A psychedelic sci-fi heart-wrencher that asks, “How far would we go to save the people we love, and what happens when belief itself becomes the engine for exploration?”


From writer Kenny Porter (Superboy: The Man of Tomorrow, DC: Mech) and artist Mike Becker (Young Offenders!), with colors by Kevin Betou (Tempo), letters by Buddy Beaudoin (Gatchaman), and featuring a cover B by Khary Randolph (Wolverine: Black, White & Blood) and retailer incentive by Daniel Warren Johnson (The Moon is Following Us), The New Space Age charts a course beyond the stars in this exciting five-issue limited series!

The New Space Age #1
Writer: Kenny Porter
Artist: Mike Becker
Colorist: Kevin Betou
Letterer: Buddy Beaudoin

Disgraced astronaut Mark Mitchell has only ever had one true mission—to find his little brother Joey, who was abducted by aliens from a crop circle when they were little. But when Mark’s hotshot piloting gets him grounded and the last of the public space program defunded, Mark loses his only means of finding Joey out in space.

Until Mark’s homemade scanning rig discovers the shocking truth about the crop circles—they’re instructions for space travel.

Mark will need to uncover the hidden messages that have been left on Earth for years, and reverse engineer the magic that can finally help him find Joey.

Publication Date: December 17, 2025







 

“The New Space Age is a really personal story that I can’t wait for readers to dive into. While the series deals with space travel, aliens, and magic, it also explores the very real feelings around losing a family member. We’ve all had to deal with loss, but it’s important to remember to never give up on hope and the wonder we can find in the world around us and the stars above.”
– Writer, Kenny Porter
"The beating heart of the narrative is Mark Mitchell’s quest to find his younger brother. As the oldest of three brothers, that was my entryway into the story. My brothers are my favorite people on this planet (or any planet, but I’ve only really been to this one) and like the character, and I would move heaven and earth for them if I could. It's also a story about belief, and taking steps towards a better tomorrow while grappling with your past. If there's one take away I hope our audience finds in this story it's to take those steps." – Artist, Mike Becker

Score: ★★★★1/2 (4.5/5) There are certain comic book creators whose books I'll pick up without hesitation. One of those creators is Jeff Lemire. He instills confidence knowing that his stories will be thoughtful and engaging. You add a talented artist like Dustin Nguyen on another collaborative effort and well, 'Little Monsters,' is a must-buy. I know, shocking.   They team up again with an intriguing post-apocalyptic vampire tale featuring "the last children on Earth" who've been left to their own devices among the ruin...
