What happens when three legendary brujas go off in search of one epic herbal remedy that leads them on a fast track to hell?
BRUJAS is a 23-page supernatural adventure starring three of the most infamous figures in Latin American folklore: La Llorona, the Donkey Lady, and La Lechuza. It’s ready to send to print once the campaign funds roll up.

The brujas are on a mission to get their hands on the ultimate herbal remedy, a rare and incredibly potent strain said to be the finest magical herb in existence.

Unfortunately, they know exactly where they have to go…

The Devil has been keeping the legendary Hell’s O.G. for himself, and if the brujas want some, they’re going to have to go straight to the source.

Their plan is simple: get into Hell, find the Devil’s stash, and get out. Unfortunately, for these witches, nothing is ever easy…

With St. Michael the Archangel on their trail, demons standing between them and their prize, and the entire underworld waiting to make things difficult, the brujas are about to discover that the hardest part of a supernatural quest isn’t getting into Hell… it’s getting out with what you came for.

BRUJAS mixes Latin American folklore, supernatural horror, comedy, and occult weirdness into a fast-moving adventure that takes these legendary creatures somewhere you’ve never seen them before. Think Pineapple Express meets spooky BRATZ.

Are you ready to take a legendary road trip with three baddies to secure a legendary herb? Yeah you are.

Pride Patrol: The Rainbow Rangers Issue #1 in Print!

Six gay men are summoned by the Divine Spirit of Drag to further the Gay Agenda but there are personalities and villains to overcome!

Six gay men. One divine summons. Their first mission? Get along.
Pride Patrol: The Rainbow Rangers is an irreverent, heartfelt LGBTQ superhero comic about six very different men brought together by the Divine Spirit of Drag.

Their destination is LGBTQ-HQ, a fabulous headquarters in a dimension outside our own. Their assignment is the Gay Agenda:

F.U.C.K.

Friendliness. Understanding. Compassion. Kindness.

 

Harder than you’d expect. Deeper than you’re ready for!

Before these men can become a team, they have to figure out how to share a room.

The first issue exists. Help bring it into print.
Issue #1 is complete. Now I’m raising $3,000 to bring Pride Patrol: The Rainbow Rangers into print, prepare its digital release, and deliver the campaign’s rewards.

You can already see the characters, artwork, and finished storytelling taking shape on this page. Your backing will help turn that work into a book readers can hold.

This campaign supports the first issue and lays the groundwork for an ongoing series.

Pride Patrol has cosmic spectacle, comedy, attraction, awkward conversations, and personalities that collide spectacularly.

It also asks questions that matter to me.

What happens when the beliefs that once gave you purpose teach you to hate yourself? How do you accept people whose experiences differ from your own? Can you offer compassion without surrendering your boundaries? What does belonging look like when fitting in has always required hiding something?

The Rangers will make mistakes. They will hurt each other, challenge each other, and discover things about themselves they would rather leave alone.

Friendliness, understanding, compassion, and kindness sound simple. Practicing them with someone who gets on your last nerve is another story.

Somewhere in the Pacific Northwest on an ill-fate camping trip, Ashleigh Cole stumbles upon a dying dragon in the woods, its hide peppered with bullet wounds and tattooed with U.S. military markings. Ash returns to her mundane life, convinced her experience in the woods was all just a hallucination—until she begins to display some oddly dragonlike characteristics herself.

Come On, Texas: The USS Texas (BB-35) Graphic Novel

n 1910, two rival empires were locked in a relentless race to build the biggest guns afloat; Britain and Germany launched dreadnought after dreadnought, while America watched, calculated, and forged her answer.

That answer was BB-35, armed with ten formidable 14-inch rifles that placed her among the hardest-hitting warships of the US Navy.

Commissioned on March 12, 1914, as the USS Texas, she would outlast the era of her makers and serve far longer than anyone dared imagine. Official history remembers the armor, the firepower, and the battle honors, but it rarely honors the men deep beneath the armored deck who fueled that thunder.

That is precisely where our story begins. World of Warships and MOZUMA present

Having fought across two World Wars from the freezing patrol lines of the North Sea in 1918 to the thunderous naval bombardment of D-Day in 1944 the USS Texas (BB-35) stands today as the world’s last surviving dreadnought, currently preserved on the Galveston coast to endure for another century.

Come On, Texas is a 130-page hardcover graphic novel created in collaboration with World of Warships as the second volume in the Legends series, chronicling this colossal legacy through three generations of one family bound by a single pocketknife. In 1917, coal passer

Stanislaw Kowalski sneaks below deck to carve ‘KOWALSKI’ into an obscured bulkhead; in 1944, as 14-inch shells pound Pointe du Hoc, his son Frank cuts his own name beneath his father’s with the very same blade; and today, 28-year-old gamer Mike Kowalski spots that family mark during a live broadcast from the ship, flies out to the hull in Texas, and etches the third name into history

In the days before Halloween 2013, Harvey Award-winning writer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and Eisner Award-winning artist Francesco Francavilla unleashed something unthinkable onto the shelves of comics shops around the world … and transformed the sunshine-strewn streets of America’s most perpetually charming smalltown, Riverdale, into the shadow-laden site of a full-on zombie onslaught. Ravaged by the undead, Archie Andrews, Jughead Jones, Betty Cooper, Veronica Lodge, and all of Archie Comics’ most famous icons would find themselves utterly transformed and powerfully reimagined as the comic industry’s most unlikely and unexpected horror anti-heroes within the pages of of Aguirre-Sacasa & Francavilla’s AFTERLIFE WITH ARCHIE – detonating the first blast of a sold-out, smash-hit series that would immediately and definitively redefine the art and intensity of Archie Comics for a new generation.

Unrelentingly celebrated by critics and ferociously followed by fans, AFTERLIFE WITH ARCHIE immediately became a jugular-ripping legend in its own time – due in no small part to the terrifying, tense, and uncannily atmospheric artwork of illustrator Francesco Francavilla, who quickly defined himself as one of his generation’s most instantly iconic and sought-after artists over the course of the series’ gut-wrenching run.

Now, on the cusp of the upcoming AFTERLIFE WITH ARCHIE live-action streaming series adaptation slated to debut on Disney+ in 2027, Oni Press is proud to introduce a new and chilling perspective on the ultimate Archie Comics horror tale ever told … re-presenting Francavilla’s raw, unexpurgated black-and-white artwork for the first time anywhere in a staggeringly oversized, 11”x17” tombstone-sized format so haunting that it could only be called the AFTERLIFE WITH ARCHIE: MAUSOLEUM EDITION VOL. 1. 

Reproducing Francavilla’s complete interior artwork and covers from AFTERLIFE WITH ARCHIE #1-6 in crisp and creepy B&W at the size of full-scale comics artboard and remastered by the artist himself, the AFTERLIFE WITH ARCHIE: MAUSOLEUM EDITION VOL. 1 is the ultimate way for readers, collectors, and appreciators of original art to experience every disturbing detail of a once-in-a-lifetime horror comics masterpiece … as rendered by a truly legendary talent of the comics medium.
