JOEY, MATTHEW & ANDREW LAWRENCE ANNOUNCE THE FORMING OF THE LAWRENCE BROTHERS DETECTIVE AGENCY
THE Z2 GRAPHIC NOVEL FOLLOWS THE LAWRENCE BROTHERS AS THEY USE THEIR 30+ YEARS OF ACTING EXPERIENCE TO SOLVE SOME OF THE WORLD’S MOST UNSOLVABLE CRIMES AND EVOLVE INTO THE WORLD‘S GREATEST DETECTIVES
KICKSTARTER LAUNCHING AT SAN DIEGO COMIC CON
Whether you know them from Blossom, Boy Meets World or Brotherly Love, The Lawrence Brothers have been pop-culture icons for 30+ years. Now they are teaming with The Berkowitz Brothers, Sean Von Gorman and Z2 to bring fans The Lawrence Brothers Detective Agency, an original graphic novel series, launching on Kickstarter, July 24th, 2025.
The Lawrence Brothers share "We are so excited to bring The Lawrence Brothers Detective Agency to life with the Berkowitz Brothers. You have never seen us like this before and we cannot wait for you to join us on this epic quest to uncover some wild mysteries. We are beyond excited to join the Kickstarter community and get our fans involved.”
Co-Created and written by The Lawrence Brothers (Joey, Matt and Andrew) and the Berkowitz Brothers (Josh Gad’s The Writer) with additional writing from Brian Yuran and art by Eisner-nominated Sean Von Gorman, of Comics, this darkly funny graphic novel reimagines former child stars Joey, Matthew, and Andrew Lawrence as reluctant heroes battling a conspiracy that’s warping the very fabric of fame. Set against the surreal backdrop of a corrupted Hollywood, The Lawrence Brothers Detective Agency follows the brothers as they survive a monster outbreak at Comic-Con, uncover a nostalgia prison run by AI, and infiltrate a secret cult rewriting entertainment history. Filled with sibling rivalry and faded celebrity, this is a satirical fever dream about identity, memory, and the absurdity of pop culture. Think BoJack Horseman meets Chinatown. Smart, surreal, and completely not what anyone expected… and that’s exactly the point.
“We’re thrilled to team up with the Lawrence Brothers to take on monsters, fans, and fame gone haywire,” add Ben and Max Berkowitz, co-creators and co-writers of The Lawrence Brothers Detective Agency and the award-winning comic The Writer. “It’s nostalgic, out there, and the kind of gloriously amazing story we’ve been dying to tell.”
To commemorate this event with their fans, The Lawrence Brothers are launching their first-ever Kickstarter Campaign on July 24th, 2025, coinciding with their appearance at the Z2 Booth (#1529) at San Diego Comic Con. Fans will be able to support the Brothers and their burgeoning Detective Agency with tiers that have access to a series of exclusive book covers, collector’s cards, & original art. One lucky fan can even bid on a chance to be named as the 4th Official Lawrence Brother!
Be sure to pre-sign up at 10am EST on June 24th, 2025 for all Kickstarter details and this will become open to the public at 9am PST on Thursday, July 24th, 2025 and run through August 24th, 2025.

Whether you know them from Blossom, Boy Meets World or Brotherly Love, The Lawrence Brothers have been pop-culture icons for 30+ years. Now they are teaming with The Berkowitz Brothers, Sean Von Gorman and Z2 to bring fans The Lawrence Brothers Detective Agency, an original graphic novel series, launching on Kickstarter, July 24th, 2025.
The Lawrence Brothers share "We are so excited to bring The Lawrence Brothers Detective Agency to life with the Berkowitz Brothers. You have never seen us like this before and we cannot wait for you to join us on this epic quest to uncover some wild mysteries. We are beyond excited to join the Kickstarter community and get our fans involved.”
Co-Created and written by The Lawrence Brothers (Joey, Matt and Andrew) and the Berkowitz Brothers (Josh Gad’s The Writer) with additional writing from Brian Yuran and art by Eisner-nominated Sean Von Gorman, of Comics, this darkly funny graphic novel reimagines former child stars Joey, Matthew, and Andrew Lawrence as reluctant heroes battling a conspiracy that’s warping the very fabric of fame. Set against the surreal backdrop of a corrupted Hollywood, The Lawrence Brothers Detective Agency follows the brothers as they survive a monster outbreak at Comic-Con, uncover a nostalgia prison run by AI, and infiltrate a secret cult rewriting entertainment history. Filled with sibling rivalry and faded celebrity, this is a satirical fever dream about identity, memory, and the absurdity of pop culture. Think BoJack Horseman meets Chinatown. Smart, surreal, and completely not what anyone expected… and that’s exactly the point.
