PRE-ORDER: The Dark Revenge Fantasy 'Ferocious' #1 by Luke Piotrowski, Emanuele Ercolani, and Paolo Raiteri

Screenwriter Luke Piotrowski (Hellraiser, The Night House) brings his character-driven horror sensibility to comics for the first time


Ferocious #1

Writer: Luke Piotrowski
Artist: Emanuele Ercolani
Colorist: Paolo Raiteri
Letterer: Carlos M. Mangual

A tavern boy’s sheltered life is overturned by the arrival of a towering, draconic woman, a wayward soldier from a distant war who single-handedly lays waste to his entire village. He swears an oath of righteous vengeance but in order to fulfill it he’ll have to seek training… from the warrior woman herself. Ferocious is epic fantasy on an intimate scale, a revenge thriller like no other, one that stirs the heart as it goes for the jugular.

Publication Date: November 19, 2025

FEROCIOUS #1 is now up for preorder from comic shops (FOC: October 27, 2025) and the Mad Cave site. It arrives at your LCS November 19, 2025. 







“I’ve found some success as a screenwriter over the years and made many films I’m quite proud of but Ferocious is the story that I’ve always wanted to tell, a quest for vengeance with an emotional toll, not just a moral or physical one. I’m so excited to be partnering with Mad Cave on my first comic book project, a lifelong dream. And I’m thrilled to have been paired with Emanuele Ercolani. We may be separated by a geographical ocean but we speak the same language when it comes to our influences. This is the scope and scale of high fantasy filtered through the intimate lens of a samurai film. I can’t wait for readers to meet these characters and take part in their heart-wrenching, bone-crunching journey.” – Writer, Luke Piotrowsk
Ferocious is the kind of story that forces you to draw with a knife between your teeth. When I read the script, I knew it wasn’t just about revenge or fantasy — there was something raw, something personal at its core. We tried to bring that constant tension to the page — the emotional weight, the clash between beauty and brutality. Every panel was built like a film shot: composition, rhythm, silence. Working with Luke has been truly inspiring. We speak the same language and feel the same things. Ferocious hits where it hurts. It’s like a katana held to your throat.”
