After discovering his werewolf lineage, a young man is reluctantly thrown into a supernatural war. A 32-page special story arc finale!
Born into the outcast breed of werewolves known as the Monoki, eighteen-year-old Rodney Marcelli is reluctantly pulled into an ancient war between good and evil, during a modern time where the line has blurred.
With the help of Snow Paw, the Pureblood Monoki, and the supernatural evil slayer, Night Hunter, Rod must learn to master his newly found lycanthropy and mysterious kinetic energy power that only he possesses. Rod must fight the Dark Covenant in order to avenge his friends and family, and to save the girl he loves from the master vampire, Lord Malice.
Rodney Marcelli is Night Wolf!
Welcome to the Night Wolf #1-12: Urban Fantasy Werewolf Coming of Age Drama Kickstarter campaign! My name is Robert A. Multari and I’m the creator/writer of Night Wolf.
It has been my dream since I was a kid, struggling with Attention Deficit Disorder and Dyslexia, to be a comic book creator because comic books have helped me to overcome my learning disabilities. I’ve had the pleasure of self-publishing Night Wolf #1-11, Snow Paw #1-4, and more with the help of my past Kickstarter backers, who I refer to as my Wolf Pack.
Now, I stand ready to publish my Night Wolf Issue 12! That’s why I’ve come back to pay for the printing and the rewards that you will receive for backing my project.

TEZUKA! God of Manga
Featuring Katsuhiro Otomo, Riyoko Ikeda, Naoki Urasawa, Go Nagai, Yoshiyuki Tomino, Masao Maruyama, Rintaro, Ada Palmer, and more!
It’s hard to overstate Osamu Tezuka’s influence on manga and anime in Japan and comic book and animation storytelling around the world. Before there was Akira, Ghost in the Shell, Chainsaw Man, and Jujutsu Kaisen, there was Tezuka’s Astro Boy: the iconic, atomic-powered robot boy. Known in Japan as Tetsuwan Atom, this loveable hero sprang fully formed from the imagination of Tezuka-sensei, AKA the “God of Manga.”
Though he’s sometimes compared to Walt Disney, Tezuka was arguably a much greater cultural force. In 1963, he broke new ground by introducing Astro Boy — the bestselling manga of its time — as Japan’s first weekly animated TV program. He also created Kimba the White Lion and hundreds of other incredible storylines. It’s not a stretch to say that he was the spark igniting the post-war explosion of creativity that has made Japan a global leader in comics and animation — and influenced generations of creators around the world.
–
Now, Peabody Award-winning director Jason Andrew Cohn and the Bread & Butter Films production team (Camille Servan-Schreiber, Jinko Gotoh, Glen Shigeru Fukushima, and Roland Kelts) — will spotlight Tezuka’s life and legacy with TEZUKA! God of Manga, a feature-length documentary. TEZUKA! God of Manga features all new interviews with legendary manga and anime creators, including Katsuhiro Otomo (Akira), Riyoko Ikeda (Rose of Versaille), Naoki Urasawa (Monster), Go Nagai (Devilman), Yoshiyuki Tomino (Gundam), MADHOUSE co-founder and anime producer Masao Maruyama (Tokyo Godfathers), anime director Rintaro (Metropolis), best-selling fantasy author Ada Palmer (Too Like the Lightning), Samuel Sattin (Unico Awakening), and Jorge R. Gutiérrez (The Book of Life), along with manga scholars Helen McCarthy (The Art of Osamu Tezuka: God of Manga) and Fred Schodt (Manga! Manga!). Once funded, the producers will schedule additional interviews with artists including Paul Pope (THB).

Kill The Dream by Clio Isadora
A contemporary horror graphic novel about two sisters, their mother’s strange cult, and the dark plan she left behind
Amethyst and Parsley Mire had an unconventional childhood.
Their mother, Blanche, walked out on the family to chase her self-appointed destiny: unlocking the spirit realm’s three doors of life, death and rebirth. When she dies in mysterious circumstances, the sisters travel to the lonely desert town of Jupiter Rock for her funeral, and meet the strange followers who still live by her teachings.
Before long, Amethyst and Parsley are caught up in their mother’s dark plan from beyond the grave, as her students search for a new vessel for Blanche’s soul.
Kill The Dream is a contemporary horror graphic novel about sisters, and about how the way your family raised you can haunt you all your life. It’s the second graphic novel from Clio Isadora, following her debut Sour Pickles (Avery Hill).
Inspired by horror films and dysfunctional families, Kill The Dream explores the forgotten audience of a charismatic conspiracy-theorist matriarch, and the conflicting feelings that come with honouring her beliefs after her death.

