Get ready for Demon Rush, the debut graphic novel from writer and worldbuilder Jake Mastar, featuring dynamic artwork and lettering by Drawsmile. This anime-influenced, high-octane dark fantasy blends epic supernatural battles, deep lore, and emotionally complex characters into one immersive story.
Years in development, this first omnibus volume showcases a fully realized world powered by an original energy system where strength is earned through sacred rituals—or stolen through bloodshed. With cinematic visuals and action sequences that channel both shōnen anime and intense thrillers, Demon Rush feels like a cross between a graphic novel, anime series, and fantasy blockbuster.
Set in a world where magic has long faded, the story follows two best friends—Soren Eyer and Rush Cohen—who are torn apart by a demonic invasion and find themselves on opposite sides of a war between angels and demons. When Lucifer captures the Archangel Michael in a desperate play to unlock the Grand Compendium, a grimoire with the power to unleash Hell, Earth is caught in the crossfire.
Soren is rescued by a sacred order and learns to wield Imperium, the divine energy of angels. Rush, meanwhile, is dragged into Limbo by a ruthless warlock and forced to grow stronger with every demon he slays. As their paths diverge and their powers grow, the bond they once shared is put to the ultimate test, setting the stage for a cosmic showdown that could reshape their world.
“This isn’t just a comic—it’s a full-on fantasy universe,” says creator Jake Mastar. “Between the omnibus, the trading card game, and future plans for animation and RPGs, Demon Rush is designed to be a living, breathing saga.”
From rival factions like the Holy Knights and The Black Hand to realms like Limbo and Earth, and relics like the legendary Aethernus sword, Demon Rush is just getting started. Think Berserk meets Blue Exorcist with the wild energy of Kill 6 Billion Demons—it’s an apocalyptic fantasy epic built for fans who want a world they can sink their teeth into.
Demon Rush Vol. 1 launches July 31, 2025.
