"Like hell she makes two-fifty on a ninety grade! One-eighty tops when I ditch my gunner! Fraudulent activities, Falhurth! I'm reporting you to industrial standards!"
"Red indicator blinking at you? Top right of the dash?"
"What 'red'- well, yeah. What about it?"
"Got the mother in park, mister."

A whole lot of thanks for all the astoundingly positive feedback so far, everyone!

We're aiming for a release date for the 1st issue of 13 in the next couple of months. Gods will be published on old school paper and ink by our new imprint Cannon Comics, its downloadable version to be made available a week later. Details will be posted here and at other creator-friendly sites very soon, along with detailed story synopses.

Until then, have at some appetizer info on some of our upcoming titles...



set in the fantasy world of Aldar, Gods follows the fugitive remains of a near-defunct government supersoldier program facing the onslaught of their successors, the Overlords- dark worshippers of a titan weaponized mountain long hidden from human perception. I will be sole writer-artist on this one. Gods promises some truly memorable characters ranging from human to far from it- and a host of psychological terrors sure to keep you up nights!

Also on the cards is Cannon Comics' anthology title The Mag. It features introductory Gods material and other stories created and penned by myself, amazing long-time writing collaborator John O' Neil of the mindblowing horror novels Sarcophagus and Endgame, and hair-raising newcomer Bradley Hernes, of bravura sci-fi novels Thanatonia and The Useless Eaters.

Hernes will be also be contributing to writing chores for some of the first of The Mag's other titles out of the gate, including:

Future-car thriller Road Raiders- where all homes are now ever-roaming advanced mobile weapons platforms harboring the only means of forage- a pantheon of deadly attack vehicles that have all-but replaced the world's conventional vehicles.



Prison island-based thriller Jackhammer's Warheads tells of a highly isolated detention facility for lives deemed to superfluous to the world at large by the most successful ever device- an infallible translator implant revealing the true intentions of all- .

Supposedly framed for crimes too numerous and terrible to mention, Sgt Jackson 'Jackhammer' Colton is determined to turn his desolated fellow Grensham Islanders into a fighting force capable of taking down the chip's mysterious creators.

But in a world where the Gauger purportedly provides much sought security and risk-annulment in contrast to purportedly little curtailment of civil freedoms, is Colton is crying wolf?

Ten years ago New York detective Ed Trayson turned vigilante and then some when his failed intervention to save a bystander in a gangland shootout lands him with a murder rap thanks to crooked partner Janson Maddock, now Police Commissioner.

Remaining at large thanks only to the clandestine efforts of single-mom rogue reporter Lisa Harne and pill-popping police chief curmudgeon Alvin Slate, can Trayson stay alive long enough to bring down Maddock and spare the city an impending mob meltdown?

Deep in the cellars of the Earth lies the lost city of Tarn, its beating heart a temple of scrolls asserting that in the beginning there was indeed the word, sparked from the acquisition of fire, the moment that ignited the ascent from beast to man.

Yet while the world now teems with language and the infinitude of ways it can lay him low or raise his game, there endures the mother tongue that lies behind all others…

…and it is the hidden war to master its workings from which the known conflicts of the world arise.

A war that High Mage Cyran Croll and his adepts cannot afford to lose, though with the weakening of the collective psychode of the world above, the Fallen Ones have now seen through the Paradox Shield of incontrovertible lies long containing their own hordes…

…and are now in no doubt where to head once the walls of Tarn have been taken.

What do certain world leaders experience that ages them forty years in ten? What puts that dead-eyed fake smile on the face of princesses we presume have it all? How come that manufactured pop act who were everywhere five minutes ago have vanished off the face of the earth?

Meet the Alpha Wave. Contractors to the secret government (what, you think they went and hung up their aprons just because you discovered girls?), they are the dimension-storming builders of palatial bunkers for rapacious royals, deranged politicos, neo-nazi eugenicists and flavor of the week celebrities, all in the name of preserving the planet’s self-proclaimed best and brightest when the proverbial hits the fan.

Or so our betters are led to believe, for in the world beyond the world lie forces who, in return for steering clear of mankind, exact their toll in souls the Wave assure them are near-catastrophic losses to the Earth at large.

You wanted to know.

Now you know.
