His Dream of the Skyland: Walled City Trilogy, Book 1
Anne Opotowsky & Aya Morton
Imperialist controlled Hong Kong, the British ruling classes and the
ambitious dynasty-influenced Chinese all create an amazing labyrinth
for His Dream of the Skyland: Book One in The Walled City trilogy.
The Chinese-colonial inspired illustrations create an utterly
distinct experience, immersing you in a world that is opulent, dark
and absorbing.
OXYGEN reaches a turning point where nothing will ever be the same
again for our main character. Also, a short personal comic from the
author's life.

The Deep: Here Be Dragons
Tom Taylor & James Brouwer
The adventures of a multicultural family of underwater explorers
begins here!
"While others look up to the stars, my family know that there are
an infinite number of things
that shine brightly in the darkness below.
Most of our world lies unexplored, unexplained. There are things
lurking in the seas that have only ever been spoken about in myth.
My family are explorers.
We have been for generations.
We explore
...The Deep."

Rombies #1
Tom Taylor, Skye Ogden & Mikiko Ponczeck
A father's sorrow.
An unbearable heartache.
His desperate action, though wrought of love, unwittingly unleashes
a dark force in the time of Emperor Titus.
A dark force that can be... harnessed?
Tying to real life historical events and crossing the paths of real
life historical figures, our story twists, turns and weaves its way
through theologies and empires, leaving no one unscathed, be they
citizen, soldier or Senator.

How do you trust someone when you no longer know yourself?
David Barrot, a retired Corrections Officer, moved to Grey Oaks
after the tragic death of his son, Cale.
With wife Lucy and daughter Jessie, the Barrot family bought a
farm on the outskirts of town and began their new life, putting
aside all the dark events of their past.
Unfortunately for them, the dark just won’t leave David alone.
The first sightings started months ago, igniting rumors of
disease and infection. Newspapers reported unusual lesions appearing
on livestock and stories of strange side effects spread quickly.
Perhaps it was inevitable that the people of Grey Oaks would be
next...

Be a ROMBIES extra!
Rome was big. Very big. Populating it in a comic is a huge task. So
Skye Ogden & Tom Taylor want real people to walk (and shamble) through the
streets of Ancient Rome. Post a photo of yourself as a zombie or citizen
for a chance for your likeness to appear in an upcoming issue.
