• Today we have Ram V announcement! We will update once it is officially decided.
• Alex Segura mentioned new projects for 2025 in his newsletter.
What exactly are “The Forgotten Five”?
I can’t say too much, but “watch this space” for what Sarah Century, Pat Kennedy and I have in store. It’s vague, but I get it. But I thought it was time to share a tease of a project that I’m going to talk about a lot here. So if you like things like Chris Claremont’s X-Men or Jaime Hernandez’s Locus stories, this might be for you. There will be many more soon.
X-Men + Locas is a delicious recipe…we’re invested.

Now, you can spill some more trivia on this one. It’s called FLIP and it’s about body switching, a classic theme in manga done the Ngozi way.
4th graders’ bucket list? Swap bodies with your favorite person.
There is one big problem with Chichi Eke. It’s about having an unrequited crush on a rich white boy who doesn’t even know she exists. Flip Henderson, the most popular boy in school, appears and receives an offer to go to the senior prom on Chi-Chi’s private video.
But what happens next is completely unexpected when Flip rejects Chi-Chi in front of the entire class. Chi-Chi, a shy nerd and scholarship student, ends up switching bodies with Flip. Suddenly, Chi-Chi is 6’1” tall and cool. Meanwhile, Flip gets a crash course on Chi-Chi’s life. That means K-pop, braiding hair, and being a poor kid of color at a wealthy white private school.
As graduation approaches and the body swaps take longer and longer, Chi-Chi and Flip must forge a friendship unlike anything their school has ever seen. But will they survive to senior year? And most importantly, will they be able to find their way back to themselves?
Best-selling author of Check, Please! A thrilling and fantastical story about self-acceptance, black girlhood, and how walking a mile in someone else’s shoes can finally teach you how to see yourself. , Flip appears.
I’m looking forward to the cover too!
• Lee Lai (StoneFruit) has a new book published by D&Q called Cannon in September 2019 and announced it on Instagram with a preview.
Amazon has the scoop again.
We reached the wreckage. The restaurant was reduced to rubble, with tables and chairs violently overturned. Covered by night in the swamps of Montreal’s heat wave, here we meet our protagonist Cannon, dripping with tiny beads of sweat like regret. She was supposed to close the restaurant that night, but instead, well, she destroyed it. This chaos feels like a bit of a horror landscape. It’s not unlike the horror movies that Cannon and her best friend Trish watch together. Cooking dinner and digging deep into their weekly schedule of Australian horror movies are the glue of their rote relationship. In high school, they were each other’s lifeline – two strange second-generation Chinese geeks trapped in the suburbs. Now, on the uncool side of our 20s, we’re finding it harder to identify our true nature in each other.
But when our stoic, unbendingly well-behaved Cannon finds herself surrounded by, very unusually, broken dishes, it’s Trish who shows up to pull her out of there. .
In Lee Lai’s long-awaited sequel to the critically acclaimed and award-winning Stone Fruit, Cannon, the full palette of nervous breakdowns is just a small part of Lai’s work. While Cannon’s shoulders bend under the weight of an aging and avoidable mother, Lai’s sharp sense of humor and delicate eye create a story that shocks readers.
Lai has been talking about a sequel to Stone Fruit for a long time, and it should be worth the wait.
• Robbie Morrison and Charlie Adlard are publishing a new book called The Heretic.

This book, published by Image, was announced a while ago.
Belgium, 1529: The city of Antwerp is destroyed by a series of creepy murders. Forced to investigate by the all-powerful Inquisition, knight, doctor, lawyer, and renowned occultist Cornelius Agrippa and his young apprentice Johann Weyer are drawn into a maelstrom of murder, madness, and magic.
Agrippa was a contradictory and controversial 16th-century Renaissance polymath, military man, and scholar whose writings on occult philosophy were widely influential and gave impetus to the study of magic. He was the first man to successfully defend a woman accused of witchcraft and was condemned as a heretic by the Inquisition, but he also appears as an inspiration for Victor Frankenstein in Mary Shelley’s classic novel. do. Heretic weaves this real-life character into a tapestry of thriller intrigue, creating a pulse-pounding historical novel perfect for fans of Elisabeth Kostova’s The Historian and Alien.
Nice ice cream! architecture.
• Mark Millar announces a number of new projects with each newsletter. The latest film promises several things, including a “big release at the end of the summer” with Valerio Giangiordano (Nemesis) and a reunion with John Romita Jr. Yes, the Kick-Ass team is on to something. new:
In the meantime, keep an eye out for a new book that John Romita Jr. and I are currently writing. It is expected to arrive a little early in the summer. This is going to be huge and hugely controversial. No one would have expected this to happen, but we realized there was a huge gap in the market that we were trying to fill.
Miller also plugs “Narwhal” (aka Per Berg) into a vampire book to be published by Dark Horse.
Indeed, no one comes up with advanced concepts as freely and fluidly as Mark Millar.
