With 2025 rapidly drawing to a close, it's time to start thinking about the best media of the year. When it comes to comics, one recent graphic novel has emerged as a clear contender for the best release of 2025 - Jesse Lonergan's Drome.
If you're not familiar with this ambitious and imaginative sci-fi graphic novel, why not check out an exclusive preview of Drome in the slideshow gallery below?
Drome is written and illustrated by Lonergan, who previously collaborated with Hellboy creator Mike Mignola on 2023's Miss Truesdale and the Fall of Hyperborea. The book is published by 23rd St., an imprint of MacMillan Publishers.
Here's the official logline for Drome:
Jesse Lonergan rewrites the rules of graphic novels with Drome, a visually mind-blowing epic about war, love, and death in a fledgling world.
First, there was nothing. Then, humanity was born, and an endless cycle of violence began. From the depths of the ocean, a mighty demigoddess is called forth to rein in humankind’s destructive impulses, and teach a language of peace and harmony. Civilization quickly takes root, a great city rising from the desert. But the balance between chaos and order is a fragile one, and there are higher powers at work in this strange new world.
Creator Jesse Lonergan pushes the boundaries of the comics medium in this visually spectacular epic. In turns pulse-pounding and heart-wrenching, Drome is a creation myth for the modern age.
Drome is available in bookstores and comic shops now. You can order a copy on Amazon.
