Evil Awakens in Broadacres—Shane Connery Volk's Prairie Gods Returns in Trade
Western horror with the supernatural in the collected edition of Prairie Dogs, coming in May 2025 from Mad Cave Studios.
From Mad Cave Studios comes the collected edition of PRAIRIE GODS, the supernatural horror anthology written and illustrated by Shane Connery Volk (Nottingham) with letters by Becca Carey.
For the first time, readers can experience all five eerie tales set in the haunted prairie town of Broadacres—where cursed speedways, revenants, aliens, and demons lurk just beneath the surface.
The Twilight Zone meets Sin City with a B-movie flair, each story introduces new characters caught in bizarre, otherworldly events. Strange doesn’t begin to cover it—this town is cursed!
Prairie Gods features five self-contained stories of supernatural events simmering in the small prairie town of Broadacres: a champion race car driver challenges the Devil himself; a seemingly immortal sheriff hunts for a dangerous criminal; a soldier encounters a visitor from out of this world; a tour guide and treasure hunter pursue a myth deep into an abandoned mine; and a downed test pilot must escape a very large, very hungry wolf. Small town life just got a little stranger.
Unleash the supernatural and bask in the horror. Prairie Gods hits shelves May 15, 2025.

In Exit City, the Line Between Good and Evil Blurs
Another collection from Mad Cave Studios. This time with crime, corruption and secrets in Exit City.
The tense sci-fi crime saga EXIT CITY from Mad Cave Studios arrives in a full trade paperback edition this spring, collecting the complete series by writer Mark London (Wolvenheart) and artists Karl Mostert (Batman: Urban Legends) and Ramon Villalobos (Original Sins).
Known for its moody visuals and propulsive pacing, Exit City blends noir grit with a dystopian edge. David Baron’s (Batman: Detective Comics) bold colors and Dave Sharpe’s (Green Lantern) lettering bring the narrative to life, while Raymund Bermudez (Justice League) and Sebastian Chang (Star Wars: The High Republic) deliver a striking cover that sets the tone for this layered and dangerous world.
In Exit City, there's a thin line between good and evil, and Detectives McCormick and Miller are about to find out the hard way. When they come to the scene of a brutal accident, it becomes clear that the Major Crimes division was called in for a reason. With minimal evidence, McCormick and Miller must work together through a web of seedy criminals, genetic experiments, and a crooked government. But that's not the only thing standing in their way; McCormick is hiding a secret that would make anyone question his capabilities.
A must-read for fans of Blade Runner, Minority Report, and Gotham Central, Exit City pulls no punches as it explores the cost of justice in a world where truth is just another weapon.
Exit City is the third thrilling title in Mark London's Underworld series, which also includes Revolution 9, Hour of the Wolf, and the forthcoming Endless Night.
The trade paperback drops in shops May 14, 2025, and is now available for preorder.
