Media Release -- Mad Cave Studios announced today that its acclaimed library of original series and upcoming slate of releases will soon be available on Neon Ichiban, the revolutionary digital platform redefining how fans discover, buy, read, and collect digital comics and manga. Neon Ichiban rolled out its invite-only beta last week, with fans already diving into its catalog. A public beta will launch soon.



Comixology veterans David Steinberger and Chip Mosher co-founded Neon Ichiban in 2025 as the definitive digital destination for fans, creators, and publishers. Mad Cave's arrival brings its award-winning catalog, including award-winning titles Nottingham, Pop Kill, and It Killed Everyone But Me, alongside fan favorites such as Speed Racer and Gatchaman.

"Neon Ichiban is a look at the future of comic collecting and the community as a whole. Mad Cave Studios is excited to work with such forward thinking people, like David and Chip, to make sure every comic fan can read and collect their own way!" said Chris Fernandez, Publisher of Mad Cave Studios.

Neon Ichiban serves readers and collectors alike with same-day-as-print comics, manga, collections, and graphic novels, including always-available standard editions alongside limited-edition variants and sketch covers. Fans enjoy seamless digital control, choosing to read online or offline and even downloading a local copy when enabled. With participating publishers, digital comics can be transformed into one-of-a-kind collectibles through digital signatures and remarques from top creators—unique pieces that can be cherished or resold with provenance intact. A built-in secondary marketplace allows fans to buy and sell digital comics while ensuring publishers and creators benefit.

"Mad Cave has quickly established itself as one of the most exciting, ambitious publishers in comics," said David Steinberger, CEO & Co-Founder of Neon Ichiban. "We're thrilled to give their incredible catalog a global stage."

"Mad Cave is one of the most agile and innovative publishers in the market, consistently identifying talent and creating properties with long-term potential," added Chip Mosher, CCO & Co-Founder of Neon Ichiban. "Partnering with them strengthens Neon Ichiban's mission to provide readers with the most cutting-edge, innovative digital library of comics available."

Mad Cave Studios joins publishers (in alphabetical order) Dark Horse, DC, DSTLRY, Dynamite, Kodansha, Marvel, Oni Press, Titan Comics, and Vault Comics, further cementing Neon Ichiban as the one-stop shop for comics and manga in digital form. Mad Cave will make available both its extensive backlist and all future same-day-as-print digital.
