Hey everyone—fans of Roman Matthews’ wild adventures, comic enthusiasts diving into the expanding universe, fellow sci-fi lovers, and all you amazing supporters who’ve been with me since Descent into the Void launched…

Happy New Year 2026!

As we blast off into this new year, I want to take a moment to thank each and every one of you. Your enthusiasm, messages, reviews, and energy at conventions have fueled this journey more than any gravity-bending vitalerium crystal ever could. Whether you’ve been theorizing about the Coalition’s conspiracies, collecting the merch, or just discovering the series for the first time—you’re the reason this universe keeps growing.

2026 is shaping up to be an epic year for Vitalerium, and I can’t wait to share it with you in person and through new stories.

First off, I’ll be hitting the convention circuit hard—tons of appearances across the country! Kicking things off strong with one of the biggest: MegaCon Orlando, March 19-22. If you’re in Florida (or anywhere nearby), come find me at the booth for signings, chats about the lore, exclusive merch, and maybe a few surprises. It’s going to be massive—hope to see a sea of Vitalerium fans there!

And speaking of expansions… get ready for some major releases this year:

• Episodes 4-6 of the Vitalerium comic series are dropping in 2026. The art and storytelling are leveling up, diving deeper into side stories, new characters, and hints at the bigger saga. If you’ve been loving the first issues, these are going to blow you away.
• The one you’ve all been waiting for: Book 2 (the next novel) in the Vitalerium series is finally coming! Roman’s story continues with even higher stakes, new worlds, and twists that have been brewing since Book 1. I won’t spoil anything, but let’s just say the void gets a lot darker… and more thrilling.

Here’s to a year full of adventure and discovery. Thank you for making 2025 incredible. Let’s make 2026 legendary.

Clear skies and open voids,
Nicholas Keating Casbarro
Creator of the Vitalerium Series
