Well known visual artist Alexandra Grant is jumping into her first comic book series with the sci-fi action adventure book, Nano. Grant is writing the book with Matt Kindt (Mind MGMT), and Natacha Bustos (Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur) is handling the illustrations. The three-issue series from Dark Horse Comics will each be 54 pages long and feature a cover by Bustos.

Sana and her friend, Lukas, are operatives who work for an underground organization called The Order. They have been sent to Nano, a city that runs on prison labor, where Lukas is supposed to access Nanocorp’s secret research facility. Sana has the less exciting assignment of setting aside her skills to play his wife and be a middle school physical education teacher. When it’s clear that Lukas’ mission is not going well, Sana decides it is time to step in and save the day.

“Nano is a story that I’ve been daydreaming about for over 20 years – of two worlds clashing together – that of science and technology and that of magic and nature,” Grant said. “I can’t thank Matt [Kindt] enough for helping me tell the story, and for Natacha [Bustos] and her vivid drawing and color work in bringing Sana and the whole of Nano to life. It feels like a particularly poignant time for Sana to join the world – a heroine whose name means healing in Spanish – to lead a group of women, girls, and animals, to question and kick ass against a complicated tech world that keeps all people, especially men, imprisoned and very, very small.”

“This started as literal fever dream that Alexandra had and was sharing with me,” Kindt said. “It was so vivid and intricate I was desperate to see it come to life. It has such big and wild ideas that it seemed perfectly suited to comics and I’m honored to be a part of it.”

Nano #1 will be in comic shops on July 29, 2026.
