The Return of Cyrus Perkins
Celebrate the 10th anniversary of the original series with the Haunted Taxi Cab Hardcover and Cyrus’ return in The Death Brigade #1!
A Long time ago amid several health issues, I misdiagnosed myself with food poisoning. Days later, I was being rushed to the hospital in a taxi cab as my body was shutting down. Between bouts of unconsciousness, I muttered to the cabbie, “If I die in this cab, I’m going to haunt it.” This was the inspiration for Cyrus Perkins.
Now, 10 years after its initial release, the acclaimed series is back with a commemorative hardcover of the original four-issue series and the long-awaited sequel, Cyrus Perkins and the Death Brigade #1.
After a young boy named Michael Bernbaum dies in his taxi cab, driver Cyrus Perkins must solve the boy’s murder… or be haunted by the spirit trapped in his car! But as Cyrus digs into the mystery surrounding Mikey’s death, he uncovers something even more sinister than murder. Drawn by Anna Lencioni (storyboard artist: Amphibia, Hazbin Hotel, Luck) and written, colored and lettered by Dave Dwonch (The Loose End, Jenny Zero, The Automaton),
Continuing immediately after the events of Cyrus Perkins and the Haunted Taxi Cab, Cyrus finds himself hunted by an evil set loose upon the world. But as the demon begins to circle its prey, revelations from the past will force Cyrus to embrace a previous life long forgotten. Drawn by newcomer, Sacha Levia, this new five-issue series is set to expand the supernatural crime noir world of Cyrus Perkins with a shocking revelation that will leave you reeling.

Sword of the War-Monster
Monster Forge presents Sword of the War-Monster
I was to be his mindless War-Monster.
I was to secure his rule over a world torn apart by magic.
But a wizard’s favorite spell is backstabbing other wizards…”
When the vile necro-wizard Bezulus released his unholy magic to create an army of monstrous servants, his most ambitious creation was the War-Monster — a stitched-together titan forged from the bones, blood, and weapons of ancient warriors. Unbeknownst to Bezulus, an even more powerful wizard had just simultaneously cast his own spell, unleashing a monster plague upon the world!
Bezulus believed he could control his new monster.
He was wrong.
Now free, the War-Monster carves a path of destruction across a corrupted world, bent on one goal:
KILL EVERY WIZARD.
On a quest for vengeance, armed with the cursed Blood-Blade, and haunted by the spirits of the fallen heroes he’s built from, the War-Monster will face horrifying creatures, battle other enchanted beasts, and seek the one sorcerer responsible for the monster plague…
…and END HIM.

TALES OF MR. RHEE Volume 6: “Blood for Blood”
Paranormal troubleshooter Mr. Rhee finds himself unexpectedly charged with protecting a divine stranger from the powerful Vampire Queen
Several years ago Hell invaded Earth as part of an invasion and infestation that included widespread demonic devastation, the return of Cthulhu and the Great Old Ones, and a Rapture that whisked a third of the human population into the Heavens, never to be seen again.
After “Three Days of Darkness” the angels interceded and drove the demons away, leaving those those who survived to their own devices and to rebuild a normal, monster-free society once more… or so most of the world believes.
Mr. Rhee is one of the few who knows the monsters aren’t all really gone and that a demonic “New World Order” has humanity at more risk than ever. He is now among a select few who has dedicated his life and skills to protecting those still impacted by the ever-encroaching forces of evil.
Now, in this latest volume of our horror-noir series, he is thrust into protecting a man with a potentially divine origin from being captured and consumed by the Vampire Queen and her brood who see his blood as their chance to achieve true immortality.
Welcome — or welcome back — to the world of TALES OF MR. RHEE.

The Game 1-5: The sexy, sci-fi thriller’s complete first arc
In the game of life, no one’s been keeping score… until now. From the creators of White Ash and Glarien. Welcome to THE GAME
The Game is an ongoing, sci-fi comic book series, from the creators of White Ash and Glarien.
Written by Charlie Stickney with art by Mauricio Mora, the 28 page fifth issue wraps up the first arc of the story of the down on his luck Eli, who on his thirtieth birthday is told he’s Player Number 3 in a game that’s been going for over a thousand years. And that he needs to figure out the rules pretty quick if he wants to survive.
Think Quantum Leap (the original series, not the remake), if Sam happened to jump into the body of The Highlander, and then got dragged into a sexy noir thriller.
It’s an ambitious combo, but around here it’s go big or go home if you want to have a chance of winning…
If you’re a returning backer of The Game or our extended White Ash Universe of comics, THANK YOU so much. We owe everything to our Kickstarter community. You’ve helped us become one of the biggest brands on the platform and that’s an honor and responsibility we take very seriously.
Speaking of our White Ash Universe of Comics, in 2026 it’s getting a bit bigger with RUN, a post-apocalypse love story from writer LAYNE MORGAN and artist SKYLAR PATRIDGE. In addition to The Game, through this KS we’ll be offering an ashcan preview of the book. So if you know what our deal is and what the Game is about, we encourage you to jump straight to the Variant Covers or our Rewards section where you can read all about Run.
If you’re new to The Game/ what we do at White Ash Comics, WELCOME. For the last eight years we’ve been publishing some of the best creator-owned books on Kickstarter.