“We’re thrilled to team up with the Lawrence Brothers to take on monsters, fans, and fame gone haywire,” add Ben and Max Berkowitz, co-creators and co-writers of The Lawrence Brothers Detective Agency and the award-winning comic The Writer. “It’s nostalgic, out there, and the kind of gloriously amazing story we’ve been dying to tell.”
To commemorate this event with their fans, The Lawrence Brothers are launching their first-ever Kickstarter Campaign on July 24th, 2025, coinciding with their appearance at the Z2 Booth (#1529) at San Diego Comic Con. Fans will be able to support the Brothers and their burgeoning Detective Agency with tiers that have access to a series of exclusive book covers, collector’s cards, & original art. One lucky fan can even bid on a chance to be named as the 4th Official Lawrence Brother!
Be sure to pre-sign up at 10am EST on June 24th, 2025 for all Kickstarter details and this will become open to the public at 9am PST on Thursday, July 24th, 2025 and run through August 24th, 2025.

The Lawrence Brothers A truly legendary trio, Joey, Matthew, and Andrew Lawrence grew up on camera, starring in classics like Gimme a Break!, Blossom, Mrs. Doubtfire, Boy Meets World, and their own sitcom Brotherly Love. They recently reunited on screen for the indie holiday hit Mistletoe Mixup and its overwhelmingly popular sequel. They currently co-host the hit Brotherly Love Podcast, a mix of hilarious confessions, behind-the-scenes stories, and unfiltered takes on growing up famous. Whether riffing on fame, family, or the weirdness of Hollywood, the Lawrences are doing what they’ve always done best: keeping it real, keeping it funny, and doing it together.

In partnership with the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund (CBLDF), Oni Press – the multiple Eisner and Harvey Award-winning publisher of groundbreaking comics and graphic novels since 1997– and global entertainment powerhouse The Nacelle Company are proud to announce the return of the CBLDF’s annual San Diego Comic-Con Welcome Party at The Westgate Hotel on Thursday, July 24th from 8 PM to 12 MIDNIGHT PT.
Joining Oni Press and The Nacelle Company – now in their second year as flagship co-sponsors for San Diego’s premier comic industry party and fundraiser – are an impressive array of co-sponsors from the worlds of comic books, graphic novels, toys, games, collectibles, and more, including Mad Cave Studios, Kickstarter, Global Comix, and Raremarq.
Timed to celebrate the release of this summer’s debut of the latest publishing collaboration between Oni Press and The Nacelle Company in the pages of BIKER MICE FROM MARS #1 – the first-ever ongoing series for the globally beloved animation and toy property from creators Melissa Flores and Daniel Geté, in stores now – this year’s sponsorship of the long-running, flagship comics industry party at San Diego Comic-Con precedes even more seismic news for Nacelle’s fan-favorite properties across comics, toys, and television, including two new seasons of The Toys That Made Us, the release of this September’s Wild West C.O.W.–Boys of Moo Mesa comic series from creators Matt Hotson and Juan Gedeon, and the upcoming Biker Mice from Mars animated series, produced in partnership with Ryan Reynolds and Maximum Effort.
This year’s CBLDF will have Mad Cave Studios bringing some serious horsepower to the celebration with the highly anticipated return of SPEED RACER. Helmed by acclaimed writer David Pepose and artist Davide Tinto, Mad Cave’s new SPEED RACER comic series launches this summer with a bold, action-packed take on the iconic franchise. Throughout SDCC, Mad Cave will celebrate SPEED RACER with an exclusive convention variant by Michael Cho, limited-edition SPEED RACER bandanas, creator signings at Booth #2806, and sneak peeks at two additional upcoming series expanding the SPEED RACER universe: TALES FROM THE ROAD and RACER X. Together, these standout projects set the stage for an unforgettable celebration of comics and creative storytelling!
