Heartbreak Manor
A young girl must uncover the deadly secret hidden within the walls of an old mansion. A Haunting New Tale from the creators of October Faction and Monster & Madman.
Legendary writer Steve Niles and acclaimed artist Damien Worm are collaborating on an all-new graphic novel that puts a unique twist on a classic horror tradition: the holiday ghost story. Heartbreak Manor is an ambitious and artful horror story about a desperate young orphan who must uncover the deadly secret hidden that lurks within the walls of an old mansion.
A chilling new Gothic ghost story set in the early 1900’s from the creators of October Faction and Monster & Madman. With your support, Heartbreak Manor will come to life as a beautiful hardcover book. This will really showcase Damien’s art!
Rescued from an orphanage, Sally Madison’s wealthy new parents appear eager to provide her with everything she could ever desire. But as she begins to navigate the peculiar mansion that has become her new home, she discovers that she must follow strict rules and respect numerous locked doors. As Christmas approaches, she realizes she must uncover the deadly secret of Heartbreak Manor before it’s too late.
The 100 page hardcover book is written by Niles, illustrated and colored by Worm, and edited and lettered by goth icon Monica Richards (Faith and the Muse), who is also working with darkwave artist Anthony Roumanis to create a 30-minute Heartbreak Manor Original Soundtrack. The campaign features exclusive prints by Damien Worm; remarques by the artist; a copy of the soundtrack; signed books; and even a tier where fans can be drawn into the book to experience the horrors of the manor alongside Sally.
In addition to co-creating Monster & Madman and October Faction (which was also released on Netflix) with Niles, Worm has drawn the comic adaptations of numerous fan-favorite video games, including Titan Comics’ Dark Souls: Legends of the Flame, and Bloodborne: Lady of the Lanterns.

John Layman & Rob Guillory’s GHOSTBRAWLER #1 Bruiser Edition
Joey Frezzini used to be a boxer. Now he evicts unwanted ghosts from people’s homes. With his FISTS.
Meet Joey Frezzini. He’s a boxer. Or he used to be…. before he died.
Joey’s a good-hearted musclehead from the neighborhood, always unlucky, born behind the eight ball. And after an unlucky punch leaves him dead in the ring, Joey recovers with the ability to see and physically interact with ghosts and other supernatural beings.
So Joey, who’s never had a job that hasn’t involved his fists, starts a second life as the guy to call when your house, church or graveyard is infested with pesky spirits. One call, and Joey clears out any ghostly or infernal presence the only way he knows: With Muscles and Knuckles.
But jobs like this don’t pay well, and Joey has outstanding debt to impatient local mobsters. He’s also got woman troubles, an overbearing (and very dead) mother, territorial occultists, suspicious Vatican servants, and guilt over the death of his best friend, whom he accidentally killed and desperately wants to make peace with.
In advance of GHOSTBRAWLER’s debut at Image Comics in 2027, we are offering backers a limited, one of a kind essential prelude to this new hard-hitting supernatural title.
The Bruiser Edition is a limited edition 72-page printing of GHOSTBRAWLER #1 and #2 using only Black ink and Blue Embellishments. It is a raw, unfiltered early look at the process behind the book that includes:

Extra Terrestrials
Wrong Bus, Right Heroes!
Extra Terrestrial – Four ordinary kids—Wyatt (the older, cool kid), his brother Neal (the always-awkward kid who eats peanut butter and pickle sandwiches), Vanessa (the girl from the bus stop), and Tom (the annoying one)—are transported to the other side of the galaxy. Not random; they’ve been chosen by the evil Overlord for a very specific reason. Nowhere near home and dependent on each other, this quartet must learn to navigate complex alien politics, forge unlikely alliances with rebel fighters, and ultimately unite to save this new planet—and potentially Earth—from total annihilation, proving that courage and friendship can overcome even galactic evil. Think Goonies meets Star Wars!
From the minds of FRANCO (Superman of Smallville, Superpowers, Magic of SHAZAM!, Flash Gordon Adventures, Teen Titans Go!) and JASON MAY (LEGO Club Magazine, Flash Gordon Adventures 2, Bags & Bots, and Helmights)
A 120-page self-contained Graphic Novel comic!
I think we started talking about this at NYCC almost eight years ago. Jason wanted to draw outer space and skateboards. Heavy on the space and subtle on the skateboards. We worked on this a while ago, trials and tribulations and detours in life but ultimately, an awesome story that’s already finished and ready to print!

