PRE-ORDER: 'Blade Forger' #1 by Roy and Inaki Miranda, Inaki Miranda, and Eva De La Cruz

BLADE FORGER begs the question, What happens when utopia is born from necessity—can one person change the world?



Writers: Roy and Inaki Miranda
Artist: Inaki Miranda
Colorist: Eva De La Cruz
Letterer: Dave Sharpe

The discovery of CORUM, a never seen before energy source, led to a bloody world war for its control. After years of destruction, the Lords of the Lands agreed to negotiate a ceasefire for lasting peace. The BLADE FORGERS TREATY was born from that meeting. This treaty established that the mining of Corum would be centralized through one government, led by a neutral Emperor. The Emperor would have to be a BLADE FORGER, a mystical swordsman, and claim the title in a tournament called The Tournament of the Five Rings. Every five years Blade Forgers from every corner of the Empire would fight for the possibility of becoming the new Emperor. A young Blade Forger named Owada challenges the Emperor in the name of the forsaken people. This is the story of what happens next.

Publication Date: March 5, 2025

“Blade Forger was born from two crises; both imposed and unexpected. The first was having to abandon (temporarily, we hope) our WE LIVE story halfway through, despite its success. We had to shut down a universe and characters that were already part of our lives and with whom we had come to build a dream. That's not easy to assimilate.

The second was the world energy crisis resulting from the war between Russia and Ukraine. For months there were warnings in Europe about the possibility of energy supplies not reaching homes. We talked about the fear and helplessness that arises when a basic commodity cannot reach everyone, knowing that what will happen is only under the control of large corporations. And the consequences: something as simple as a family not being able to afford heating in winter.

The question that triggered the idea was: could energy become a common good for all? All the pieces fell into place in a magical way. The entire Mad Cave team absorbed our enthusiasm and multiplied it by 100. We promised we’d be back! And as Blade Forger's slogan says: a promise is a promise.” – Roy and Inaki Miranda

For longer than they can remember, these child vampires have lived a life of eternal wonder amongst the ruins of humanity.
