We have been loving writer Melissa F. Olson, artist Sally Cantirino, and colorist Gab Contreras’ action-adventure tale Archaic from AHOY Comics. (Check out our interview with Melissa F. Olson here!) Filled with gods and monsters and packed with urgency and hope, this series has been a mystery of the wildest order from the start. But all good things must come to a close, with Archaic #5 wrapping up the series next Wednesday, April 23, 2025. What will be the fates of Tess and her family or the monsters and deities populating a sentient island? We’ll have to wait until next week to find out.
However, AHOY Comics has been kind enough to give us an exclusive excerpt from Archaic #5! Get a glimpse of the madcap mayhem below!
