Paperctuz and Mad Cave Studios are teaming up to debut a brand new series perfect for fans of Pokémon, The Iron Giant, and Pacific Rim. Hailing from Ringo Award-winning writer David Pepose (Space Ghost) and acclaimed artist Ornella Greco (Star Trek: Picard’s Academy), Ten-Ton Titan Terrier will launch in stores in October 2025.
When an asteroid unleashes a horde of alien monsters known as Bio-Titans, Earth must turn to a suit of extraterrestrial battle armor to save the day — but there’s just one catch. Because the only creature on the planet capable of turning it on… is an 11-inch-tall terrier named Holly. With the Bio-Titan threat escalating by the second, Holly and her scientist owner Sam will find their unique bond tested, as he trains his mischievous mutt to become not just man’s best friend, but humanity’s only hope.
“Equal parts Pokémon and The Iron Giant, Ten-Ton Titan Terrier is a passion project that I’ve spent the last five years bringing to life, and I couldn’t be more excited to work with superstar artist Ornella Greco and Papercutz to make this book a reality,” said writer David Pepose. “This book was inspired by my own terrier Holly, who packed ten tons of personality in her 11-inch tall frame. Filled to the brim with action, excitement, and heart, Ten-Ton Titan Terrier is perfect for dog lovers, kaiju fans, and giant robot enthusiasts of all ages.”
Illustrator Ornella Greco added, “One of the best projects I’ve worked on. Not only because the story and characters have been so much fun to work with, but also because there’s been great teamwork the entire time!”
