SHIFT Blasts Into Dark Horse as Three Worlds / Three Moons Expands Its Sci-Fi Saga!

WEPA! Buckle up, cosmic crusaders, because Dark Horse Comics is taking readers way, way back before the madness, before the current science cycle, and before Foundations with SHIFT, a brand-new one-shot from the mind-bending Three Worlds / Three Moons universe. This is not just a side quest, folks. This is the deep-lore, universe-cracking, magic-at-maximum-power kind of comic that makes sci-fi fans sit up straight and whisper, “Oh, we’re going there?”

Written by Jonathan Hickman, illustrated by the always-electrifying Mike del Mundo, and lettered by Rus Wooton, SHIFT throws readers into a lost age of wonder where magic is peaking, Kaoso is thriving, and the universe itself may be staring down the barrel of collapse. Presented as a 64-page prestige, magazine-sized one-shot, this is big-format storytelling with big-brain Hickman energy and del Mundo visuals ready to melt retinas in the best way possible.

At the center of this cosmic storm is Syg the White Stag, who decides family expectations and Academy rules can go take a space hike. Instead of playing it safe, Syg hitches a ride on a Vojoganto to Akva, the center of the universe, chasing answers to what he believes is the inevitable collapse of everything he knows. Because apparently regular road trips were too easy.

Joining him is Markus, his lifelong friend and an accused heretic, because nothing says “buddy adventure” like forbidden knowledge, cosmic doom, and possibly being erased by the next universal shift. Together, they set out to unlock the secrets of life itself before the worlds come crashing down around them.

SHIFT arrives in comic shops on September 2, 2026, priced at $9.99, and is available now for preorder through local comic shops. Foundations, the first one-shot in the Three Worlds / Three Moons universe, arrives earlier on July 8, 2026, setting the stage for Dark Horse’s rollout of this massive sci-fi saga.

Originally launched on Substack, Three Worlds / Three Moons comes from the powerhouse creative team of Jonathan Hickman, Mike del Mundo, Mike Huddleston, and Nick Spencer, spanning comics, graphic novels, and more as Dark Horse brings the universe to comic shops and bookstores beginning July 2026.

If you love ancient magic, collapsing realities, strange mythology, prestige-format comics, and sci-fi that doesn’t spoon-feed you baby food, SHIFT needs to be on your radar. Preorder it now, because this universe is expanding fast — and you do not want to be the one catching up later like you missed the spaceship.
