About Shift:

Set generations before the current science cycle, in a time when magic is at its peak and Kaoso is thriving, Syg the White Stag eschews the wishes of his family and the will of the Academy by hitching a ride on a Vojoganto to the center of the universe—Akva—to understand the cause behind what he believes to be the inevitable collapse of the universe as he knows it. Accompanied by his lifelong friend, an accused heretic named Markus, the two set out to unlock the secrets of life and stop the worlds' collapse. Will Syg and Markus be able to complete their mission, or will their time be cut short by the next cosmic shift?

Shift arrives in comic shops on September 2, 2026 for $9.99. It is now available for preorder from your local comic shop for $9.99. Foundations, the first one-shot in the Three Worlds / Three Moons universe, is also available for preorder and will be in comic shops on July 8, 2026.
