VICTORIA JAGUAR #1
Marks the Next Chapter of the Underworld Universe
An Immortal Guardian Rises as Ancient Myth and Modern Nightmares Collide!
JULY 23, 2026 (PORTLAND, OR) — Mad Cave Studios proudly announces the next chapter of the Underworld Universe with the debut of VICTORIA JAGUAR, an all-new five-issue series from Underworld creator Mark London (Battlecats, Hunt. Kill. Repeat.), featuring breathtaking painted interior artwork and the main cover by comics superstar Marco Rudy (Bucky Barnes: The Winter Soldier, Justice League Dark), with letters by Pat Brosseau (Dick Tracy).
Since launching in 2024, the acclaimed shared universe has grown into an interconnected line of supernatural thrillers spanning Revolution 9, Hour of the Wolf, Exit City, the crossover event Endless Night, and Mister Nemo. Now, it turns its attention to ancient legends and immortal guardians, broadening the mythology that connects its growing line of supernatural stories.
A man tormented by impossible nightmares journeys across the world in search of the mythical Victoria Jaguar, an immortal guardian chosen by the Night Sky itself centuries ago. But when Victoria uncovers the truth behind his visions, she realizes the nightmare is real—and an unseen enemy has already set its sights on her.
Rooted in ancient mythology and supernatural horror, Victoria Jaguar introduces an immortal protector whose centuries-old legacy collides with an impossible new threat in a thrilling standalone adventure that blends haunting mythology, supernatural horror, and breathtaking painted artwork while expanding the ever-growing Underworld Universe.