Together, this year’s impressive roster of sponsors will reach be generously donating an array of limited-edition SDCC collectibles and promotional giveaways for CBLDF Welcome Party gift bags – free to the first 50 attendees who make a donation of $25 or more to benefit the CBLDF at the door – with items, including randomly inserted, highly sought-after BIKER MICE FROM MARS #1 variant covers by artists Simon Bisley, Kano, Karl Kerschl, and Dustin Weaver from Oni Press; a limited-edition Speed Racer bandana and a signed copy of Speed Racer #0 from Mad Cave Studios; a brand new zine from Kickstarter, featuring expert crowdfunding tips from creators like Charlie Stickney, Kat Calamia, Spike Trotman, Mira Ong Chua, and more; as well as more graphic novel and collectibles yet-to-be revealed.
The evening's festivities will also feature the return of the CBLDF's annual San Diego Comic-Con Silent Auction, featuring comic art and other collectibles donated by a wide array of supporting contributors from across the worlds of comics and entertainment, including Heroic Signatures, Mad Cave Studios, The Nacelle Company, Oni Press, and more.
“Censorship is growing faster than ever in the U.S., but with the help of our sponsors, members, and the entire comics community, the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund is moving even faster to protect free expression through the comic arts,” said Jeff Trexler, Interim Director of the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund. Now let’s celebrate our victories and fuel up for the future at the annual CBLDF San Diego Comic-Con Welcome Party!”
“We’re thrilled to partner with Oni Press to bring Biker Mice from Mars from the screen to the page—just in time for an event as iconic and influential as San Diego Comic-Con,” said Brian Volk-Weiss, CEO of The Nacelle Company. “Celebrating this fan-favorite franchise with the CBLDF and its community marks the start of an exciting journey to introduce this beloved series to new audiences.”
“We’re proud to co-present this year’s CBLDF Welcome Party alongside Oni Press to support the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund’s vital mission to uplift and protect the rights of the comics community,” said Mad Cave’s VP of Marketing Alison Pond. Collaborating on this event has been a true joy, as we share the same goal: to tell incredible stories, celebrate the comics medium, and support the people behind them—at the end of the day, we’re stronger together.”
“We’re happy to continue supporting the CBLDF Welcome Party this year,” said Sam Kusek, Kickstarter’s Senior Outreach Lead for Comics. “The CBLDF’s advocacy helps more comic stories come to life by protecting the creators behind them. It goes without saying that, at Kickstarter, we share that same commitment to empowering creators. The brand-new zine we're launching at the party is one way we're continuing to do our part. Our new "Guide to Comics" zine is designed for comic creators and packed with advice from me and a range of Kickstarter creators who know exactly what it takes to run a successful campaign”
“We’re proud to sponsor this year’s CBDLF San Diego Comic-Con Welcome Party,” said Chris Tung, Founder of Raremarq. “The work CBDLF does to protect the First Amendment rights of the comics community is vital, and we’re honored to celebrate their ongoing impact. We look forward to supporting their mission and leveraging our marketplace to help raise funds for their future efforts.”
"Artistic expression is the lifeblood of comics, and protecting it is essential to the medium's future. We're honored to support the CBLDF and their tireless efforts to defend the rights of creators and readers alike," said Juuso Myllyrinne, Chief Marketing Officer at GlobalComix. "This partnership is about more than celebration - it's about solidarity. The CBLDF's work safeguards the heart of our industry, and we're committed to advancing their mission at one of comics' most iconic events."
Admission to the event is free for CBLDF members and a $25 donation for the general public at the door to support the CBLDF’s ongoing work in protecting free speech and creative expression. Click here for tickets and more details. (A SDCC badge is NOT required to attend.) You can find the CBLDF at booth #1629, Oni Press at Booth #1829, Nacelle at Booth 2547, and Mad Cave at Booth #2806.
Oni Press's support of the CBLDF's signature San Diego event follows years of unprecedented legal challenges to graphic novels and other forms of comic art that have now spread through more than a dozen states, including Maia Kobabe's award-winning graphic memoir, Gender Queer, which has been placed at the epicenter of many of these challenges at the state and was successfully defended by the CBLDF and ruled to be unconstitutional in 2022. Oni Press is proud to reciprocate the CBLDF's support at this critical time in the history of free speech for the comics medium. The company is currently raising funds for the CBLDF and other anti-censorship organizations with its ongoing “Fight Censorship, Read Comics!” advocacy campaign, which is currently offering a slate of exclusive pre-order merchandise designed by Kobabe through August 20th.
