The Awakened
THE AWAKENED is a dark, noir-ish superhero murder mystery that explores what the true definition of power is, and who should wield it. Welcome to a world very much like our own, populated by a small handful of super-beings. The series focuses on a government-sanctioned team of super-heroes, The Freedom Alliance, and their beloved leader Paragon. Though everything seems to be just fine from the outside, the man behind Paragon’s mask realizes there are dark forces moving against him, his team, and the world itself. What does it have to do with the disappearance of the insanely-powerful being known as Avatar? When a hero falls, the world is left shaken – and one regular person must make the riskiest decision of their lives to protect the people they care about.
A character-driven superhero epic in the vein of The Golden Age, Supreme Power, Black Hammer, and Astro City, it is collected here in TPB format for the first time!
Thunder Guardian
The Earth has been destroyed. Civilization has been scattered throughout the solar system. The future of humanity has only one hope– THUNDER GUARDIAN!
Join father-son team of Reilly Brown (Deadpool, Batman/Fortnite: Zero Point) and Will Brown (grade schooler) as they tell the story of Thunder Guardian and his friends, and their battle against space pirates, monster boogers, and the forces of the evil Unknown!
For the past two years Will (currently in the 3rd grade) has been designing characters and telling stories to his comic book artist father, Reilly, who has been drawing them as comic strips for the newspaper A Kid and A Comic. This book collects those adventures in one place for the first time, and includes additional brand new material as well. Here’s what the contents will be:
18 pages of the original comic strip, 3-5 pages of a new story, 3-5 pages of a story where Reilly writes it and Will draws it, 2-4 pages of character bios/stats, 2-4 pages of process stuff (like Will’s sketches of characters and Reilly’s interpretations)
For fans of DEADPOOL, who are looking for something equally humorous and action-packed, but maybe they can share with the kids in their life who have a more DOG MAN sense of humor. Similar to AXE COP, but with superheroes. If you like aliens and space pirates, this book is for you. If you like monster boogers, this book is especially for you.

Breaking Into Comics + How-To Self Publish Returns
Help fund the all new prose guide to breaking into comics in an age of disruption, and bring a classic how-to book back to press
Help Launch an all new prose mini-book, bring back a classic! Kick off a series of personal online workshops for anyone seeking to better understand the business of making comics + break into the industry
Find a likeminded community of others with the same goals.
Noticing a void in the publishing space for a book that covered the business tasks required to make your own comics, Josh Blaylock launched How to Self-Publish Comics: Not Just Create Them in 2006. First released as a series of booklets, it was later collected into a prose nonfiction book, and later updated three more times, most recently in 2021. In 2018 it became required reading at SCAD University, a renowned school for aspiring comic book talent. While a humble circulation of the book exists in the many thousands, it is a “best kept secret” of this cottage industry.
The book has received praise from hundreds of industry professionals, with many crediting it as helping them get their start.
It has even received forewords from acclaimed Top Cow president and author Matt Hawkins, and famous cartoonist Art Baltazar.
Now, for the first time in nearly two decades, Blaylock has taken to writing a completely new booklet, once again returning to the original format, to address the concerns of the times.

Mark Spears Monsters THE MONSTER AND THE WOLF Comic Series
A prequel mini-series to Mark Spears Monsters, written and illustrated by Mark Spears
The mini-series The Monster and the Wolf is as a prequel to Monsters #1, offering an exploration of Frankenstein’s monster’s origin and the driving force behind the werewolf Clint Abbot’s journey. It begins with Clint’s relentless pursuit of a cure for his curse, leading him to the frozen expanse of the Arctic. There, whispers of a revolutionary discovery rekindle his hope—a scientist has reportedly created a serum capable of reversing genetic mutations.
However, the frozen wilderness conceals a chilling secret. Upon Clint’s arrival, he discovers that the research team has unearthed a creature trapped in the ice—a malevolent force preserved for over a century. As the dark history of Doctor Frankenstein comes to light, the grim truth behind the monster’s creation and the soul-shattering cost it demanded are revealed. At the same time, the Mad Hatter reemerges, setting his cryptic plans into motion.
Fans will encounter a story that not only reshapes their understanding of these characters but also raises the stakes for the epic saga yet to come.
The 3 issue mini-series will be released all at one time for backers of the kickstarter. The mini-series WILL be published by Keenspot for retailers in ’25 AFTER the kickstarter is fulfilled, much like the Monsters series. I have on the kickstarter a date of September 25 for release but that is playing it very safe. I plan to have it printed for the kickstarter in June or earlier if possible. Then right when it arrives I will ship it out. If I make enough I will hire some people to help ship out rewards to make it faster.
