Fixation #1

(W) Amy Chase (A) Savanna Mayer

When superfan Taylor Van Owens wins a contest to stay in the legendary Mallard house—the most iconic filming location for the hit vampire book turned movie Blood Mountain—she and her best friend Karrah arrive in Vail expecting to sink their fangs into a weekend straight from a fangirl’s dream. The cast has reunited for a tenth-anniversary celebration, devotees have descended on the small town, and nostalgia hangs thick in the air.

But shortly before their arrival, a young woman is found dead inside the Mallard house. The death is quickly brushed off as an unstable fan taking her fantasies too far, but rumors swirl as the police quietly open a murder investigation. With cameras rolling and ravenous Blood Mountain buffs to appease, production works overtime to keep the story from leaking, insisting the fandom is “one big family,” but unease spreads through the town. Resentful locals, jealous superfans, sensitive actors, and desperate producers overwhelm Taylor as she moves in a haze through meet-and-greets, vigils, and book signings. Every interaction feels loaded. Every corner holds a potential threat. Every vampire has a taste for blood.

And the killer isn’t finished. They’ll stain the town red to ensure they go down in Blood Mountain history. This isn’t just a random act of violence—it’s a crime of passion a decade in the making.

Blending true-crime tension with razor-sharp commentary on fandom and toxic addictions, Fixation is a chilling mystery in which everyone has a motive and the least threatening person in the room may actually be the most dangerous of all.

Abuzz

(W) Amy Chase (A) Stelladia
(C) Ellie Wright (L) Taylor Esposito

Inspired by Shakespeare’s beloved romcom Much Ado About Nothing with a modern queer twist, Abuzz tells the story of teenage couples at Messina High falling in and out of love thanks to verbal spars, idle gossip, and jealous schemers.

Ben and Beatriz, former friends, can’t stop fighting on their way to senior graduation, threatening to tank college applications and years of hard work. Meanwhile, Hero and Claudio are new on campus, hoping to find their footing as new romance blossoms. Together with friends from the school clubs and sports teams, they have to find a way to get the feuding seniors to stop everyone from picking sides in their conflict before it tears the school apart.

Meanwhile, scorned juniors DJ, Connie, and Roach see the chaos as their perfect opportunity to completely topple the social pyramid and position themselves to rule the school. School Principal Leo is stuck between her duty as Hero’s parent and her duty as a leader to the buzzing student body while the bumbling academic counsellor Dogberry and her student assistant Vergil verbosely stumble their way through upholding the integrity and safety of the school halls.

Sparks and stingers will fly in Abuzz, a modern queer reimagining of Shakespeare’s classic romantic comedy

Posted on by

There’s still time to get caught up in “the buzz” before Abuzz hits shelves this November from Maverick, the YA imprint of Mad Cave Studios!

Written by Amy Chase with art by Stelladia, colors by Ellie Wright, and lettering by Taylor Esposito, this spirited young-adult graphic novel reimagines Much Ado About Nothing through an inclusive, contemporary lens—where high-school drama and heart collide.

Shakespeare’s beloved romcom Much Ado About Nothing gets a modern update with an LGBTQ cast and the same classic miscommunications! Feuding senior students Ben and Beatriz drag half of Messina High into their never-ending arguments, making things difficult as budding sweethearts Hero and Claudio are asked to pick sides in the battle. All the while, the bad kids, led by outcast DJ, are plotting to capitalize on the chaos and rule the school for themselves. With college letters and prom night on the horizon, will these students find their happy ending or feel the sting of total rejection?

Abuzz drops into bookstores on November 18, 2025, and in comic shops on November 19, 2025.

Won’t Back Down brings together dozens of comic creators to champion an individual’s right to choose

Posted on by

In 1973, the Supreme Court gave women the right to make decisions over the care of their own bodies. A mere fifty years later, a rogue Supreme Court has taken that right away. Today, over 32 states have banned or severely restricted abortion.

We’re fighting back as best we can, with pens and brushes, paper and ink, and have produced a pro-choice anthology: Won’t Back Down, featuring the work of over 30 artists, writers, inkers, and colorists, and profits are being given to Planned Parenthood.

With Won’t Back Down, Trina Robbins has created an important anthology that celebrates women who fight for justice – for anyone interested in women’s rights, free speech, or simply great comics.

In addition to Robbins, contributors to the anthology include Lee Marrs, Alison Sampson, Steve Leialoha, Ken Steacy, Barbara Randall Kesel, Yanick Paquette, Signe Wilkinson, Christopher Golden, Marguerite Sauvage, Gene Ha, Carrie Tupper, Todd Klein, Twyla Dawn Weixl, Sabrina Jones, Stephanie Cooke, Leeann Hamilton, Jennifer Camper, Sydney Heifler, Kate Charlesworth, Dave McCaig, Deanna Soukiasian, Grace Gordon, Joelle Barreto, Isabelle Struble, Grace Desmarais, Tony Parker, Bridgit Connell, Michelle Madsen, Janice Chiang, Jessica Balboni, Perl Barry, Jennifer Camper, Eve Furchgott, Sharon Rudahl, Dee Cunniffe, Sayra Begum, Sofie Dodgson, Robert Triptow, Lisa Sharkey, Wesley Wong, Dominike “Domo” Stanton, Tom Orzechowski, Emily Bowen Cohen, Amy Chase, Dani Coleman, and Rori!
