In what is easily one of the most exciting comic book-related announcements to come out of NYCC 2026, IGN can exclusively reveal that Paper Girls creators Brian K. Vaughan and Cliff Chiang are reuniting for a new project at Image Comics. That series is called ROAM, and it’s their first collaboration in over a decade.
I’m a little ashamed to say it took me a week to post about this, because Paper Girls is one of my favorite comics ever (an easy recommend if you’ve never read it). So, what’s it about?
In the future, everyone gets to be a superhero… but only while you’re young.
From the Eisner Award-winning team behind Paper Girls, ROAM reunites Saga writer Brian K. Vaughan and Catwoman: Lonely City creator Cliff Chiang for their first new ONGOING SERIES in over a decade.
Exploring the power and peril that comes with new adulthood, ROAM is a timeless adventure about the quest we each take in life to finally find our team.
And “our team” seems to be literal, based off of the cover art for the first issue…
That’s right, it looks like a tokusatsu-inspired series, which makes it all the more exciting.
The first issue of ROAM will hit shelves in February 2027.
