Maverick Drops
THE FULL SCOOP COLLECTION
Truth Is a Moving Target & the Story Is Bigger Than Anyone Expected!
This summer, Mad Cave Studios brings THE FULL SCOOP COLLECTION to the Maverick line, collecting all four volumes of Scoop in one definitive edition.
Written by award-winning writer Richard Ashley Hamilton (How to Train Your Dragon: Race to the Edge, Tales of Arcadia), with art by Pablo Andrés (Starfall), colors by Simon Robins and Rebecca Good, and letters by Dave Lanphear and Justin Birch, this 400+ page YA graphic novel follows Sophie’s search for the truth, grounded by artwork that keeps the series’ stranger turns in focus.
Sophie Cooper is the newest intern at the WMIA 7 news station–a struggling station based in Miami, Florida–and she’s determined to use access to the newsroom’s resources to prove her father has been framed for embezzlement. But investigating her father’s case soon uncovers some unsettling things about her hometown, like a flying saucer crashed in the Everglades, a chupacabra running wild, a digital doppelgänger intent on ruining what’s left of Sophie’s social life, and a bunker, hidden since the 1960s, that seems to be at odds with time itself… Sophie will have to rely on all her truth-seeking skills to solve these mysteries!
Praise for SCOOP
“An entertaining, heart-pounding adventure with a strong female lead.” —Kirkus Reviews
“Part Nancy Drew, part All the President’s Men, and part Buffy, SCOOP is a smart, fun, and socially-aware series…a love letter to journalism and Gen Z curiosity.” —Word Balloon
For Richard Ashley Hamilton, Scoop has always been personal:
“While I’m incredibly thankful for the recent success we’ve had with Leo Da Vinci: Renaissance Kid, my publishing relationship with Mad Cave actually began with Scoop—which is fitting, since Sophie Cooper and her sci-fi mysteries are tied to my own beginnings. From my days as a CNN intern covering the infamous Versace murder to now being the dad of two teens starting their own internships, I feel like I’ve grown and changed alongside these characters, who are now influencing my life. Scoop represents everything I hold dear: Family, facing the unknown, an unending search for the truth, and, of course, Hall & Oates! So it’s deeply meaningful to know readers can experience every Scoop story in a single collected edition, all wrapped in a stunning new cover by my other favorite duo, Pablo Andrés and Simon Robins—talk about good news!”
The Full Scoop Collection runs on the friction between investigative journalism and the unexplained, where every answer reveals something more unstable—and far more dangerous—to follow!
The complete series arrives in one expansive paperback edition (ISBN: 9781545827307 | $29.99) on July 28, 2026. Preorder today at your local comic shop, bookstore, or from https://maverickgraphicnovels.com/.
