MILWAUKIE, Ore., (February 19, 2025)— Dark Horse Books presents Renegade Royale, the follow-up to Ben Kahn, Rachel Silverstein, and Sam Back’s GLAAD Media Award-nominated queer VR gaming graphic novel, Renegade Rule. Kahn (Mr. Muffins: Defender of the Stars, Monster High: Howliday Haunt) and Silverstein (The Legend of Korra: Patterns in Time, Renegade Rule) return to write the sequel with Sam Beck (Loving, Ohio, Verse) illustrating, and Jim Campbell (The Great British Bump-Off, Welcome to the Maynard) lettering. The team returns in the new volume, out Summer 2025.
About Renegade Royale: Since their defeat at the VR gaming championship for Renegade Rule, the team members of the Manhattan Mist haven’t lost an ounce of momentum. So when a new brawl mode is introduced to the game—along with a sponsored inaugural competition—they’re in it to win it (again)! But in this tournament, only one player can be crowned champion. Get ready for a burgeoning romance between two team members, all-new character classes, and new rivals who will push Tonya, Sasha, Amanda and Jessie to their very limits. Whether or not the Mist can make some time between jokes, swears, and stolen glances to make one of their own a VR gaming champion remains to be seen!
“We’re so thrilled to return to the world and friendships of Renegade Rule,” said Kahn and Silverstein. “We had so much more story to tell with these characters, and we can’t wait to share more queer romance and VR action with readers.”
Renegade Royale (paperback, 120 pages, 6.625” x 10.1875”) will be available wherever books are sold on July 29, 2025. It is now available to preorder from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Things From Another World, and your local comic shop and bookstore for $19.99. |
