Heavy Metal Magazine HC (2026)

One full turn of the sun since Heavy Metal returned in full stride with renewed force, the magazine moves forward as Gladiatrix by Dan Gordon and John Stanisci and Ink by Charley Parlapánides, Vlas Parlapánides, and Marco Failla continue to unfold, and Cold Dead War by Craig Wilson closes a chapter. Dark Horizons by Philippe Pelaez and Benjamin Blasco-Martinez begins its run, a post-apocalyptic science fiction series set on Kepler-452 b, where a forbidden zone has claimed every expedition sent beyond it. Thellus by Simona Mogavino and Carlos Gómez makes its debut as a new science fiction saga, introducing a myth-infused world ruled by absolute power and laying the groundwork for a broader story of domination and resistance. Also featured are Blue Angel, a near-future military science fiction story by Philippe Gauckler, The Callistan Menace, a classic science fiction adaptation adapted by Fernando Fernández, and Turing Test for Humans by Fernando Dagnino. Beyond these highlights, the issue includes a varied range of additional features that reinforce Heavy Metal’s bold editorial mix.

As autumn settles in and Halloween approaches, Heavy Metal Magazine #3 delivers another unforgettable collection of visionary comics from some of the world's most celebrated creators. Enki Bilal returns with a new chapter of his acclaimed BUG saga, while PRIMEVAL by Tim Vigil and David Quinn plunges into a savage world where primal forces reign. TAARNA continues its epic journey from Leah Moore, John Reppion, and Anna Morozova, joined by new chapters of MILLSTONE, INK, GLADIATRIX, Sixella, Valentina, Cold Dead War: The Aftermath, and Caveman. This issue also features an all-new story by Jonathan Wayshak, Deconstructing Manga by Shintaro Kago, Spice of Life by Fernando Dagnino, Heresy by Katie Houghton-Ward, The Candidate by Alfonso Font, and a selection of haunting horror stories perfectly suited for the Halloween season. Bold, provocative, and unlike anything else in comics, Heavy Metal Magazine #3 brings together the world's most visionary creators for another essential issue.
