Avery Hill Publishing - Spring 2027 ⋆ First Comics News

Dear friends, we’re excited to announce our upcoming titles for spring 2027!

The Arc Fall by Owen D. Pomery

Kill The Dream by Clio Isadora

Under Ismyre by B. Mure

Avery Hill Publishing Publisher and Commissioning Editor Ricky Miller said of the new list:

“This Spring 2027 list is a perfect snapshot of what Avery Hill is and what we’re building. It brings together a diverse group of creators we’ve worked with across multiple books. Owen D. Pomery and B. Mure have been with us since the very beginning, contributing to our early zines and anthologies. Helping creators build careers while we build a publishing company has always been the idea, and this list shows it in action.

“I’m delighted to be publishing The Arc Fall, the sequel to The Hard Switch, one of our best-selling books. As a sci-fi nerd, this pushes all my buttons, and it’s brilliant to return to Owen’s world and characters. The story is gripping, the characters are compelling and the art is sublime. This is fast becoming a classic sci-fi series.

“Clio has been one of the most exciting voices in British comics since her first book with us, and Kill The Dream is a huge leap forward. She’s kept the playfulness and invention that made Sour Pickles such a delight, but turned them towards something far more unsettling. What got me most is the heart beneath the strangeness: for all its eerie rituals, this is a book about sisters, and about what we inherit from the people who bring us up. It’s the kind of unsettling story that gets under your skin and stays there, and I can’t wait for readers to discover it.

“Under Ismyre is the final book in the Ismyre series, and I can’t wait for readers to see how it ends! We published the first book back in 2017, and every new instalment since has been an absolute joy. B. Mure is a brilliant artist, and his themes of ecology and protest have only become more relevant over the years. I’m so proud of B. for this achievement, and delighted we’ve been able to help him find readers who love the series as much as we do.”

From the creator of The Hard Switch comes The Arc Fall, an all-new science fiction graphic novel featuring the return of Ada, Haika, and Mallic.

Inter-system space travel is now only the reserve of the elite. Still trying to solve an eons old mystery that could re-democratise the galaxy, Ada, Haika and Mallic must also stay one step of their relentless pursuers; the shady X2 organisation. Even laying low becomes an impossibility as society’s most basic structures start to crumble, forcing the crew to make fundamental and devastating choices in order to survive.

As self-preservation grips the galaxy, propelled by waves of fear and mistrust, loyalties are pushed to breaking point, and pulling together may not be enough.

Is a new beginning in sight, or is it the beginning of the end?

The stunning conclusion to the fantastical Ismyre series.

In the sweeping conclusion to B. Mure’s quietly powerful and allegorical Ismyre saga, the city trembles in the aftermath of the catastrophic events that closed Disciples of the Soil. With the land still shifting beneath their feet and political tensions at an all‑time high, the citizens of Ismyre must confront the consequences of unchecked ambition, ecological imbalance, and years of simmering unrest.

Told with Mure’s signature tenderness, wry humour, and atmospheric watercolour artwork, this final volume weaves together themes of resistance, community care, environmental stewardship, and the fragile, ever‑present hope that small actions can reshape the world.

Both intimate and sweeping in scope, it brings the Ismyre cycle to a deeply human, cathartic, and magical close—a farewell to a world of quiet wonders, uneasy truths, and the enduring strength found in solidarity.

The final Ismyre graphic novel is a poignant, beautifully crafted conclusion to one of contemporary comics’ most distinctive and enchanting fantasy series.
