Papercutz, the kids imprint of Mad Cave Studios, has launched a new sci-fi cross-media project called Solar Sisters. Written by Amit Tishler and Elliot Sperl, illustrated by Virginia Salucci, colored by Giulia Zucca, and lettered by Taylor Esposito, the middle-grade adventure is being developed as a connected entertainment universe spanning graphic novels, original music, animated videos, and tabletop gaming.

Animotion Media Group has launched the music project for Solar Sisters with the release of its first single, Solar Cyclone, and an accompanying animated music video. Released on October 9th, the track introduces the sound of the franchise ahead of an upcoming three-song EP rollout, Solar Sisters: Nova Starr, that will launch to coincide with the publication of the Solar Sistersogn.
The single is performed as a duet by HalaCG as “Nova Starr,” and guest vocalist Risa Mei as “Luna Dust,” one of the graphic novel’s central protagonists. A second animated music video, for the second single Controlled, will premiere November 6th. The third song Watch Me Fall will premiere on December 4th, completing the full EP release. Together, the songs and videos establish the music project as both an extension of the original narrative and a distinct gateway into the wider Solar Sisters universe.
The Solar Sisters franchise will continue to expand in 2027 with Stardom: The Solar Sisters Game, a family-friendly, non-violent tabletop roleplaying game about the pursuit of fame. The game is in development with Seattle-based Lichenwood Games, the studio behind Favor: Gods of Oethera and Sapling Scramble, and Amit Tishler’s Vancouver-based 10 Forward Productions.
