Flash Gordon Returns in The Girl From Infinity Vol. 2, Continuing the Savior of the Universe’s Cosmic Adventures

A Planet at War. A Mystery Hidden Among the Stars. And a Young Hero Still Discovering Who She Is.

The universe is calling again, and this time Flash Gordon is bringing courage, chaos, friendship, cute critters, cosmic danger, and serious girl-power energy along for the ride.

Papercutz and Mad Cave Studios, in partnership with King Features, are continuing the bold middle-grade reimagining of one of science fiction’s most iconic heroes with Flash Gordon: The Girl From Infinity Vol. 2, the next chapter in a vibrant new take on the legendary space adventure saga.

Written by GLAAD-nominated, New York Times-bestselling author Marguerite Bennett, known for Batwoman and Animosity, and illustrated by Bev Johnson, with colors by Abigail Paradis and letters by Morgan Martinez, this new volume blends science fiction, fantasy, action, and heart into a story built for young readers who love big worlds, brave heroes, strange monsters, and quests that actually mean something.

This is not just Flash Gordon with a fresh coat of paint. This is Flash Gordon reimagined for a new generation.

In The Girl From Infinity, Flash is no longer simply the classic savior of the universe. She is a mysterious young heroine who fell from a shooting star with no memory, no clear answers, and only the smallest clues about where she came from or why she was sent to this corner of the cosmos. But memory or no memory, Flash Gordon does what heroes do best. She jumps into danger when someone needs help.

That someone is Dale Arden.

Now Flash and Dale are caught in the middle of a planetary war on the alien world of Omnia, where the ruthless Emperor Azimuth seeks to seize control with the help of a strange and dangerous shadow power. Flash has already fought beside a rebel army in an attempt to stop him, but the rebellion failed. Now Flash and Dale are fugitives, the Emperor’s sister is imprisoned, Omnia is collapsing into chaos, and the enemy may know something about Flash’s origins that even Flash herself does not understand.

Yeah, family-friendly does not mean soft, folks. This adventure has stakes.

What makes Flash Gordon: The Girl From Infinity Vol. 2 stand out is the way it brings classic pulp adventure into a modern middle-grade graphic novel format without losing the wonder that made Flash Gordon endure for generations. The story delivers daring escapes, colorful worldbuilding, strange creatures, big emotional moments, and a young heroine learning that leadership is not about having all the answers. Sometimes leadership means standing up when everything around you is falling apart.

For readers ages 10 to 14, this is the kind of book that can open the door to a whole universe of comics and graphic novels. It has the energy of a Saturday morning adventure, the emotional pull of a coming-of-age fantasy, and the kind of visual imagination that keeps pages turning.

Fans of Amulet, The Last Kids on Earth, Cleopatra in Space, and Wings of Fire should absolutely have this on their radar. It is built for readers who want adventurous heroines, imaginative fantasy worlds, monsters, mystery, friendship, and epic quests that feel huge without losing their heart.

The creative team gives this reimagining its own identity while honoring the legacy of the universe first created by Alex Raymond. That balance is important. Flash Gordon has been a cornerstone of science fiction adventure for decades, but The Girl From Infinity is not trapped in nostalgia. It uses the foundation of the classic hero and launches it into a fresh direction that feels welcoming, exciting, and full of possibility.

At its core, Flash Gordon: The Girl From Infinity Vol. 2 is about belonging. It is about becoming a hero before you fully understand who you are. It is about friendship in the face of fear, courage in the middle of chaos, and the idea that sometimes the person who saves the universe is still trying to figure out where she belongs in it.

That is the kind of cosmic storytelling we love to see.
