Dark Horse Comics has announced Nano, a three-issue science-fiction, action-adventure comic series from world-renowned artist Alexandra Grant, NYT bestseller and award-winning author Matt Kindt, and critically acclaimed artist Natacha Bustos. The miniseries is written by Grant and Kindt (BRZRKR, Mind MGMT), illustrated by Bustos (Moon Girl, Miles Morales: Spider-Man), and lettered by Sophia Hilmes. Each issue will be 54 pages and will include cover art by Bustos.
Sana is a badass operative of the underground organization The Order. She and her longtime comrade, Lukas, have been assigned to Nano, a mega-city run on prison labor and roiling from blackouts. While Lukas is tasked with infiltrating Nanocorp’s secretive research facility, Sana’s mission is something she’s never trained for: playing the doting wife of Lukas’s cover. In her guise as a middle-school PE teacher, she’s forced to cool her jets and teach eighth graders stretching while Lukas puts himself in danger. But when the signs are unmistakable and Lukas’s mission is clearly going sideways, Sana can no longer sit on the bench.
“Nano is a story that I’ve been daydreaming about for over twenty years—of two worlds clashing together—that of science and technology and that of magic and nature,” said Grant. “I can’t thank Matt [Kindt] enough for helping me tell the story, and for Natacha [Bustos] and her vivid drawing and color work in bringing Sana and the whole of Nano to life. It feels like a particularly poignant time for Sana to join the world—a heroine whose name means healing in Spanish—to lead a group of women, girls, and animals, to question and kick ass against a complicated tech world that keeps all people, especially men, imprisoned and very, very small.”
Kindt added, “This started as literal fever dream that Alexandra had and was sharing with me. It was so vivid and intricate I was desperate to see it come to life. It has such big and wild ideas that it seemed perfectly suited to comics and I’m honored to be a part of it.”
Nano #1 arrives in comic shops on July 29, 2026. It is now available for preorder from your local comic shop for $8.99.
