Earlier this year Titan Comics proudly announced reMIND: The Complete Saga, the acclaimed sci-fi fantasy graphic novel by award-winning creator and former DreamWorks Animation artist Jason Brubaker arriving October 13, 2026, in a deluxe hardcover collecting the complete reMIND saga in a single volume, featuring brand-new cover art and exclusive behind-the-scenes material.
Originally launched as a webcomic in 2009, reMIND quickly built an audience of over a million readers thanks to its richly detailed artwork, cinematic storytelling, and emotionally engaging characters. The series blends imaginative worldbuilding with themes of friendship, loyalty, and identity; it was eventually self-published in 2011, making reMIND: The Complete Saga a 15th-anniversary edition.
The project has previously earned significant recognition, including the Xeric Award in 2010, a place on the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA) Great Graphic Novels for Teens list in 2012, and an Eisner Award nomination in 2020 for Macroverse’s TapStory digital adaptation
The story follows Sonja, a lighthouse keeper and inventor living on a remote island with her cat, Victuals. When Victuals mysteriously disappears and later returns carrying the brain of an intelligent lizard-creature from a hidden underwater kingdom, Sonja is drawn into a dangerous world of ancient civilisations, scientific experiments, and buried secrets beneath the sea.
Today, Titan is dropping the reMIND: The Complete Saga exclusively on Comic Watch for the 15th-anniversary edition being released this October, featuring brand-new cover art and exclusive bonus material.
reMIND was written and drawn by Jason Brubaker, who is known for his work as a Visual Development Artist at DreamWorks Animation on projects like Kung Fu Panda 2, Kung Fu Panda 3, The Croods, and Captain Underpants.

reMIND: The Complete Saga
Sonja is a lighthouse keeper, a gifted mechanic, and an inventor. She lives a quiet life on a remote island with her cat, Victuals. When Victuals vanishes without explanation and then unexpectedly returns, something has changed. The cat now carries the brain of a strange, intelligent lizard-creature from a hidden underwater kingdom.
What follows is a mystery that spirals from the intimate – a girl trying to understand what happened to her companion – into something far larger: a conflict involving brain transplantation experiments, an ancient civilization of lizard-men living beneath the sea, and the dangerous ambitions of those who wield unchecked power. Sonja must navigate a world she didn’t know existed, protect the people she loves, and confront questions about faith, loyalty
