Lancer (2026)

New York Times best-selling writer Mike Costa and superstar-in-the-making Jake Baker unleash a ferocious blood-frenzy in the next must-read chapter of their brutal action horror blockbuster. Pete Sanborn is fresh out of the Marine Corps, out of cash, and running out of ammo. Stuck relying on deadly extermination gigwork through the LANCER app to make ends meet, the only place Sanborn is headed is straight into an early grave. But an old military buddy may have offered him a way out of the rat race, recruiting him into an elite kill crew with bigger guns, better pay, and a new assignment waiting beneath New York City: Descend into the sewers. Kill the horde of mutant alligators. Try to make it out alive.

Critically-acclaimed screenwriter and master storyteller Mike Costa (LUCIFER) joins forces with rising superstar artist Jake Baker and Eisner Award-winning colorist Lee Loughridge (SOMNA) for a pulse-pounding, new sci-fi action-horror blockbuster. Pete Sanborn is a broke former Marine picking up extermination gigs through LANCER – a freelance app connecting veterans with military-grade kill work. Wild hogs. Invasive predators. Things too big, too dangerous for the average person to deal with. Until a routine Texas hog mitigation job goes catastrophically wrong, leaving Sanborn the lone survivor of a grisly massacre. Now Sanborn’s been recruited into an elite crew with bigger guns, better pay, and a new assignment waiting beneath New York City: Descend into the sewers. Kill the horde of mutant alligators. Try to make it out alive.
