DEVIL’S DUE PUBLISHING
CIRCUITS SEDUCTION REVENGE #1
From the publisher –
An all-new quarterly ongoing series! In 2050 A.D., Earth has survived the AI singularity and settled into a strange new equilibrium: futuristic metropolises under mandatory logdowns, cities reserved for sentient survivors of a deactivated AI consciousness, and breakaway communities living like it’s still 1985. This new cyberpunk saga merges the worlds of the previous Circuits: Seduction-Revenge one-shot and The Encoded, as a mysterious rogue pleasure android wreaks havoc on the trillionaire class, forcing them to turn to an equally dangerous artificial life-form to stop her.
A new comic series that originally funded on Kickstarter, merging their worlds of the previous Circuits: Seduction-Revenge one-shot and The Encoded series.

TITAN
BLADE RUNNER: TOKYO NEXUS – DIE WITH HONOR #1
From the publisher –
Alura shows the Kalanthia traitor, who is head of the Cheshire bootleg Replicant program, photos of Stix and Mead, realising they are still alive, he panics and demands she kill them. Alura refuses until Uldren makes good on his promise of delivering bootleg Replicants as promised. Later, she summons Stix and introduces him to the ‘Borealis Team’ — a three-Cheshire Replicant team who are all clones of the original Aurora Team who served with Stix on Kalanthia. He is ordered to lead them on a mission to hunt down and kill Madame Nomura.
Meanwhile, Mead, still believing that Stix is the killer of Sayo — Nomura’s daughter, steals his Cheshire ID card and breaks into Cheshire HQ in search of evidence and witnesses the brutal mass assassination of the Yakuza sub-bosses by a second Cheshire Replicant kill team led by Lerna, who is linked to Alura via one of the two surviving Aurora Yokes.
Titan Comics’ series of Blade Runner comics has been keeping the franchise alive since their first series, Blade Runner 2019, was published in, yes, 2019.

The new Blade Runner series, Blade Runner 2099, premieres on Amazon Prime Video on November 25, 2026.
INDEPENDENT
THE PATROLMAN BOOK ONE
From the publisher –
In a London fallen to gang control, sealed off from the rest of the world, retired super criminal Theo Deviant is bored.
Corrupt corporations run the city, trading with the rest of the world, offending his anarchist instincts.
Theo realises the only person able to restore London and bring down the Lord Mayor, the enigmatic figure controlling the gangs, is the Patrolman.
But the vigilante nemesis is dead, killed by Theo’s own hand.
So it’s now up to him to train a new Patrolman and take the city back…
Having funded on Kickstarter, but still open for late pledges, The Patrolman was created as part of the 20th anniversary celebrations of Time Bomb Comics. The story is set in an alternate London ruled by a corrupt Lord Mayor, and the corporations under his influence. After his greatest nemesis, The Patrolman, is killed, a replacement is handpicked to be trained, in order to carry on the ongoing fight. The issue will contain 52 full colour pages, and you can see the available reward tiers on the Kickstarter page – https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/timebomb/the-patrolman-book-one
AVALON #1
From the publisher –
Set in the year 3164, AVALON takes place in a megacity-state built from what was once the United States and all of Europe, a vertical sprawl of neon, rain, and body modification. Humanity has entered a transhumanist age run by consumerism, and the key to immortality lies in cloning Consciousness.
Nico is a Runner, a mercenary who moves small, precious cargo through Avalon’s underworld without asking questions. Her partner Epsy, a brilliant hacker, guides her through the city’s alleys and bridges from the chair. When a routine run descends into chaos, the pair uncover secrets that could change the trajectory of humanity and put them in the sights of Hale Atlan, the CEO of the centuries-old Atlan Industries and a woman who will stop at nothing for immortality.
Already fully funded on Kickstarter, but with one day left of the campaign, Avalon is a vast, vertical megacity-state, and is a combination of the former United States and Europe. POV character Epsy, a pragmatic altruist, is a hacker, and is effectively the support agent for her girlfriend, loudmouth Nico. Nico is a runner, specialising in transporting illicit packages through the vast megacity, whilst avoiding the attention of the large corporations that rule Avalon. You can get on board on the Kickstarter page –

THE FOUR ORPHANS #2
In the year 3000 AD, a sinister global organization known as The Bureau rules the world. Their ultimate weapon wasn’t a bomb—it was an absolute erasure. Using advanced technology, The Bureau successfully wiped the entire existence, historical triumphs, and global contributions of the Arab and Islamic civilizations from human memory.
Today, the world has no memory of the grand legacy that shaped the course of human history. The Bureau has replaced reality with a false narrative that minimizes the significance of an entire people on the world stage.
But deep in the shadows, four orphans—Qusai, Idris, Chaima, and Zahra—have discovered the truth.
Equipped with rogue tech and burning determination, they wage a secret war to uncover these secrets and expose them to the world. With every piece of history they reclaim, the population awakens. Memory is power. And they are determined to build a brand new future.
The continuation of a cyberpunk superhero comic rooted in identity, lost history, and futuristic rebellion, The Four Orphans #2 is currently funding on Kickstarter with a number of different reward tiers including physical and digital versions, as well as bundles including issue #1. Issue #1 is also available on YouTube as a 1-hour English-subtitled Motion Comic adaptation here – https://youtu.be/ijWyPwmDf10?si=2x29cYZ_0uVGp4cW
