Actor and writer David Dastmalchian is no stranger to dark, twisted tales, and now he’s bringing that same haunting energy to the world of comics. Teaming up with Z2, Dastmalchian is set to debut an original graphic novel that blends surreal fantasy with psychological depth, centering on a young woman’s journey through a world that may be her salvation… or her undoing. You can check out the official details of the graphic novel below.

DAVID DASTMALCHIAN AND Z2 TAKE READERS “THROUGH” TO A NEW GRAPHIC NOVEL UNIVERSE

David Dastmalchian (Late Night with the Devil, The Suicide Squad, Murderbot) has partnered with Z2 to release a powerful new original graphic novel telling the astonishing story of Alix, a young woman driven by a compulsive need to control the world around her. After a near-death experience, she’s thrust into a labyrinthine realm cloaked in shadows and populated by fantastical creatures, where she is stunned to discover that this mysterious land has been constructed solely for her… A kingdom to rule? Or a prison? As danger closes in, threatening complete obliteration, she must decipher the clues that reveal the true nature of this realm in order to save both the land… and herself.

THROUGH

As part of the promotion and launch of THROUGH, David will be appearing at a number of exciting events during the 2025 San Diego Comic Con, including a panel on Thursday, July 24th at 5:45 in Room 6DE alongside artists Cat Staggs, David Mack and editor Rantz Hoseley, as they talk about the story’s development and secrets. Following the panel, he is a featured guest later that night at Z2 & Fandom’s party at the Hard Rock Cafe. For those who want to get up close and personal, David will be signing at the Z2 booth (#1529) at 1pm on Friday. And finally, David’s SDCC promotion of THROUGH will wrap as a presenter at the 2025 Eisner Awards.

The 140 page book is available in a Deluxe Edition as well as a signed Platinum Edition, which comes with art prints, a set of Focus Cards, and a metal pin featuring the needle that serves as Alix’s doorway to the world of Ananda Apastan.
