It all comes down to this for Mad Cave Studios' take on The Phantom! Spiraling out of events from The Phantom 5-issue series and the subsequent The Phantom vs. The Red Dragons #1 one-shot, The Phantom vs. The Singh Brotherhood #1 sees the culmination of several story lines weave into one final showdown. This is arguably the most action-packed issue in Mad Cave Studios' tenure, and as of the moment, it's the last of the announced The Phantom titles. Writer Ray Fawkes and Artist Russell Olson return, with colors by Juancho! Velez and inks by Taylor Esposito. Cover artist Mark Spears delivers a colorful, close-up cover of Asif Singh gripping The Phantom in a stranglehold on the cover. Watch our video review of the issue below! Credits for the issue are: Title: The Phantom vs. The Singh Brotherhood #1 Writer: Ray Fawkes Artist: Russell Olson Colorist: Juancho! Velez Letterer: Taylor Esposito Editor: Sarah Brunstad Main Cover: Mark Spears Variant Cover: Freddie Williams II & Andrew Dalhouse Synopsis: THE PHANTOM WALKS. EVIL DIES. It's all come down to this—The Phantom vs. Asif Singh and his Brotherhood! After the Brotherhood's failed attack on Bangalla, Singh was all set to rot in prison. But concrete walls cannot stop the man who controls one of the most notorious criminal enterprises in the world. Only The Phantom can. Or this time, he might just die trying. The Phantom vs. The Singh Brotherhood #1 cover by Mark Spears Is this the end of Mad Cave Studios The Phantom series? We don't know. This is the last of the three one-shots Mad Cave Studios announced earlier this year, and we haven't heard whether there will be more books or not. We certainly hope so! Is Asif Singh an original character? While The Singh Brotherhood is a timeless foe of The Phantom, Asif Singh as the organization's leader is original to this series. With how this issue plays out, and how Asif is characterized, it's likely a way to incorporate classic enemies without overlapping with the lore of classic Singh members. The conclusion of this issue suggests that perhaps we may see another member of the brotherhood take charge, should this series continue. Does Princess Sin appear again? No, sadly. While The Phantom vs. The Red Dragons #1 had an open-ended conclusion, we don't see Princess Sin again. In her place, we do see several members of the Red Dragons incarcerated alongside members of the Singh Brotherhood. Question for the phans: What did you make of Asif's about-turn? Let us know by commenting below this article, on our YouTube, or by dropping us a line. We'd love to hear your thoughts!

Malmö is the third-largest city in Sweden, after Stockholm and Gothenburg, and the seventh-largest city in the Nordic region. Located on the Öresund Strait on the southwestern coast of Sweden. What makes Malmö special from a Phantom perspective is that it is the location of the Swedish branch of Egmont and now the location of the latest adventure. In issue 18-19/2026, the Phantom visits the city in two of the stories included in the magazine. This magazine is 100 pages in full colour and features three Phantom stories: "Spionernas hamn" ("Harbour of Spies") by Mats Kejonen and Janusz Ordon "Pestsmittad!" ("Plague Infected") by Norman Worker and Jaime Vallvé "Stackars Jimmy" ("Poor Jimmy") - A Phantom parody by Jimmy Wallin This special comic is now out in shops from August 19, 2026 and a little earlier for subscribers. As this is a special comic, we are going to explore the contents of the comic. The cover is beautifully drawn by Hernik Salhstrom and features a bunch of happy, celebrating soccer fans of the local football club who feature 'sky blue' as their traditional colours. The Phantom is standing on the Arbetets ära (The Glory of Labor) which is a famous 1929 bronze and granite sculpture by Axel Ebbe located on Möllevångstorget in Malmö, Sweden. It depicts naked workers lifting a heavy stone block embossed with an old industrial skyline, symbolizing labor history and local working-class struggle. "Spionernas hamn" ("Harbour of Spies") by Mats Kejonen and Janusz Ordon In this story, the 20th Phantom must help a friend who has been caught up in some political intrigue. The year is 1953, with Malmö being famous for being a hub of spies during the Cold War between the world's superpowers. It was also at the time the home of Ingmar Bergman, who was a Swedish film and theater director and screenwriter. He is considered one of the greatest and most important filmmakers in the history of cinema, most notably as a prominent figure of both the European film industry and Swedish cinema. The scriptwriter behind the Malmö adventure, Mats Kejonen, lives and was educated in the city. I am sure a majority of the Fantomen Swedish readers will love to see the Phantom back visiting their country. However, for the non-Swedish readers, will the story still hold up for those who have no affinity to the country or city, or will it feel forced? We would love to hear your thoughts. The story is drawn by Janusz Ordon, who is a very popular interior artist for Swedish but also Australian readers who have read his stories in the Frew comic. "Stackars Jimmy" ("Poor Jimmy") - A Phantom parody by Jimmy Wallin "Poor Jimmy" ("Stackas Jimmy" in Swedish) is a Swedish comedy strip by Jimmy Wallin. It stars a fictionalized version of Jimmy Wallin himself and is also set in Malmö, where he also lives. In this one-page story, he assists The Phantom with an assignment. I am surprised Frew does not use the same marketing trick of having the Phantom visit Australia to coincide with their comic conventions. Shakti Comics could also do the same again with the comic conventions they attend throughout India. Surely even casual fans would buy an extra comic if it features a hero fighting crime in their city. "Pestsmittad!" ("Plague Infected") by Norman Worker and Jaime Vallvé It may surprise some readers, but "Pestsmittad!" ("Plague Infected") by Norman Worker and Jaime Vallvé has never been published outside of Scandinavia. It was first published in Fantomen 24/1984 and last published in 2001 in the Norwegian Kronike series. This story refers to what happened in the 1977 "Mystery in Rome" story by Ulf Granberg and Jaime Vallvé as well as the 1998 story "The Ring of Death, Part 2" by Ulf Granberg and Kari Leppänen. On his way home from England in 1633, The Phantom and Suran visit Italy, where he meets Catherine Galilei, niece of the astronomer Galileo Galilei. The fourth Phantom is an interesting Phantom, with the Team Fantomen stories portraying him as probably the only person in the lineage as someone who struggled with the calling of the generational legacy. We are still after a comic reviewer for the Fantomen comics for our platform. If this interests you, please contact us.
