Arcadia #4 really shifts the focus of the series as a new direction debuts

Posted on by Leave a comment

There’s nothing Halu has wanted more than to spend the rest of his life with Fix in blissful romance. But over time, their shiny love is starting to tarnish under the strain of everyday life. Especially compared to the picture- perfect narrative Halu can view through Weedy’s Neuronaten device.

Enter Rouke. A hard-living drifter offering Halu the opportunity for adventure. Halu is eager to join the brigand on the road, but Fix isn’t sure the price of those thrills won’t be too high.

Arcadia #3 delivers a bit of an emotional punch as it continues to expand its world

Posted on by

Halu has become an expert scavenger, roaming the abandoned cities in search of Uberpills to power Weedy’s experiments and help Fix keep her vehicles running. Each scavenge is its own adventure, with the constant threat of ferals attacking. The bigger the danger the bigger the spoils, however, as a terrible attack leads him to a treasure trove. But can he get back to Weedy in time to ensure the future the old man dreams of?

Arcadia #2 continues to build an intriguing world while poking at emotions

Posted on by

Life is looking good for young Halu. His relationship with Fix is growing, and he’s starting to get the hang of being a scavenger. On his latest hunt, he encounters a group of violent ferals, but he also uncovers treasure–an uberpill! What will he do with such a coveted item? Meanwhile, Halu’s mentor, Weedy, races against time to finish his secret project–a physical record of his memories–before his body fails him.

Arcadia #1 is some solid sci-fi that slowly teases the future to come

Posted on by

In a future where humanity has vanished, a new form of life rises from the ruins: the Serants, artificial beings born from mysterious technological chrysalises known as Superdragons. Each one carries a Pearl, a biotechnological core that holds their consciousness, their memories…their soul.

Halu is a Serant born late, emerging from a forgotten silo. He is rescued from destruction by Weedy, an eccentric scavenger obsessed with the remnants of the past and the search for meaning in their own existence. Soon after, Halu meets Fix, a practical, strong, and luminous young mechanic who awakens something deep within him. Together, in a world of ruins and dangers, they search for meaning, connection, and a reason to endure.

Arcadia is a work of existential science fiction–profoundly human, where memory and love endure as a precious mystery that refuses to fade. A story that explores what makes us human…when humanity is no longer there to tell us the answer.

Blade Forger

(W) Roy and Inaki Miranda (A) Inaki Miranda (C) Eva De La Cruz (L) Dave Sharpe

No matter who you are or where you’re from, with enough aspiration, courage and training you could become a Blade Forger, win the tournament and be the new Emperor.

The discovery of CORUM, a never seen before energy source, led to a bloody world war for its control. After years of destruction, the Lords of the Lands agreed to negotiate a ceasefire for lasting peace. The BLADE FORGERS TREATY was born from that meeting.

This treaty established that the mining of Corum would be centralized through one government, led by a neutral Emperor. The Emperor would have to be a BLADE FORGER, a mystical swordsman, and claim the title in a tournament called The Tournament of the Five Rings. Every five years Blade Forgers from every corner of the Empire would fight for the possibility of becoming the new Emperor.

A young Blade Forger named Owada challenges the Emperor in the name of the forsaken people. This is the story of what happens next.

Five Battles, One Blade, One Throne: The Entire Tournament of the Five Rings in Blade Forger Vol. 1

Posted on by

This fall, Mad Cave Studios unleashes the full fury of the Tournament of the Five Rings with Blade Forger Vol. 1, the complete opening chapter of Roy and Inaki Miranda’s powerhouse series now forged into a single collection! Created by the Eisner-nominated team behind We Live, this volume features Inaki Miranda’s striking art, colors by Eva De La Cruz , and letters by Dave Sharpe.

Born from upheaval, the Miranda brothers took the sudden halt of their acclaimed We Live series and the real-world tension of an energy crisis and forged them into a saga of scarce resources, fragile peace, and the fight to make power a common good. This first volume stands as their proof that creative promises, like the vows within the story itself, are meant to be kept.

No matter who you are or where you’re from, with enough aspiration, courage and training you could become a Blade Forger, win the tournament and be the new Emperor.
