Yes, it looks like the sculptor girl was able to finish that Jesus head after all. It's a nice touch and nod back to the episode!

I just found out Steve Orlando is going to be here in my home town of Des Moines, Iowa for the Galaxy Con! I'm so going to get him to sign my Galactor Comic Book!

Hi all,

Here are some cover images for the fourteenth issue of the Gatchaman series from from Mad Cave. Due in November!


Gatchaman #14

Covers A (Inaki Miranda) and B (Ippei Kuri)

Here's the story tease for Gatchaman #14:
"The Science Ninja Team launches a daring assault on Galactor’s polar ice facility, racing to shut down the killer whale mechas before more I.S.O. bases fall. Meanwhile, Katse unveils the newly transformed Blackbirds and sends them off on a top-secret mission."

Writer - Sam Humphries, Artist - Chris Batista
Standard issues will be 28 pages and will cost $4.99 (retailer incentives may be priced higher).

I got to meet Steve Orlando today at the comic con. What a nice guy!
He signed my Galactor comic book and we geeked about that and the Joe comic that just came out. He was more than happy to hang out and talk with me.
He also informed me they are going to do a one shot for Nambu, and a story with Red Impulse.
Lots to look forward too.

That's great! I'm glad to hear you had a fun time talking with him and learning about some of the upcoming plans. There will be more to come, for sure! There were a few series creators at the San Diego Comic-Con this year, but I think Sanford Greene was the only one who appeared at Mad Cave's booth. I wasn't able to meet any of them in person unfortunately.

Hi all,

Here are some cover images for the fifteenth issue of the Gatchaman series from from Mad Cave. Due in December!


Gatchaman #15

Covers A (Inaki Miranda) and B (Ippei Kuri)

Here's the story tease for Gatchaman #15:
"In a twisted jungle overrun by mutant vegetation, the Science Ninja Team faces their worst betrayal yet—the Blackbirds, once their trainees, now their enemies. Arrogant and armed with the latest tech, the Blackbirds dominate early, but the Science Ninja Team fights back with something stronger: experience, loyalty, and heart. With a surprise assist from the mysterious Raven, the Blackbirds are forced to retreat—but the emotional scars of betrayal linger, even in victory."

Writer - Sam Humphries, Artist - Chris Batista
Standard issues will be 28 pages and will cost $4.99 (retailer incentives may be priced higher).

Mad Cave Studios has released information for another Gatchaman comic!

Gatchaman - Jinpei: Henshin one-shot

Covers A (Tommy Lee Edwards) and B (Alessio Zonno)

Here is the story tease for Gatchaman - Jinpei: Henshin:
"When Galactor’s new menace, Professor Toxoid, infects the God Phoenix with a bio-mech virus, Ken, Jun, Joe, and Ryu are fused to their stations and powerless to fight back. As a monstrous Mecha-Beast crushes South City Harbor, the fate of the Science Ninja Team falls to the youngest member, Jinpei. Armed with nothing but a spool of wire, raw nerve, and ninja-science ingenuity, he must reboot the Phoenix before the team–and the city–are lost forever. A pulse-pounding tech-horror one-shot with explosive battles and a blazing Firebird finale!"
This one-shot will be 32 pages and will cost $6.99

Writer - Tommy Lee Edwards, Artist - Daniel Hansen
Release date - January 2026

Anyone else pre-order Vol. 1 Deluxe Edition hardcover due out October 7th, but haven't received it yet?
By email several weeks ago I was told it was delayed. A week after that, he said he'd get back in a week, but now nothing. I emailed again yesterday, but no response yet. It's listed as currently available on their website as well as on other sites.

Didn't realize there was a hardcover. Also sometimes they either take awhile to answer, or they just put it in the mail for you.

The volume 2 deluxe hardcover is supposed to be out in March. Weirdly it seems the Mad Cave itself didn't yet get their copies of Vol. 1 deluxe HC though lots of others and them have it listed as available now.
