Legendary Comics will be releasing a new 120 page graphic novel in mid July 2026.
It’s an official release that promises to offer significant backstory on all of the M:LOM main characters. (I’m personally curious to know more about Kentaro’s adventures between the two seasons.)
The graphic novel is already available for preorder via booksellers. That said, it’s still possible to request to be a late backer for the Kickstarter campaign . Backers at higher tier levels have access to alternate covers and a WĒTĀ Titan Concept Art Portfolio.
From the vendor copy:

Featuring the most beloved characters from the world of Monarch, this graphic novel is one prequel that fans of the Apple TV show will not want to miss!
