ATTACK OF THE KILLER TOMATOES Original Graphic Novel
The ultimate battle for tomato supremacy is being waged across time! Will time traveler Alex be able to stop Gangreen and GG Organics?
In the year 2045, the human race is on the brink of extinction after decades of fighting Dr. Gangreen’s army of mutant killer tomatoes. Alexander, a brave soldier in what remains of the human resistance, volunteers for a dangerous mission: go back in time to the year 2026 and take out Gangreen before he can unleash his ultimate tomato-based plans for world domination!
Written by Kevin Cuffe and Bob Frantz (METALSHARK BRO, SKEETERS) with art by Bobby Timony (DC’s LEAGUE OF SUPER-PETS, THE NIGHT OWLS), with covers by Tim Seeley (HACK/SLASH, REVIVAL) and Bob Fingerman (MINIMUM WAGE, RECESS PIECES)!
The ATTACK OF THE KILLER TOMATOES (AKT) original graphic novel is a 4 chapter book coming in at over 100+ pages.
And Then We Get Weird.
Here’s the fun part. Once this thing is funded, the graphic novel starts… mutating.
We’re packing in an all-new ATK anthology, featuring short stories, pin-ups and more from an absolutely ridiculous lineup of writers and artists. Who are they? Nice try. We’ll be announcing these creators throughout the campaign, one delicious reveal at a time.
Think of it as the comic equivalent of the post-credit scene that just keeps going. More stories. More creators. More killer tomatoes. More opportunities for someone to be tragically defeated by produce.

Cool Air 1 to 3 – A Lovecraft Necronomicon Comic Adaptation
Madrid, 1927 – Dolores sits in the sun and begins her tale about the mysterious Dr Munoz whose freezing apartment she lived beneath…
Madrid, 1927. Dolores meets her friend in a café but refuses to sit in the shade. When her friend asks why, she begins to recount her strange encounter with Dr Munoz, four years previously.
Cool Air is loosely adapted and expanded from the HP Lovecraft short story of the same name. When Dolores moves into a new apartment in Madrid, she encounters her mysterious neighbour, Dr Munoz, after a water leak from the apartment above.
Being quite handy with a screwdriver, Dolores agrees to help in the upkeep of the strange machine which almost fills Dr Munoz’s rooms, keeping the temperature at a persistently uncomfortably low level.

SHITKICKERS #1 and #2 — Rude, Crude, Sci-Fi Action w/ ‘Tude
It’s Green Lantern meets Lethal Weapon with some Starship Troopers for garnish!
he COSMIC PROTECTION BUREAU (CPB) is an intergalactic police force that uses a Silver Age-style comic book called SPACE COPS as propaganda to draft recruits into service, human and alien alike (a la the arcade game in The Last Starfighter).
But like all propaganda, the truth of the CPB is far removed from the romanticized version found in these recruitment comic books—the CPB is dirty, corrupt, and not at all glamorous. It’s a problematic organization that prioritizes protecting its own over their sworn duty to serve and protect.
Our story centers around two of these space cops: DYLAN JAX, a hot-headed, brash go-getter looking for action, and SKIZZ, a veteran alien in a career backslide who’s comfortable toiling away in the Bowels of THE PRECINCT, the homeplanet of the CPB. She’s a self-described SHITKICKER, aka the Being doing the most menial tasks possible.
When the cocky Dylan is assigned to do bullshit busywork with Skizz, he’s forced to confront the reality that his great destiny was just a lie his mommy fed him, and that the organization he’s committed his life to isn’t as benevolent as it claims to be.
Bored out of his gourd and looking for some action, Dylan kidnaps Skizz to go on a mission to crack open one of his new partner’s cold cases that sends them spiraling down a wormhole of intergalactic conspiracies, dirty cops, and big-time daddy issues.
SHITKICKERS is a series that lives somewhere between the humor of the Jump Street films and the high-stakes action of Guardians of the Galaxy—with a little Starship Troopers for garnish, and it sounds like this. Think Lethal Weapon meets Green Lantern.
But underneath the dick jokes and bad attitudes, this is a story about fighting against a system designed to oppress, even if it takes you a while to realize the side you should be fighting for isn’t the side you’re on. It’s about finding your place in the universe with a little help from your friends and the importance of chosen family. It’s about telling your past to screw off so you can carve out your own future.

TILL DEATH Graphic Novel
Can love overcome the barrier of death? A soul-searching journey between the living and the dead.
A restless ghost from the 1960s enlists a grieving man to carry her bones across the country in a final attempt to reunite with her husband. But even the afterlife has rules, and breaking them could incur a fate worse than death.
From writers Michael Schwartz (Armored), Rachael Schaefer (The Next Step), and illustrator Gaia Cardinali (King Arthur and the Knights of Justice), comes a new ghost story that is part Frighteners and part Harold and Maude in this brand new original graphic novel romantic horror-comedy.
Vivian died in a horrific car accident in the 1960s and has spent decades as a restless spirit, waiting at her gravesite for her beloved husband to join her so they can ascend to the next plane together. But when someone else is buried in her husband’s plot, she learns he was laid to rest across the country. Just as Vivian is spiraling into despair, Mack, a troubled man with demons of his own, crashes into the cemetery during a skydiving accident and the near-death experience opens his eyes to the world of spirits. Bound to her remains, Vivian convinces Mack to exhume her bones and set off on a cross-country journey to find her husband. Their mission breaks a sacred rule of the afterlife, and soon the unlikely pair are pursued by a force of relentless reapers, determined to wipe them from all existence.
Till Death features a stunning cover by Eisner Award-winner Tula Lotay (Somna, Barnstormers), is lettered by Ferran Delgado (Armored, Savage Dragon), and is edited by Chris Stevens (Tyrant, The Marvel Art of David Mack).

SINK YOUR TEETH IN #1-2: Mature Sapphic Noir Chicago Vampire
An undead PI hunts a missing vamp, facing ancient Mob Families, corrupt cops, & a past she buried to survive. Zoe Tunnell/Lauren Knight
The DEATHline imprint of Lifeline Comics brings you a brand new 22-page comic, issue #2 in the series, from writer of comics Zoe Tunnell, and artist Lauren Knight!
Chicago is a vampire town. Has been for years. Divided between four rival factions of influential undead, every drop of the city’s lifeblood runs through them. And Corsica Smith barely sees any of it. Having long since fallen from her once-powerful place in the city’s elite, she scrapes by as a bottom-rate private eye.
Florence Carmichael thought she was done with Corsica. Decades of silence and a messy break-up seemed to be the final straw between her and the woman she turned into a vampire over a half century ago.
But now that she’s facing an impossible situation and in more danger than she’s ever been…Corsica is the only woman she can trust. Or at least manipulate.
Can Florence and Corsica figure their sh*t out or will the supernatural rising tensions in the city be their downfall?
