What happens when White Lotus meets Glass Onion? You get Worst Man, a sun-soaked graphic novel where sabotage, seduction, and scandal crash a wedding before anyone can say I do. Coming to stores in August 2026 from Titan Comics and the Eisner and GLAAD awards-nominated creative duo Brandt&Stein.
Blending romantic comedy with tropical mystery, the 240-page original graphic novel offers a wildly entertaining ride through family dysfunction, island intrigue, and the messy, unexpected ways love gets in the way of even the best-laid plans.
“Worst Man is a love letter. To comedy, to farce, to crime stories, and above all else, to love. There is nothing so human and beautiful as the connections that bind us, and the ties we make; we wanted to celebrate humanity in all its flawed, messy beauty,” said the creators, Brand&Stein. “We wanted to laugh through our fears and doubts around intimacy and connection. And more than anything, we wanted to have fun, to make something fun.”
With expressive, character-driven artwork and comedic pacing, the book captures everything readers love about “just one more chapter” storytelling. Brandt&Stein deliver a gleefully romantic, delightfully chaotic, and deeply satisfying graphic novel brimming with heart, heat, and high stakes.
“The best way to describe Worst Man is addictive. A masterclass in pacing and how to juggle a rich ensemble cast. Brandt&Stein have long been the secret ingredient to creating incredible books with other writers, but here they take centre stage,” said Phoebe Hedges, the editor behind the book. “Belly laughs, toe-curling moments of family drama, plus heart-meltingly sweet — and sometimes steamy — romance await within its pages.”
Worst Man is out August 25, 2026, bringing readers a fresh, original romcom that blends mystery, mischief, and irresistible chemistry on every page. Pre-order now on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Forbidden Planet in the UK & Europe.
