Imagine a colorful dystopian world where everyday appliances are traded as magical currency and a time-traveling knight becomes the hero to save the world! This is IONHEART, the english-language debut from German creator Lukas Kummer from award-winning independent publisher of graphic novels Top Shelf Productions (IDW Publishing). This ambitious, atom-smashing book combines trace elements of everything from Tintin to Blade Runner to Adventure Time to The Dark Tower into a deadly breakthrough: intricate, explosive, and entirely new – IONHEART is set to release August 19, 2025.
“I always enjoyed stupid smart things… Or smart stupid things. To me, that’s the pinnacle of art,” says creator Lukas Kummer.
Pursued by a terrifying demon, a young knight flees across the radioactive ruins of a fairy-tale land. His only weapon is the same cursed power that once destroyed this world—what some would call magic, and others would call technology.
As his relentless enemy draws closer, the knight’s terrible secrets begin to unfold. How many lives has he lived? Is this the past, the present, or the future? Is he destined to bring love, or unimaginable destruction? And if he fails…will humanity get another chance?
The English-language debut of Austrian-German graphic novelist Lukas Kummer arrives like a thunderbolt, arcing brilliantly between timelines, genres, and dimensions!
Ionheart will be available wherever books are sold, as a full-color softcover graphic novel (ISBN: 9781603095587) as well as a digital edition, on August 19, 2025. For more information please visit the Top Shelf web site.

I remember stealing my older brother's copy of a Punisher comic and it was all down hill from there. I went to a Navy recruiter's office with the promise of cake. I was lied to and 20 years later here I am. I enjoy summers off with my family at our timeshare on Gallifrey.
