Mad Cave Studios isn’t just dabbling in darkness—it’s taking a full dive into it. With Endless Night, writer Mark London and artist Tom Derenick deliver a blistering, high-stakes noir that doesn’t ask for your attention—it demands it. This isn’t a story about heroes in capes. It’s a savage, supernatural descent into a world where even the faintest glimmer of morality feels like a dying light.
In this shadow-drenched city where daylight has vanished, chaos reigns supreme. Endless Night drops you into a landscape ruled by devils, corrupted systems, and the fractured souls who try—against all odds—to fight back. It’s not just dark. It’s pitch black, yet irresistibly vibrant.
Where Grit Meets Supernatural Seduction
Visually, the book hits hard. Derenick’s illustrations feel wired with electricity. Each panel crackles with movement, emotion, and tension. Whether it’s a quiet alley or a full-blown action sequence, his layouts never sit still. The city itself becomes a character—stoic, broken, and strangely beautiful.
Juancho Velez’s color work adds emotional texture to every page. He guides the reader’s eye with bursts of color that cut through the gloom like neon signs in a nightmare. At the same time, Simon Bowland’s lettering dances between menace and music, whispering secrets one moment, screaming danger the next.
Together, this creative team builds something rare: a visual rhythm that grabs your pulse and doesn’t let go. The experience is immersive. It forces you to slow down, absorb the details, and lean into the mystery.
A New Lens on Heroism—and Horror
Mark London’s script doesn’t waste time with exposition. Instead, it trusts you to find your footing in a world where every character is flawed, every choice costs something, and nothing comes clean. The characters—human, monstrous, or something in between—don’t search for redemption. They survive. They compromise. And sometimes, they make you wish they hadn’t.
Yet, despite its grim palette, Endless Night isn’t hopeless. It’s rich with purpose, laced with tension, and built on the bones of classic noir storytelling. What elevates it is how it refuses to hold your hand. Every twist feels earned. Every decision ripples through the story with weight and consequence.
This Is Noir for the Now
Fans of supernatural thrillers, detective fiction, and gothic horror will find a strange kind of comfort in Endless Night. But this isn’t nostalgia—it’s reinvention. London isn’t retreading old tropes. He’s pushing them into the modern era, layering them with urgency and a lyrical bite that feels entirely his own.
In a market flooded with reboots and rinse-repeat storylines, Endless Night offers something more. Something riskier. It’s not just a comic—it’s a confrontation. A challenge to embrace the murk and find meaning inside the madness.
Mad Cave Studios has created a standout experience that’s cinematic, poetic, and packed with narrative muscle. For anyone tired of formulaic storytelling, this is the jolt to the system you didn’t know you needed.
Don’t just read it. Get lost in it.
