Dark Horse Books Announces ‘Gunnerkrigg Court’ Volume 2 For Spring 2025

Dark Horse Books has announced a new addition to Tom Siddell’s sci-fi fantasy saga with Gunnerkrigg Court Volume 2. This paperback volume features new cover art and updated interior art by Siddell and follows chapters 23-41 of the long-running webcomic, with a numbered and signed tip-in page.

Change is hard, especially when you’re a student at an enigmatic boarding school like Gunnerkrigg Court…and for Annie Carver, it’s never been so sudden. After a shocking revelation about her mother’s death sends her into an overwhelming fit of rage, she runs away to the neighboring Gillitie Wood. There, forest god Coyote reveals even more about her parentage that will change the course of her life forever.

As for Kat, her research advances by leaps and bounds when she discovers an unexpected method of awakening the Court’s oldest robots. While she learns more about the robots’ original creator, Diego, she must also make a heartbreaking decision in order to move forward. And one question lingers in both girls’ minds: What exactly is the seed bismuth?

Meanwhile, things are just as eventful for the rest of the Gunnerkrigg crew and residents of the Gillitie Woods. Shadow’s world quite literally turns upside down, Parley reveals her relationship with Smitty to her friends, Red gets a name, Annie’s father momentarily surfaces with alarming consequences, and Zimmy lends a powerful helping hand in Annie’s time of need. Amidst all this, great secrets are revealed by parties on both sides of the Annan Waters.

The Gunnerkrigg Court Volume 2 paperback and Limited Edition hardcover editions clock in at 608 pages. Both versions will both be available on April 8th, 2025 in bookstores and on April 9th, 2025 in comic shops. The paperback edition will retail for $34.99, and the Limited Edition hardcover will retail for $79.99. They are both available for pre-order now at your local comics shop or book store.
