Our Goblins! series winds down to a close with two more glorious stories of goblin lore! In “The Ballad of Ak” we follow the rapid rise and fall of Ak, a chief’s assistant who is bullied and disrespected by the rest of his tribe. And in “Legendary”, the misadventures of Muttonchomp and his goblin dog are proclaimed by the campfire. This is a tale of a goblin’s meteoric rise to infamy alongside his “faithful” companion!

Stalwart is the world’s only superhero and his arch-nemesis, Master Mayhem, the only super-villain. What neither knows, however, is that they are the same man- two halves of a split personality. But their devious sidekicks know the truth – and have made millions exploiting the situation.

The system appears flawless… until a brash new super heroine unexpectedly arrives on the scene and publically challenges the arrogant Stalwart to a not-so-friendly wager regarding Master Mayhem’s defeat. With the sidekicks’ elaborate con on the brink of total collapse, will anyone survive?

Splitsville is the first book to the released by Arena Comics.
Splitsville will be published in three issues, with each installment being a high-end hard cover filled with behind the scenes extras and concept sketches.
