Coming soon: BOXED, the gripping original graphic novel from Mad Cave Studios that blends sci-fi paranoia, psychological tension, and a romance you can’t trust.
From Mark Sable (Graveyard of Empires, Unthinkable) and Jeremy Haun (The Beauty, The Approach), with colors by Nick Filardi (Rogue Planet) and letters by Thomas Mauer (Popgun), Boxed is a cautionary tale about consent, control, and the human cost of artificial love.
Since the first superintelligent A.I. went rogue and massacred the world’s top computer scientists, it has been government agent Frank Savage’s job to contain—or “box”—sentient artificial intelligence before they can become a threat to humanity.
When Hippocrates, the Center for Disease Control’s A.I., exceeds its programming and locks down hundreds of thousands of people, Frank is forced to turn to Pandora— an A.I. he onced boxed—to contain it. The problem? Pandora is a “honeypot” A.I. designed to seduce and destroy its targets… and Frank’s ex-girlfriend. With the fate of humanity on the line, can Frank trust Pandora, or will their shared past threaten the entire mission?
A morally tangled, darkly romantic story that dares to ask: if you can’t trust love, and you can’t trust tech—what’s left?
Boxed is a grounded Blade Runner-meets-Silence of the Lambs sci-fi thriller. Brought to you in print for the first time by Mad Cave Studios, with brand-new bonus content! Originally released digitally by Comixology Originals, the trade hits shelves on September 9, 2025.
