Through this alliance, Rocketship Entertainment will publish key PANICK titles, unlocking broader access across comic shops, retail, direct-to-consumer platforms, and emerging sales channels. Together, the companies are doubling down on fearless storytelling, creator-first collaboration, and genre-bending projects that challenge the status quo of mainstream comics.

This partnership gives PANICK the firepower to scale, reach new readers, and meet the moment head-on.”
