Arcane-Inspired Fantasy and '100 Bullets' Team Headline Dstlry's August Solicits

Dstlry just dropped its August 2026 comic solicits, and the lineup is a powerful mix of acclaimed creators and ambitious new series. Headlining the month is A Mischief of Magpies #2, the fantasy epic from Simon Spurrier and Matías Bergara, which continues to draw comparisons to animation heavyweights like Arcane and the beloved film The Boy and the Heron.

Fans have been eagerly following Mar's journey into the Wandering City. This second issue dives deeper into the machine-metropolis as Mar hunts the Moray King, but not without a steep price paid in his real-world life. Bergara's artwork is consistently stunning, bringing Spurrier's intricate world to vivid life. This 48-page prestige issue promises more of the rich, immersive storytelling readers expect from the Coda and Step By Bloody Step team.

Also debuting is The Blood Brothers Mother, a new graphic novel hardcover from the legendary Eisner-winning duo Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso. Known for their seminal crime series 100 Bullets, Azzarello and Risso pivot to the brutal American West for this tale. Three children embark on a relentless quest across the unforgiving Texas frontier to rescue their mother, kidnapped by outlaws who murdered their preacher father. The story promises a deep exploration of revenge's dark cost, a theme perfectly suited to the creators' gritty, uncompromising style. Clocking in at 200 pages, this hardcover is a substantial offering for fans of mature, impactful storytelling.
