Mad Science Division (2026)

It’s no secret Archimedes Anderson is a nepo hire. Assigned chief-coordinator of R&D at the American arm of genetic engineering and bioweapons development company Miyashi-Smith, everyone knows he’s here for one purpose: to slash the budget and trim the fat. If he can cut 30% from the unaffectionately nicknamed “Mad Science Division” budget, he’ll earn a cushy, high-level job at HQ. He goes in with a move-fast-and-break-stuff attitude, knowing absolutely nothing about the dangerous genetic experiments taking place in the division. When he upsets the delicate equilibrium of the department factions and removes guard rails which protect the workers and the public, he winds up exposing them to terrible, evil experiments. From the twisted minds of Dan Watters (Nightwing; TMNT: Shredder) and Brian Level (Venom: Black, White & Blood) comes a comedic, sci-fi horror series that asks, “What if DOGE dismantled the SCP Foundation?”

Archimedes Anderson’s first major cost-cutting initiative has gone spectacularly wrong. After defunding a remote Miyashi-Smith research facility, he’s stranded a team of scientists on an uninhabited island with a highly contagious virus that turns its victims’ worst impulses into violent compulsions. Armed with a killer drone, a handful of guns, and absolutely no idea what they’re doing, the team discovers the island isn’t quite as abandoned as they thought—and the infection may have spread far beyond the lab. From the twisted minds of Dan Watters (Nightwing; TMNT: Shredder) and Brian Level (Venom: Black, White & Blood) comes a comedic, sci-fi horror five-issue limited series that asks, “What if DOGE dismantled the X-Files unit"

Sunita Wheeler returns from mandatory leave to discover the latest casualty of Miyashi-Smith's budget cuts: the cybernetic project she’s spent years developing. But while Wheeler fights to save her work, Archimedes Anderson has other, more sinister plans for her technology. As Wheeler’s creation finds a new purpose in the hands of the military, one old grudge is about to come roaring back to life. From the twisted minds of Dan Watters (TMNT: Shredder, Nightwing) and Brian Level (Venom) comes a horrific, comedic, science-fiction, five-issue romp where corporate cost-cutting meets mad science—with devastating consequences.
