Legends of CACK, Vol. 1: A Comic Debut That Roars Into the Scene

By CACK Ent.

Canon Anderson's Legends of CACK, Vol. 1, released July 27, 2025, is a confident introduction: energetic, character-driven, and full of action. Opening with a tense flash-forward that teases a world-ending threat, the book then follows Caden, Ayven, Camille, and Kara as teens embarking on a wild adventure through forests, zombie fortresses, stormy seas, deserts, icy heights, and floating islands.

Anderson's strengths are clear: lively, readable action sequences; inventive creature design; and a warm core of friendships that give every battle real emotional stakes. Anderson’s background—years spent drawing and refining his craft, combined with his time at Georgia Tech—shows in the disciplined pacing and the way every page pulls its weight narratively. Elemental powers are revealed gradually and satisfyingly-fire, water, electricity, earth, and more-each awakening framed to maximize both spectacle and character growth. The supporting players-Wes, Elijah, Zay, and Neoming-add depth and keep the plot moving without drowning the story in exposition.

Visually, the art channels anime and cartoon influences for clear, kinetic panels and strong comedic beats. Thematically, the book pulses with a humanitarian undercurrent-Anderson's "We'll build a better world together" sensibility-grounding the action in purpose. 

Who it's for: fans of ensemble adventures, anime-influenced comics, and character-first fantasy. Legends of CACK Vol. 1 is a heartfelt and irresistible enough that you'll want the next volume immediately. Pick this up—you won't regret it.
