This fall, writer Stephanie Williams, artist Asiah Fulmore, colorist DJ Chavis, and letterer Becca Carey are teaming up on a brand new sci-fi heist series from Mad Cave Studios, and The Beat has all the details. Temporal is a five-issue limited series following former temporal thieves Savannah and Marcus, who left that life behind to start a family… or did they?
Here’s the full synopsis:
Once upon a time, Savannah and Marcus were the most skilled temporal thieves in the business, slipping through history to acquire rare artifacts. That was before they settled down, had a son, and built a quiet life together. Ten years later, as their son Harper celebrates his birthday, Savannah questions whether suburban bliss is enough. When Harper’s disappointment over a replica gaming console triggers memories of her former life, Savannah makes a decision that could jeopardize everything she and Marcus have built. Against her husband’s knowledge and her best friend’s warnings, Savannah steps back into the portal for “one last job” – a simple mission to retrieve an original gaming console from the past. But nothing stays simple for long in a business where time is money.

“Temporal represents a significant full-circle moment for me,” said Williams. “It’s a sci-fi adventure that explores the effects of revisiting the lives we once led and how this impacts our present and future. What makes this story truly special is that it was inspired by motherhood—the very experience that propelled me into a dream career I never knew I could achieve until I did. Sometimes, the most profound temporal shift isn’t about traveling through time. It’s about discovering who you can become when love transforms everything you thought you knew about yourself.”
Fulmore said, “I’ve been very excited to work with Stephanie. She is such an inspiration for me. I’m very proud to be working on this project with her! I feel like the Morris family became a part of my very own. I hope readers feel just as connected to the characters and their story as I did.”
Temporal #1 will be available digitally and at your local comic shop on October 1. Pre-orders will be available through Lunar Distribution starting July 18.
