Mark London and Marco Rudy Bring Ancient Myth, Immortal Guardians, and Supernatural Horror to the Underworld Universe This November
AUG. 25, 2026 (PORTLAND, OR) — Mad Cave Studios proudly announces the next chapter of the Underworld Universe with the debut of VICTORIA JAGUAR #1, 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.
“Victoria Jaguar is the book I’ve been waiting my whole career to write. She’s been healing the world for two hundred years, and healers have always fought for their patients. Combat medics carry guns. Victoria carries the night sky. Somebody just declared war on her patients, and that was a mistake. The Underworld is turning toward its oldest myths. Dream predators. Immortal guardians. The things waiting on the other side of that jolt right before you fall asleep. And Marco Rudy was born to paint this book. Every page comes back looking like a dream you don’t want to wake up from, right up until it becomes a nightmare you can’t. I write the words, but Marco paints the way sleep actually feels. I’ve never made anything like this before. November can’t get here fast enough.” —Mark London
Victoria Jaguar blends haunting mythology, supernatural horror, and breathtaking painted artwork into an unforgettable adventure that stands on its own while enriching the ever-expanding Underworld Universe.
The new series arrives in comic shops on November 11, 2026 (FOC October 19), with issue #1 available with Covers B and C, a Foil Cover (Cover D), and a Glow-in-the-Dark Cover (Cover E), artists TBA.
