Oni Press announced the November 2025 release of Agent Cupcake, a new middle-grade graphic novel about a unicorn spy by the team known as Triple Dream Comics.
Twelve-year-old Miguel Mangayayam has always loved one thing: mystical beasts. So he’s thrilled when he’s hired by the Mystical Beasts Bureau (MBB) to be their first ever human spy, where he’ll use his encyclopedic knowledge of hippogriffs, mermaids, dragons, and more to solve the latest cases. Even better? He’s partnered with the supercool unicorn superspy, Agent Cupcake! Together, they’ll go undercover, gather intel, crack codes, and collect clues to solve the MBB’s toughest mysteries. But when they receive reports that unicorns are losing their magical powers, Miguel and Agent Cupcake will have to put their spy skills to the test to figure out why, even if it means going up against a mega-corporation like HOARD. Could someone be trying to steal magic to put unicorns out of business?
“As people who grew up on media like Sesame Street, Schoolhouse Rock, and Wishbone, we’ve always believed that curiosity, imagination, and whimsy should be part of learning,” said co-writer Mel Hilario.
“Agent Cupcake blends real world knowledge about secret messages, social engineering, spyware, and lock picking with a world where a mermaid can run a spy agency, a griffin can help you break into a safe, and unicorns use their magic to craft horrifyingly cute plushies,” said co-writer Lauren Davis.
“At the same time, it’s a very human story about learning how to fail, transforming passion into action, and figuring out where you fit in,” said artist Katie Longua.
Agent Cupcake arrives in November 2025.
