Hey comic fans, I’ve got some news that’s going to make your shelf look a whole lot better.
Mark Millar and Leinil Yu’s brilliant supervillain heist series is coming back in a gorgeous oversized hardcover format. Dark Horse Books is releasing the Supercrooks Library Edition in July 2026, and it’s going to be a stunner. We’re talking 8″ x 12.1875″ of premium hardcover goodness that collects all four issues of this clever crime caper. Think Ocean’s Eleven with masks, and you’re on the right track.
The premise alone is genius. Think about it for a second. Why would any supervillain in their right mind try to pull a job in a city crawling with superheroes? Robbing a bank in a place like Metropolis or Gotham is basically asking to get caught and thrown in prison. But here’s the thing. Europe doesn’t have superheroes. At all.
So what happens when a group of American supervillains decides to take their talents overseas? They head to Spain, naturally. Sun, beaches, and the perfect opportunity to pull off a legendary heist. The story follows Johnny Bolt and the team he’s assembled to pull the ultimate job and make them all richer than their wildest dreams. Their target is one of the greatest criminal minds of all time, now retired and living the good life on the Costa Del Sol with all his loot tucked away in a secret location. It’s the kind of setup that makes you wonder why more supervillains don’t book international flights.
The creative team behind this is absolutely top-notch. Mark Millar, the mind behind hits like Huck and Kingsman, crafted a story that’s equal parts clever heist thriller and superhero subversion. Leinil Yu handled the pencils, with Gerry Alanguilan bringing the inks and Sunny Gho adding the vibrant colors. VC’s Clayton Cowles lettered the whole thing, and the cover art for this edition comes from Ozgur Yildirm. Every page is a visual treat, and seeing it all in this oversized format is going to be spectacular.
Just a heads up, this one’s for mature audiences, so keep that in mind when you’re adding it to your collection.
The Supercrooks Library Edition clocks in at 112 pages and will be available in bookstores and comic shops on July 7 and 8, 2026. You can pre-order it right now from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or your local comic shop or bookstore for $49.99. If you’re a fan of heist stories, superhero twists, or just beautiful comic art, this is one you’ll want to grab.
Trust me, this is the kind of book that makes you want to flip back through immediately after finishing, just to catch all the clever details you missed the first time around
