He was celebrating the new book ahead of one of the team’s final games at the Oakland Coliseum. “It feels good for them to come out and support the Roots, too, so we don’t want to take away from that,” Lynch said about the fans who came out. “But for this first graphic novel, it feels good. It’s a blessing.” The book’s title, “Beast Mode 510,” is inspired by Lynch’s brand and the city of Oakland. His team approached AWA Studios about making the book.

In the book, Lynch is a freelance detective who solves problems, for free, that no one else will touch. He spent the afternoon talking about the book and connecting with fans of all ages. The book comes out Oct. 6, 2026. ...read more read less
