Synopsis:

"A long and bloody road trip, one well worth taking." ―AIPT

Set in the same world as the films MOON and MUTE, Madi is a cerebral cyberpunk graphic novel about a team of veterans who have taken on corporate mercenary work to pay for the upkeep of technological enhancements that have turned them into human drones.

Madi Preston, a veteran of Britain’s elite J-Squad, is burnt out and up to her eyeballs in bills for her cybernetics’ upkeep. When she takes an off-the-books job that promises to eliminate her and her sister’s debt, the corporate secret she’s hired to steal is not at all what she expects… and she finds herself on the run from everyone she’s ever known. In a globe-spanning adventure from Shanghai to Soho, Madi has to stay one step ahead of the giant corporations closing in on her from all sides.

Madi is the third story in director Duncan Jones’ Mooniverse following the films Moon and Mute and features stunning art from a murderer’s row of comic greats: Pia Guerra, Simon Bisley, Annie Wu, Glenn Fabry, James Stokoe, and more!

About the Authors: Duncan Jones is a British advertising and film director, best known for his BAFTA winning film MOON, epic game-based fantasy movie WARCRAFT and his other science fiction films SOURCE CODE & MUTE. He is presently staying safely locked up at his home, waiting for it to be safe to go out and make ROGUE TROOPER of 2000AD fame with Rebellion Studios. Duncan is answerable to his wife, Rodene, his two kids, Stenton 4 and Zowie 2, and his dog, who takes her privacy very seriously after a scamming incident, and wishes to remain anonymous.

Alex de Campi writes comics. She is best known for her critically-acclaimed teen survival thriller NO MERCY and the groundbreaking, digital-native comic VALENTINE. Her latest work is the spy noir miniseries MAYDAY. She was nominated for an Eisner for her first comic work, Smoke, and it's all been downhill from there. Alex also directs music videos, and has worked with acts as diverse as Grand Duchy (Frank Black / Violet Clark), Joan As Police Woman, and Amanda Palmer to the retro-fabulous Puppini Sisters.

Alex's background is a three-whisky conversation and involves several continents. She is a single mother of an awesome daughter; they live in the Stephen Kingdom (Downeast Maine) with two dogs. She has an opinion on nearly everything. You can peruse them, along with stupid photos and memes, at @alexdecampi on most social media.

Duncan Fegredo has been drawing comics since (noncommittal grunt), his most well-known works being his collaborations with Mike Mignola on Mignola's Hellboy. Those works include Darkness Calls, The Wild Hunt, The Storm & The Fury, and The Midnight Circus, all published by Dark Horse Comics. Earlier significant works include Enigma with writer Peter Milligan (Vertigo), Jay & Silent Bob with writer/director Kevin Smith and more recently MPH with writer and iconoclast Mark Millar (Image books). A step outside comics saw Fegredo work as lead storyboard artist on Darren Aronofsky's NOAH movie, and he'd like to do more. Fegredo is currently working on a new Hellboy volume, but as of this time is unsure if he's allowed to give the name away. Suffice to say at some stage things will go BOOM!

r.m. Guéra is a Serbian comic book creator based in Spain. A frequent collaborator of the writer Jason Aaron, their most recent project is the Biblical fiction series The Goddamned.

Pia Guerra is a 2023 Pulitzer Prize finalist for her editorial cartoon work. She is also an award-winning comic book creator, best known for her work as co-creator and lead penciller on the Vertigo title Y: The Last Man, along with Black Canary, Hellblazer, Torchwood, and Doctor Who.
