Description
When Oakland calls, Beast Mode answers.
Inspired by NFL legend and cultural icon Marshawn Lynch, Beast Mode 510 is an action-packed graphic novel set in the heart of the 510. Blending explosive action, sharp satire, and West Coast swagger, this is Beast Mode like you’ve never seen him before.
From Super Bowl champion Marshawn Lynch comes a bold new graphic novel rooted in Oakland, loyalty, and community.
Beast Mode 510 transforms the larger-than-life “Beast Mode” mentality into a mythic, street-level hero. In this world, Beast Mode is Oakland’s legendary fixer — a freelance sleuth who handles the problems no one else will touch. No contracts. No invoices. Just results.
What begins as a surprise birthday celebration for his mother spirals into a globe-spanning conspiracy involving missing young women, Silicon Valley corruption, Yakuza assassins, reptilian billionaires, and a million-dollar bounty on his head.
Written by NAACP Image Award–nominated author Sheldon Allen and brought to life by Eisner Hall of Fame artist Denys Cowan, with inks by Dexter Vines and colors by Chris Sotomayor, Beast Mode 510 delivers cinematic action, biting humor, and unapologetic cultural energy.
Oakland isn’t just the backdrop. It’s the heartbeat.
This is more than a graphic novel. It’s a love letter to The Town.
