SUNNY DAYS ARE ROLLIN' IN...
We're coming out of hibernation as the last signs of winter melt away🤞🏼🌞
THANK YOU to everyone who swung by the RAID booth at Toronto Comic Con this past weekend! Whether you picked up a book, got a sketch, chatted with our creators, or just stopped by to say hello — we truly appreciate your support.
Connecting with fellow fans, friends, and creators makes events like this truly special. Enjoy a few moments caught on camera thanks to RAID teammate Maria Donati — who, along with Katie Sawatsky, can be seen researching Sonny Angels in pic four — yeah, we had to google it too 😂
Global News swung by our tables and caught Ramón who, operating on 3hrs sleep, was setting up our tables for the weekend — you can watch some brief snippets HERE and HERE!
A quick note for our local friends — LIFE DRAWING has resumed at our RAID Gallery & Cafe — find our more in the RAID 6IX section of our Substack! Now, on with the show…
ATTENTION: MARCUS TO FANS!
BOOM! Studios are (finally) offering Joyride: The Complete Collection which compiles Marcus To’s creator owned graphic novel written by co-creators Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly! The collection drops on April 15 — snag it at your local comic shop!
As if one Marcus To collection isn’t enough, hitting shelves April 1st we also have the Time Waits complete hardcover collection, a sci-fi adventure with co-creators Chip Zdarsky and David Brothers, brought to you by DSTLRY!
But what’s it about you ask?
Well, it’s about Blue — a soldier from the future, stuck in the present, and haunted by a mission he couldn't finish. After fleeing the corporate overlords who used him as a weapon, he finds peace with Grace, a strong-willed sheriff. But just as they’re about to start a new chapter with adoption, the past comes calling. The overlords want Blue back — or dead.
‘Nuff said!

CLOSING TIME
The Toronto Guardian's "A Day in the Life" series recently featured our beloved and begrudging cat herder: Ramón Pérez. He’s old and tired as he’s been doing this for a while — so, if you ask us, it’s better to do it now, while he’s still coherent 😝
Enjoy some behind-the-scenes photos, snapped by fabled Studio Jean-Guy, at RAID headquarters alongside a very brief Q&A with Ramón.
That’s a wrap for this month dear readers — but fret not! Next update, we’re pulling back the curtain to introduce you to the marvellous minds making the magic happen here at RAID!
And for those who crave the inside scoop, make sure you subscribe to HOT OFF THE PRESS — our official RAID Press newsletter — in which, next month, we’re shining the spotlight on BLITZ, our creator-driven indie comics magazine, packed with pulse-pounding stories, exclusive interviews, and eye-popping art!
OH! BEFORE WE GO — Invincible Season 3 just wrapped, and we’re keen to CHAT about it… what’re your thoughts?
Really enjoyed you guys at the Sketch Duels.