SCUM The Tragedy of Valerie Solanas – #MAKE1000
Andy Warhol meets Pop Culture Assassin Valerie Solanas, in a Full Color Hardcover BioGraphic Novel.
Andy Warhol was shot by Valerie Solanas.
“I didn’t intend to kill him… I just wanted him to pay attention to me. Talking to him was like talking to a chair.” – Valerie Solanas
This event changed Art, changed Feminism forever. And spawned numerous Plays, Novels, and Films including the Award Winning ‘I Shot Andy Warhol’ with Valerie played by the wonderful Lili Taylor, and Directed by Mary Harron (American Psycho, The Notorious Bettie Page) “Lili Taylor plays Solanas as mad but not precisely irrational. She gives the character spunk, irony and a certain heroic courage.” -Roger Ebert
Even the last film Warhol directed, the widely dismissed ‘Women In Revolt’ which featured the S.C.U.M. parody org; P.I.G. Politically Involved Girls was inspired by her writing.

The Goblin Throne by Mel Gillman
Beware the promises you make to the Goblin Queen . . . especially if you plan to break them. An all-new graphic novel!
Beware the promises you make to the Goblin Queen, especially if you plan to break them.
When a young woman makes a pact with the Goblin Queen for peace and safety, she initially thinks herself prepared to pay any price. But when confronted with the true cost of her contract, she flees to start a new life far from the strange old creature, breaking her word. What she does not realize in the moment is that all deer paths lead to the goblin kingdom, and should she desire it, its Queen will always find you.
Mel Gillman’s The Goblin Throne is a 140-page, full color, 6? × 9? hardcover graphic novel intended for adult audiences.
There are far too few Sapphic fairy tales out there, and we’re sick of stories about some dude stalking yet another princess. We want a story about a hot, one-eyed Goblin Queen scouring the earth for the woman that stole her heart and broke a promise. And that’s exactly what The Goblin Throne delivers.
If you like the aesthetic of Over the Garden Wall and the quiet horror of Grimm’s fairy tales, the fanciful and sinister world of The Goblin Throne is for you. Award-winning, critically acclaimed author Mel Gillman sucks you into a world of passion, blood, and betrayal, rendered in their peerless colored pencil illustrations.
You’ll hold your breath as the woman’s young son walks right into the Goblin Queen’s trap. A trap with no regard for him other than a way to get at her. And when the woman’s son finally awakens, bloodied and alone, will he dare to use the hunting skills his long-dead father taught him to save his mother? After all, he once made a promise, too.

Exploring: Gender Identity, Bi Erasure, Demisexuality, Bi Rep in Media, Tabletop, Sports, Frankenstein, Post-Apocalyptic, and more!
As a bisexual creator myself, this is one of the most important projects I’ve ever worked on. Growing up, I had very little bisexual representation.

This third volume of Bi Visibility welcomes some wonderful creators to help bring this to life. Including the likes of Chris Cantwell (Halt and Catch Fire, Iron Man), Heather Antos (Star Trek), Mike Henderson (Image Comics’ Nailbiter), Jarrett Melendez (Chef’s Kiss), Kate Leth (Patsy Walker: AKA Hellcat, Mall Goth), Rye Hickman (DC Comics’ Bad Dream: A Dreamer Story), Rachael Smith (Wired Up Wrong), Tara Madison Avery (Prism Comics), Alex Brennan-Dent (WEBTOON’s Fantasy High), Dominic Bustamante (DC Comics’ Warriors and a Wee Wonder), Rafi De Sousa (The Little Mermaid & The Pirate Queen), Sara Soler (DC Pride), Johanna Taylor (Penguin’s The Ghostkeeper), and so many more wonderful creators!
