Hit Series Academy 27 Comes to Print

During the pandemic lockdown, readers discovered the adventures of the students of Academy 27, making it the most-read online series of all time from Arcbeatle Press. Now, the series is coming to print for the first time on March 26th, 2024.

Academy 27 is a slice-of-life series following the lives, loves, and dramas of a group of high school students – with a twist: they’re in school on a future Mars, renamed Gongen, where robot dogs, exchange students from other planets, and friendly cyborgs cause chaos and intrigue. On top of everything else, while they’re trying to do their best in their classes, war seems to be brewing between Gongen and Earth. “It's a heartfelt series that’s connected with a lot of readers. Whether it's Sang Mi’s struggles with mental health, Ryan’s attempt to make a fresh start in a new home, or Tsetseg’s journey with alienation, you’ll definitely feel something reading these stories,” editor James Wylder said.

Set in the same world as Arcbeatle Press and Decipher, Inc.’s WARSONG series, but requiring no prior knowledge, the Academy 27 series features stories from writers such as James Wylder (P.R.O.B.E), Dillon O’Hara (Cwej: Down the Middle), Leo Irons, Andrew Davis (10,000 Dawns), Callum Phillpott (Cyber-Hunt), Kimberley Chiu, Matthew Sychantha, and Aidan Mason (Blood and the Stars). “Readers have been asking for it to come to print, and we can’t wait for a whole new audience to discover these characters now that it is!” Arcbeatle Co-President James Hornby said.
