THE FLORIDA HIPPOPOTAMUS COCAINE MASSACRE #1 ( Fred Kennedy / James Edward Clark)

Mad Cave Studios announced the February 2026 release of The Florida Hippopotamus Cocaine Massacre, a four-issue action-comedy mini-series by Fred Kennedy and James Edward Clark.

Disco Hippo Wonderland is the number one amusement park in Flamingo City. But few realize its corpulent owner, Jans M’jor Discau, is about to release the most potent drug ever created: Coke45! Fortunately for humanity, Agent Clarke Nebraska is on the case! She’ll bring down Discau come heck or high water! That was the plan, until her undercover agent, Tico Senecoza, was captured! And before she can rescue him, Miquel—Tico’s sexy loose cannon of an older brother beats her to the punch, storming into the park with bullets flying. Discau panics, dumping the Coke45 into the hippo enclosure and letting them loose on the park, before fleeing into Wonderland’s tunnel network! Nebraska’s plans are totally off the rails, and things get worse when a marijuana smoke-fueled hurricane drowns the park in torrential rain! Now it’s up to Nebraska and Miquel to create an uncomfortable truce to bring Discau down before he escapes!

“I am kind of shocked this book happened…not that I don’t think it’s good,” said Fred Kennedy in a press release from Mad Cave Studios. “I think it’s amazing! But more because we don’t get much silly these days. This book is silly, VERY silly. And I don’t think there’s ever been a greater need for silly.”

The Florida Hippopotamus Cocaine Massacre arrives on February 18, 2026.
