ARCADIA #1

In a future where humanity has vanished, a new form of life rises from the ruins: the Serants, artificial beings born from mysterious technological chrysalises known as Superdragons. Each one carries a Pearl, a biotechnological core that holds their consciousness, their memories…their soul.Halu is a Serant born late, emerging from a forgotten silo. He is rescued from destruction by Weedy, an eccentric scavenger obsessed with the remnants of the past and the search for meaning in their own existence. Soon after, Halu meets Fix, a practical, strong, and luminous young mechanic who awakens something deep within him. Together, in a world of ruins and dangers, they search for meaning, connection, and a reason to endure.Arcadia is a work of existential science fiction--profoundly human, where memory and love endure as a precious mystery that refuses to fade. A story that explores what makes us human…when humanity is no longer there to tell us the answer.A brand-new sci-fi epic courtesy of The Miranda Bros., the acclaimed creators of We Live and Blade Forger. Arcadia will have a rotating cast of cover artists for B variants. For this inaugural issue, the team is joined by the wildly inventive artist of Midnighter and Nick Fury, ACO! The Miranda Brothers, Roy and Inaki, are the writers and creators of Blade Forger and the acclaimed We Live, nominated for an Eisner Award for Best Limited Series. Together, they’ve built a reputation for crafting emotionally resonant, visually ambitious, and narratively bold stories that blend intimate character work with expansive worldbuilding. Inaki Miranda is an artist and writer with a distinguished career in the American comics industry. He has illustrated celebrated titles for DC Comics, including Action Comics, Catwoman, Harley Quinn, and Coffin Hill. His recent work on Godzilla: Here There Be Dragons earned him an Eisner nomination for Best Penciller/Inker, further establishing him as one of today’s most compelling comic book artists. A Fine Arts graduate, Inaki spent over a decade building his career as a visual storyteller before making his writing debut with We Live, where he revealed a narrative voice unafraid to challenge conventions and explore deeply human themes. Roy Miranda is a rapper, writer, and creative director whose work is shaped by a background in music, performance, and conceptual storytelling. A founding member of the genre-blending collective Dremen and known in the Spanish hip-hop scene as Roy Mercurio (L.E. Flaco), he explored narrative through lyrics, rhythm, and stagecraft. Over the years, he has designed and directed live shows and immersive experiences that combine structure, emotion, and audience connection. That same instinct now informs his writing—bringing a strong sense of pacing, tone, and narrative depth to the worlds he helps build on the page.
