What will 2025 bring? Lots of surprises! But in the comics world, creators are already brewing new projects. Yes, some are just teases, but we managed to get details on a few of them (thanks, Amazon). So let’s get excited about new releases from some of our favorite creators.

• Ram V made an announcement today! We will update once it is officially released.
• Alex Segura In his newsletter a new project for 2025 is pointed out:
What exactly are the “Forgotten Five”?
Can’t say too much, but “watch this space” Sarah Century, Pat KennedyI’m cooking – I know it’s vague! But I do think it’s time to share a joke about a project I’m going to be talking about a lot of here. So if you dig something like Chris ClaremontThe X-Men and Jaime HernandezThe Locas story…this might be just what you’re looking for. More to come soon.
X-Men + Lorax is a delicious recipe…and we’re already invested in it.
• Ngozi Ukazu (please check it out) There’s a new graphic novel out this year…the cover will be revealed next week:
I’m excited to talk about my latest graphic novel, which will be published in September 2025. ✨

Well, we can reveal more: it’s called FLIP, and it’s about body switching, a classic theme in comics done the Ngozi way:
Senior year bucket list? Swap bodies with your crush.
Kiki Ayk has a big problem: She’s been obsessed with rich white boys, and they don’t even know she exists. Enter Flip Henderson, the most popular boy in school who receives a proposal from Kiki’s personal video of her prom appearance.
But when Flip rejects Chi-Chi in front of the class, what happens next is completely unexpected: Chi-Chi, a shy nerd and scholarship student, switches bodies with Flip. Suddenly, Chi-Chi is 6’1″ and cool, and Flip gets a crash course in Chi-Chi’s life, which is K-pop, braids, and being poor at a rich, white private school of colored children.
As graduation approaches and their body-swapping continues for longer and longer, Qiqi and Xiaofei must form the most unlikely friendship their school has ever seen. But can they survive their senior year? And most importantly, can they find a way back to themselves?
The best-selling book Check It Out! Here comes Flip, a thrilling fantasy story about self-acceptance, black girlhood, and how walking a mile in someone else’s shoes teaches you how to finally see yourself.
Looking forward to that cover!
• Lee Lai (StoneFruit) has a new book titled “Cannon” published by D&Q in September 25, and announced the preview on Instagram:
Amazon broke the news again:
We arrived in ruins – a restaurant was reduced to rubble, tables and chairs overturned. Covered in the swampy night of Montreal’s heatwave, here we meet the protagonist, Cannon, dripping with sweat of remorse. She was supposed to keep the restaurant closed for the night, but she ruined it instead. The chaos feels a bit like a horror scene—not unlike the horror movies Cannon would watch with her best friend Trish. Cooking and delving into the regular weekly screenings of Aussie horror movies have become the glue of their rote relationship. In high school, they were each other’s lifelines—two queer second-generation Chinese nerds trapped in suburbia. Now, in the uncool side of their twenties, each other’s true nature feels even more uncertain.
However, when our stoic, well-behaved Cannon finds himself—very unusually– Trish, surrounded by broken plates, appears and pulls her out of hell.
exist cannonLilley’s highly anticipated sequel to the critically acclaimed and award-winning stone fruit, The full scope of Nervous Breakdown is only a small part of what Lai has to offer. As Cannon’s shoulders buckle under the weight of an aging deferential and avoidant mother, Lai’s sharp sense of humor and sensitive eye create a story that will surprise readers.
Lai has been talking about a follow-up to Stone Fruit for a long time, but it should be worth the wait.
• Robbie Morrison and Charlie Adlard There is a new book called pagan come out:
1/2: New year, new graphic novel: a historical thriller with supernatural overtones written by me and drawn by Charlie (The Walking Dead) Adlard, described as “Sherlock Holmes meets The Name of the Rose”. It’s out now. Cover and pages 1-3 below:

The book comes from Image, which was announced not long ago:
Belgium, 1529: The city of Antwerp is ravaged by a series of gruesome killings. Knight, physician, lawyer and renowned occultist Cornelius Agrippa and his young pupil John Vere are forced to submit themselves to the investigation of the Almighty Inquisition, and are drawn into a whirlpool of murder, madness and magic.
Agrippa was a contradictory and controversial 16th-century Renaissance polymath, a soldier, and a scholar whose books on occult philosophy were widely influential and added impetus to the study of magic. He was the first man to successfully defend a woman accused of witchcraft, was condemned as a heretic by the Inquisition, and was an influence on Mary Shelley’s classic novel Victor Frankenstein. “Heresy” weaves this real-life character into a tapestry of thrilling intrigue, creating a heart-pounding historical fiction story for fans of Elisabeth Kostova historian and Alienists.
All right! architecture.
• every time Mark Miller A newsletter was published announcing a series of new projects. In his latest work, he made a number of promises, including Valerio Giangiodano (Nemesis) It’s “I’m coming out with a huge epic at the end of the summer” and it’s about John Romita Jr.. That’s right, the Kick Ass team is working on something new:
In the meantime, keep an eye out for a new book John Romita Jr. and I are working on, which will be released early in the summer. This will be a huge and highly controversial event. No one would have seen this coming, but we discovered there was a huge gap in the market that we planned to fill.
Miller has also been promoting The Narwhal (a.k.a. Per Berg):
You have to admit, no one can come up with advanced concepts as freely and fluidly as Mark Millar.
