Mad Cave Studios announced the June 2025 release of Bytchcraft, a tale of modern witchcraft colliding with biblical mythology.
Created by the late Aaron Reese, Bytchcraft is a love letter to queer friendship, Black Magick, and the found families that sustain us. A seasoned digital storyteller, Reese left an indelible mark on the industry, having worked with brands like Disney, Marvel, and DC Comics.
The book is illustrated by Lema Carril.
“On a warm summer evening, Aaron walked into my coffee shop, and from the moment I took their order—a chai latte with oat milk—our lives became entwined. Intrigued by their tattoos of Storm and Jean Grey, I struck up a conversation and learned he was writing a comic about three queer, Black wytches, inspired by The Lost Boys, Heathers, and The Craft—films that meant the world to me. That chance encounter changed my life, leading to over six years together, building a kingdom in Astoria through love and resilience. Over time, I witnessed every evolution of Bytchcraft, from sketches to Webtoon to its home at Mad Cave Studios, where Aaron’s vision was embraced. He poured their soul into this story, creating something he had never seen in comics—one that reflected their magic and spirit. Aaron was, and always will be, the most remarkable person I’ve known, making those around them better versions of themselves. As you read these pages, I hope you feel their passion, the power of friendship, and the magic within yourself. May Athena guide us all.” —Joshua Gonzalez
Bytchcraft #1 is set to arrive on June 18, 2025.
