only makes it better. Buckle up, readers, you’re in for some Saturday-morning fun!”
Perfect for readers ages 7-12, and for those who love big, classic cartoon energy, parent-child adventure stories, and all-ages graphic novels with heart, humor, and nonstop momentum. A natural fit for fans of Jonny Quest, The Herculoids, and Teen Titans Go!.
Nothing Can Stop… The Ape! goes on sale June 9, 2026, in paperback (ISBN: 9781545826683 | $12.99) and hardcover (ISBN: 9781545826690 | $17.99) formats, and will be available wherever books and comics are sold, or preorder today from Papercutz.com.
