SDCC ’26: Dark Horse announces return of Frank Miller

Legendary writer and artist Frank Miller is back at Dark Horse, and packing a new series. Not only that, but there’s also more to come.

Welcome back Frank

Anybody who’s a comics fan knows Frank Miller. Or, at the very least, anyone who’s a comics fan has heard of him. An icon in every sense, Miller set the comics world on its head back in the 80s, and hasn’t looked back, with a steady stream of hit runs. Those have taken place across multiple books from the big two, as well as more than a few indie titles.

As it would happen, some of those happened in conjunction with Dark Horse, including mega-hits like 300 and Sin City. Now in 2026, the publisher is welcoming him back, and announcing the debut of a new sci-fi title, with more to come. Before we get to the latter though, there’s Invasive Species to talk about.

Or maybe we should say ‘hint at’, since we don’t actually know a ton about this upcoming mini-series. The title just debuted at Comic Con, and looks like it’ll feature some kind of alien invasion narrative. From the preview art, we’d also wager that it skews towards the gory end of things.

While its story is still a mystery though, the creative team isn’t. The science fiction tale will welcome in artist Ryan Benjamin and colorist Alex Sinclair, among others. At the Con, Benjamin and Sinclair joined Miller, to meet with fans and dish out some signatures, as well as show off the first preview art from the book. That’s the image that you see accompanying this post.

Along with Invasive Species, Miller looks like he’ll have a full plate at his new/old home. Dark Horse hasn’t detailed anything, but says that “Miller is also working alongside Dark Horse Comics for new projects, to be announced at a later date. ” So if you’re a fan of his, stay tuned.
