Source Point Press' Full 2026 Q2 Publishing Plan
Source Point Press recently announced its release slate for Spring 2026, debuting 8 graphic novels while enacting a “Direct Market First” publishing strategy. Partnering with Prana Direct Market Solutions, Source Point Press will distribute its graphic novels to the comic book specialty market weeks or months before competitors.
“We tip our hat to our partners at Source Point Press for giving priority treatment to the comic book specialty market,” says Keith Davidsen, Direct Market Specialist at Prana. “Comic shops are still the best places for independent voices and graphic storytellers to find their audience, so debuting SPP’s library of quality, diverse titles in that marketplace—and granting those retailers the first chance to make the sale—is a wonderful boon.”
Here are the 8 titles that were announced in their Press Release
Homestead
Writer - Dirk Manning
Artist - Les Lindon Garner
Colorist - Colin Johnson
North Dakota, 1868: A retired soldier prepares his new family for a fresh start on land issued to him as part of the Homestead Act, unaware it overlaps with territory occupied by the Lakota Nation, including a proud warrior and a zealous medicine man willing to go to supernatural extremes in order to protect their people's way of life.
What happens next is not a story of "good guys" versus "bad guys", but rather a story of two families each trying to defend their loved ones, their way of life, and their homestead.

Riot Force: Tools of the Rich
Writer/Artist - Astin McKinley
The year is 2045 -- as if civil unrest, climate change, and mass poverty weren't bad enough, the world has witnessed the rise of a new breed of technological robber barons who every month unleash new horros seemingly beyond the reach of law.
The federal government creates a task force of militarized police, including specialists in reconnaissance, intelligence, operations and tactics and gives them carte blanche to keep the simmering stew pot of domestic unrest from boiling over.
However, the formation of a visible symbol of authority only creates an arms race of the weird, the desperate, and the opportunistic. Soon, this new task force finds themselves battling mutant frogmen, mad bombers, and ninjas in fighter jets.

Plan 59 from Outer Space
Writers -Michael Dolce & James Mascia
Artist - Joaquin Gonzalez
Back in 1957, Ed Wood brought us a movie about aliens who tried to raise the dead in order to destroy humanity in order to prevent us from causing a galaxy destroying weapon that they believed we would one day create. This was Plan 9 from Outer Space.
Obviously, plans 1 through 8 failed, and (spoiler alert, but frankly the movie has been out for 63 years now, so there shouldn’t be much to spoil) so did Plan 9. But what happened in the years since 1957? Did the aliens just give up? Were they going to cease their plans to stop us and save the galaxy? Of course not. Almost 60 years have passed, and in that time, they have attempted to destroy us nearly 50 more times, and humanity has become quite adept at fighting them off. But today, they are coming back for their 59th plan, a plan that is so nefarious, it just might work.
How will the aliens try to destroy humanity this time? Just look in your hand. That little device that’s always by your side and that you could never live without. They will destroy us using our own cell phones.
