Titan Comics is today sharing a new look at Black Star, a comic book debut which is 25 years in the making for Smallville star Kristin Kreuk. The unmissable five-issue series hails from Kreuk along with co-writers Peter Mooney (Rookie Blue, Mistletoe Murders) and screenwriter Eric Putzer. The first issue will debut in comic book stores on July 29, 2026.
The first issue of Black Star, which also features artwork by Joe Bocardo (Nightwalkers, The Hexiles), will arrive in comic book stores on July 29, 2026.
Alongside new preview artwork Titan has also released a tantalising synopsis for the series:
Amidst skirmishes between two warring factions in the early nineteenth-century fur trade, Dashiell Carlyle discovers he has magical abilities… and that he’s not alone. Thrust into a secret order with designs to use their magic to build a new and better world, Dashiell discovers that their utopia may come at a horrific cost.
It’s a violent world: gritty, bloody, and dark. But that’s balanced with a sense of discovery and awe. The storytelling’s propulsive, and the morality grey. It’s The Revenant meets Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1. It’s a love letter to a frozen corner of the world that few know. It’s weird. And wonderful. And something wholly its own.
Titan’s Black Star comics is set to launch with Issue #1 in stores and on digital devices July 29, 2026.
