Source Point Press Announces Three New OGNs For 2025

by Brendan M. Allen

Source Point Press has announced three new graphic novel titles in the action, sci-fi, and fantasy genres. The new books are scheduled for 2025 releases through Simon and Schuster distribution. Alpha Dogs hits stores January 14th, with Riot Force and Nomads receiving tentative Spring store releases. 

Alpha Dogs Vol. 1 is written by Jon Dexter, with art by Fernando Melek, colors by Ezequiel Dominguez and Lucas Orueta, and letters by Lucas Urrutia. It’s billed as a harrowing adventure for dog lovers about a super powered pit bull who journeys across the country to stop an attack on America’s leaders, while being hunted by those who wish to possess his super-powered abilities. 

“After pit bulls were outlawed in our town, I decided to create a comic that demonstrates that dogs, like people, should be judged by the strength of their character, and not by prejudice,” said Dexter. “Alpha Dogs centers on Buck, a dog on the run from mercenaries determined to exploit his incredible powers. Although feared by the public due to Buck’s breed and size, it doesn’t deter him from aiding those in danger.” 

Alpha Dogs Vol. 1 is currently available to pre-order.

Riot Force: Tools of the Rich is a 300+ page graphic novel from writer and artist Austin McKinley that just wrapped up a successful Kickstarter campaign. It tells the story of a wisecracking law enforcement team who have to fight an escaped eco-terrorist with a mysterious personal grudge against their leader. All that, while thwarting the plans of a corporate crime boss who’s out to replace them with his own cybernetic crime fighting creations and trying to stop a nuclear weapon from blowing up the whole city… all while not killing each other in the process. 

“Riot Force is my love letter to the best team-oriented comics of the 1980s,” said McKinley. “It simultaneously glorifies and subverts the action/comedy tropes that made 1980s comics, cartoons, and movies so memorable and fun to re-watch to this day. It also explores deeper themes of loyalty, loss, and justice — all without sacrificing even an ounce of fun, resulting in an equally entertaining and thought-provoking reading experience about finding one’s place in the world.”   

Nomads: Definitive Volume One is an indie comics title previously published by writer and artist Ryan Tavarez. The book is getting an all new remastered deluxe edition release. 

In a time where mankind has fallen, the world has returned primal. Readers follow lead character Hawk as he travels the desolate Badlands looking for his missing tribe.

“Nomads is brutal,” said Tavarez. “It’s about a land where ‘eat or be eaten’ is law. But it’s also about the bonds we form through adversity. Don’t let the voracious monsters and non-stop action fool you, this story has a beating human heart that is sure to hook you along for the journey.” 

Nomads: Definitive Volume One will debut on Kickstarter this Fall and hit store shelves in Spring 2025. 

“We’re so proud to be working with creators like Jon, Ryan, and Austin. And this is only a handful of the new titles coming down the pipeline that we’re thrilled about,” says Source Point Chief Creative Officer Joshua Werner. “There are so many incredible talents and driven creators in the industry right now, especially those making creator-owned IPs. It truly is a great time to be a lover of the comics medium.”
