A Peaceful Town is Terrified By Horrific Creatures in Mare Hollow: The Shoemaker!

Posted on by

The Shoemaker leads a simple life, taking care of his cat, making shoes, and enjoying success with his business in his simple little home, in the town of “Mare Hollow.”  The only thing it seems he could possibly want for is love, but when a beautiful woman, Ida, visits his shop, he may have just found it. It would seem the bright and peaceful town could almost be a little slice of heaven, if only there wasn’t something about “Mare Hollow” that carried a forbidding darkness. After all, the terrors of ones own nightmares can only go ignored for so long.

Mare Hollow: The Shoemaker is from writer/artist/colorist Jake Tacito and being published by Scout Comics in October.

It’s Chunky Roger Rabbit With A Bad Temper Meets Indiana Jones! Mitch Is Coming This November!

Posted on by

A story about one furry guy on a quest to find his true origins, unintentionally stumbling into adventure, mystery, and a secret ongoing extraterrestrial conflict over Earth and its unsuspecting occupants.

Mitch mixes comedy, science fiction and urban fantasy, with character Mitch as the anthropomorphic lead, juxtaposed to the seemingly realistic world of the late 90s. It’s chunky Roger Rabbit with a bad temper meets Indiana Jones, set in a Sam Raimi’s looking cityscape. This mini-series combines several elements from native American mythology, as well as “star people” (or kachinas) folklore, retold in an ancient astronaut frame, with the legend of Shangri La, a mythical lost city, as the centerpiece of the story.

Mitch is written and features art by Maxim Simic, lettering by Josip Sršen, and edited by Andrea Lorenzo Molinari.

Earth’s Most Dangerous Hacker is Captured and Forced On A Suicide Mission into a Haunted House On Mars. A Haunting on Mars is coming soon!

Posted on by

A hot-headed hacker is forced onto a team of corpo scum tasked with retrieving a dangerous piece of tech from a haunted house. She must survive double-crossing teammates and the bizarre mysterious horrors within.

Mission at the Mansion:  High above the long dead Mars colony, atop Olympus Mons, looms Emmeric Deschutes’ mansion. Inside shadows twist, ancient automated defenses cycle, corpses rot and a priceless technology lays dormant, waiting for the corporate Echo Team to retrieve it.

An Unstable Team: The Deschutes corporation has assembled a team of experts to retrieve the tech–Cass is an anti-corporate terrorist hacker, forced on the mission against her will. Fozli is a junkie empath with a sixth sense that suffers PTSD from corpo wars. Paz is one of the most powerful psionics that’s ever lived, but her powers make her unstable. Ryker is a company man, in it for the paycheck, but quickly growing disillusioned with the Deschutes Corporation. Lastly, Morgan is their mission leader who knows more than he lets on. Together they combat the horrors on Mars while battling to keep their sanity.

A Cruel MacGuffin: The Core is a bottled singularity; the matrix in a box. Digital immortality. Inside it are the ghosts of the people who once lived on Mars. The Deschutes corporation’s secret plan is to retrieve the Core and place a price on afterlife. Little does the team know that the tech’s creator now resides inside the Core as a merciless, sadistic god a la I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream.

The Hacker’s Choice: After escaping the haunted mansion, the Hacker must return the tech to the corporation in exchange for her freedom back on Earth, or destroy it, dooming herself, but ending the suffering of her teammates, and other souls stuck inside the Core.

A Haunting on Mars is written and lettered by Zach Chapman, art by Ruairi Coleman, and colors by Steve Canon and Maja Opacic.
