JUNE 2, 2025 (PORTLAND, OR) — The future is psychic. The past is alien. And the family secret is bigger than all of it!
Collecting the full first arc of the Mad Cave Studios series, from writer Chris Moses (Control Z) and breakout Italian artist Andrea Giannini comes the trade paperback debut of SYNAP VOL. 1, the mind-bending mech adventure with a human core.
In the year 2030, a family-run private defense company, Synap, secretly puts together the pieces of a mysterious giant robot while training psychically gifted individuals to one day control it. However, with the startling increase in UFO sightings, the family finds their time is running out to assemble the ancient machine.

“Evokes everything from Evangelion to Stranger Things, but with a heartbeat all its own.” —AiPT
“High sci-fi meets heart… and giant freaking robots.”
—The Comic Book Yeti
“An action-packed debut steeped in mystery and heart.” — Multiversity Comics
With colors by James Offredi and letters by Reed Hinckley-Barnes, Synap pushes genre boundaries while celebrating representation with a diverse, emotionally complex cast—including biracial and non-binary characters.
Whether you’re here for the high-octane mech fights or the found-family feels, this one’s not to be missed.
