Author and creator C.E. Massari (THE SIX SWORDS, KAYFABE VOL. 3) is proud to announce the release of his graphic novel THE MAFIA VS. THE KLAN.

The project will launch on Kickstarter in September 2026 as a premier title in Source Point Press’ relaunch, before a worldwide release via Source Point’s distrubution.

Inspired by real-life events experienced by Massari’s own grandfather, the 120-page original graphic novel (OGN) is described as “John Wick meets The Godfather.” It tells a gritty, high-stakes story of justice and vengeance that resonates with historical weight and cinematic intensity.

C.E. chats with the Comic Watchers about the book and his career after a short recap of the news of the upcoming X-Men movie casting
