Well, that sounds cool, but what the heck are you talking about?!
Breakneck Comics is the product of a lifelong dream to be a comic book creator. Long before I was a writer, I was an artist, and comic books was my medium of choice. Over time, I realized that my art was all about storytelling and I started writing as well. While I was…okay as an artist, it turned out I was a better writer and I ended up landing on writing novels for my bread and butter. But my dream of creating comics has never faded, and thanks to my success as a novelist, I can now pursue this dream in a big way. Most reasonable people would start with a single book. But I’m not reasonable. I’m ambitious. So we’re kicking things off with FIVE graphic novels. Four are original stories: EXCOMMUNICATED, NECTAR, 1001 SAVES THE WORLD, and GROTESQUE. The fifth is based on my novel, soon to be TV series, PROJECT NEMESIS.
Over the past two years, Kane and I have been working with an unbelievable team of artists from around the world, and we got started without knowing exactly how they’d be published. But I believed in the books so I was all in from the start. After a year of working on the books, we were fortunate enough to be connected with the amazing people at Vault Comics. Feels strange to say they were “blown away” by the books, but the result was a five book partnership deal, so I think they must have been pretty impressed!

What’s a partnership deal?
Other than a phrase I just made up, it basically means that Breakneck (me) and Vault are co-publishing the books. I’m focusing on what I do best–telling stories and art directing–and they’re focusing on the publishing, distribution and marketing of the books, which is something I couldn’t do on my own.
When can we get the graphic novels?!
Glad you asked. The first of the five books will be released in Summer 2026 and then one book per season after that. If all goes well, we’ll be publishing many more than these five books.
It’s hard to explain how excited I am about these books, some of which I’ve been working on since I was 17. I just love the medium and am thrilled to finally FINALLY be creating my own comic book worlds. Stay tuned for more!
