NYCC 2026: ‘Paper Girls’ Creators Announce New Series ‘Roam’ From Image Comics

by Olly MacNamee

Writer Brian K. Vaughan and artist Cliff Chiang — the creators of Paper Girls — have reunited for a new Image Comics’ series, Roam, as announced exclusively on IGN ahead of their appearance at NYCC 2026.

“Exploring the power and peril that come with new adulthood, Roam is a timeless adventure about the quest each person takes in life to finally find their team.”

Speaking with IGN, Vaughn said:

“Cliff has already drawn the first several issues of Roam, and I can’t wait for readers to see this breathtakingly original world he and our gifted collaborators Matt Wilson and Jared Fletcher helped create. Thanks so much to the readers and retailers out here who are up for exploring something new with us!”

Chiang added:

“There’s no bigger thrill than breathing life into new worlds with your friends, that electric feeling of collaboration. Roam is unlike anything Brian and I have done before, but inspired by our love for comics as a medium. It’s been a joy to reunite with our trusted teammates Matt and Jared, and I’m incredibly grateful to Image Comics for continuing the creative partnership and exploration that began with Paper Girls. It’s going to be a wild ride!”
