Co-creators Ram V, Evan Cagle and Anand Radhakrishnan (RK) have revealed a sneak peek and details about their new graphic novel series, Deicidium. The creators recently announced a groundbreaking six-figure book deal with French publisher Morgen for worldwide rights to publish the series, and a deal with Image Comics to publish it in English Language territories. Frequent co-collaborators V, Cagle, and RK are setting the stage on a global scale; the series will be published around the world simultaneously, with the goal of cultivating an international fan base. Esteemed editor Eric Harburn, who worked with V on the critically acclaimed book The Many Deaths of Laila Starr, is editing the graphic novel series. Volume 1 will hit shelves in late 2026 and there will be a preview of it available on Free Comic Book Day in May.
Deicidium will span media and mediums, combining the strengths of V, Cagle, and RK’s lauded creations to date with disparate influences across comic books, Euro bandes dessinées, and Manga/manhwa into a singular vision of gods returning to Earth… and humanity’s need to destroy them. Fans of urban fantasy, epic sci-fi, world mythology, and character-driven action dramas will find a robust blend of these in Deicidium.
Featuring gorgeous black and white interiors, Deicidium is set in a future world governed by the marriage between Theocracies and Corporations. Worship is currency, faith is power. Welcome to the industry of belief. In this new found stability, old powers once more return to the world. Gods of fire, wind, volcanoes, jaguars—gods of mischief, stories, love and war—manifesting through everyday people. With the established hierarchy threatened, the powers that be decide to find these newly made gods and kill them. A conflict of control versus freedom. Love and worship. Born of the differing ideological ideas that those who can save us live above us versus those we love and admire will come, as they once did, from within us.
Deicidium Volume 1 will be published globally in late 2026.