NIGHTMARE WORLD presents FROG SWEAT
A runaway mafia couple meets Lovecraftian horrors in the bayou via this 100+ page graphic novel by Dirk Manning and Les Lindon Garner.
In the almost twenty years since I officially wrapped-up my comic series NIGHTMARE WORLD, I’ve been asked if I would ever return to series that launched by career.
While I’ve continued to explore a “shared universe” concept with NIGHTMARE WORLD though the TALES OF MR. RHEE graphic novel series, I’ve consistently, and at times adamantly, said that the story of NIGHTMARE WORLD was closed and that I would not be returning to it.
That being said, for over two decades there has always been one more new NIGHTMARE WORLD story I’ve wanted to tell, and now, at long last, I’m bringing it to life in a new stand-alone 110+ page original graphic novel!
NIGHTMARE WORLD presents FROG SWEAT continues the tale of the mafioso lovers Bridget and Johnny from the NIGHTMARE WORLD story “The Guns of Love Disastrous.” When we last saw these two star-crossed lovers they made the choice to betray crime boss Dan Danforth and start a new life for themselves together free and far away his influence… but what then?
In FROG SWEAT we return to these two “on the lam” characters as a mysterious stranger (heh) points them towards sanctuary in a remote location deep in the bayou “where dreams come true.” Upon arriving in this secluded location, they quickly find themselves against Lovecraftian horrors that threaten to consume them mentally, emotionally, and even physically.
Much like many of my previous graphic novel offerings (BURIED BUT NOT DEAD, LOVE STORIES ABOUT DEATH, HOPE, TALES OF MR. RHEE, and NIGHTMARE WORLD among others), FROG SWEAT is a stand-alone graphic novel written for horror fans looking for a graphic novel they will read, re-read, and be proud to have as part of their collection. It is illustrated by the creative team of Les Lindon Garner and Colin Johnson, both of whom previously joined me in the creation of the Native American werewolf western graphic novel HOMESTEAD, which earned a nomination for “Best Graphic Novel of the Year” in the prestigious Ringo Awards. With this latest collaboration we have raised the bar both individually and collectively to bring you all the most horrific and dread-laden graphic novel of my career to date.

Outrage Across The USA
The 2nd and final volume of the hit webtoon from Fabian Nicieza and Reilly Brown!
Developed by FABIAN NICIEZA (co-creator of Deadpool) and artist REILLY BROWN (Masters of the Universe), OUTRAGE is a comic that ran for two “seasons” and was first published in digital form by WEBTOON.
OUTRAGE was born of a very simple idea: EVERYONE has seen a stupid post on social media and said, “I wish I could reach through that person’s screen and smack them in the head!”
What if someone (something) COULD do that? Outrage is the bully that bullies the bullies on the internet. Not a hero, not a villain, but filled with righteous indignation and a caustic, contradictory personality, Outrage scours the vast totality of the internet on a global level and can appear out of your digital device!
Ultimately, OUTRAGE is the story of OUR stupidity and how our collective and individual weaknesses and foibles manifest on social media. Season 2 takes the outrage into the wider world as people start to act out on the outrage they feel based on the examples set by Outrage. The story is also an exploration of technology run amok and the fallibility of the human hands which seek (and often fail) to control it.
Comedy. Science Fiction. Social-satire and maybe, for some of us, a challenging look in the mirror.
In 2022, Season 1 of OUTRAGE was published in print format by our good friends at Rocketship Entertainment, who, as far as you know, have in no way coerced us into saying what a great publishing company they are to work with!
In the spirit of complete openness and outrage, Season 2 ran into some Covid-era delays in running on Webtoon and then we encountered some production issues which delayed our ability to bring the print edition to you. None of that should matter now, but we just wanted to explain why there’s been a bit of gap in the releases.
The good news (depending on your perspective) is that the world is still consumed by all of the thematic elements that make OUTRAGE outrageous, so it is as timely as you read it today as it was when we made it a few years ago!
