Meet Deadly Bounty Hunter CYN in Ibrahim Moustafa’s Brand New Western Sci-Fi Epic

 The Eisner Award-Nominated Creator Delivers A Brutal & Heartrending Thriller In March 2024


Internationally renowned publisher Humanoids announced a brand new original graphic novel CYN. From acclaimed comics creator Ibrahim Moustafa (RetroActive, Mother Panic: Gotham A.D.), colorist Brad Simpson, and letterer Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou, comes a Western-tinged sci-fi tale of savagery and salvation, where one woman’s road to redemption leads through a distant frontier as harsh and unforgiving as her own past. Available in March 2024.

Fleeing her bloody past as the masked cybernetic government enforcer known as Cyn, Meris is discovered unconscious by a former medic and his two adopted daughters.

As they nurse her back to health and she struggles to adapt to a world far from the brutal life she was forced to lead as Cyn, two things become clear: her past isn't ready to let her go, and she isn't the only one whose dark, secret history is threatening to destroy their present.

"CYN is a project that's very dear to me. It's a much more personal work than my previous books, made during a very trying time in my life,” said Moustafa. “At its core, it's a story about someone figuring out who they are after they've lost a piece of themselves, and finding the strength to move forward while the past claws at their heels. I'm very excited and grateful for the opportunity to tell it." 

Ibrahim Moustafa is an illustrator and writer from Portland, Oregon best known for his critically acclaimed Humanoids graphic novels COUNT and RetroActive, the Eisner Award-nominated comic book JAEGER, and his work with several comics publishers including Marvel, DC, Image, and Dark Horse.

CYN will be available in bookstores everywhere (bookshop.org) and in comic shops (comicshoplocator.com) in MARCH 2024. Digital copies can be purchased from comiXology and other digital platforms.