Hostile Planet: An Environmental Science Fiction Anthology
13 creators from across the globe telling stories from post-environmental collapse
Born out of a shared love of genre comics both on the cutting edge and steeped in tradition, HOSTILE PLANET is a comics anthology over two years in the making. The idea started as Strangers Publishing’s Eddie Raymond and longtime friend Tom Kneeshaw longed to create a space to highlight the artists and comics their bond was built on. While initial discussions were inspired by media such as Mad Max, the Armored Core franchise and the works of Tsutomu Nihei, the idea has since grown and been shaped by 13 different creators who have contributed their visions of a HOSTILE PLANET.
The anthology is comprised of 13 stories by 13 different creators from across the globe from Argentina to France to Serbia back to the USA and Canada. Each creator with a unique perspective sharing stories about a world after environmental disaster has ruined our modern civilization and a new reality has taken hold.
Stories ranging from post-capitalist hellscapes to guiding barren deserts, to wind farming- these are stories of human resilience.
Strangers Publishing was born in 2020 with the intention of celebrating the forgotten and overlooked artists in the comic space and has grown from a fanzine to a publisher now running its 7th Kickstarter campaign.

?? ASSASSIN G: A HEROINE REBORN – ISSUES #1–3
A legendary wuxia classic reimagined by Jen Troy and He Tao as a stylish 80s revenge saga. Romance, martial arts, and loyalty collide.
And before Black Widow, Lara Croft, or The Bride from Kill Bill… there was Gan Shijiumei (????).
Gan Shijiumei was one of China’s most iconic wuxia heroines — the tragic star of the 1980s novel of the same name, and the unforgettable 1996 TV series that became a generational touchstone in Asia. Now, her legend is reborn.
Welcome to the world of Assassin G, a globe-spanning underworld where the Seven Cultivations Alliance pulls strings from the shadows, and loyalties run deeper than blood. If you’re into grounded espionage, star-crossed romance, and razor-clean martial arts intrigue, you’ll feel right at home.
Assassin G is a modern wuxia comic series created by Payhuan Peter Shiao, written by Jen Troy, and illustrated by He Tao, with coloring by Hi-Fi Design and lettering by AndWorld Design. Our variant cover for this campaign features Lisa Weber of Hex11 fame.
First launched on Kickstarter as part of the Immortal Storyverse, Assassin G brings a legendary heroine into a contemporary, globe-spanning saga. This campaign raises funds for Assassin G #3, a 44-page double issue, and makes prior issues and storyverse books available for anyone catching up.
Whether you’re a new or returning Immortal, thank you for being on this journey with us. It’s backers like you who allow us to build the world’s first modern interconnected wuxia storyverse and awaken the heroes in all of us.

Front Lines: A Lifetime of Drawing Resistance
A new retrospective of Susan Simensky Bietila’s six decades of activism shows that art has the power to be more dangerous than words.
Front Lines: A Lifetime of Drawing Resistance is Susan Simensky Bietila’s story of her six decades as a movement artist and activist and a lifetime of artistic collaborations rooted in her activist experience. Growing up during McCarthyism, she rejected the nationalist masculinity of elite art and conformist culture and found feminism and collectivism as new forms of resistance. She became an artist in the New Left, creating illustrations for radical underground publications including RAT, Subterranean News, and comics for the anarchic World War 3 Illustrated.
With more than one hundred images, Front Lines documents her art on the page and in action featuring protest banners and giant puppets of birds and fish carried in the streets, masks of notorious dictators for street theater, posters pasted on walls and hung in radical spaces, community art builds, and more. Visual storytelling and detailed captions contextualize and bring to life her work with movements including antiwar protests during the Viet Nam era, Indigenous led antimine and antipipeline struggles, water protection, immigrant rights, anticorporate globalization convening, protests against the state and capital, Palestinian liberation actions, and collaborations with groups throughout the Great Lakes region and beyond. She agitates from the roots and the front lines to this day.
