Skullkickers: The Digest Edition
SKULLKICKERS is an action-comedy sword & sorcery comic series that ran for 34 issues from 2010-2015, building a loyal audience for its uproarious take on the genre and comics as a whole. Skullkickers is Deadpool by way of Dungeons & Dragons – irreverent, ridiculous, and frantically fourth wall breaking.
Over the past 9 years, the six trade paperbacks and three hardcover collections of Skullkickers have become harder to track down while, at the same time, writer Jim Zub’s fantasy bonafides have grown with work on seminal fantasy titles that include Dungeons & Dragons, Conan the Barbarian, Pathfinder, Samurai Jack, and Red Sonja. Thousands of fantasy fans have enjoyed Jim’s writing on commercial titles, but haven’t dug into the original sword & sorcery series that put him on the map.
SKULLKICKERS: The Digest Edition is your best chance to get on board this genre-crashing action-comedy swords & sorcery adventure on steroids! It is the story of three messed-up mercenaries who kill monsters and cause chaos in their relentless search for money and fame!
It’s like Deadpool by way of Dungeons & Dragons and is written by Jim Zub, who has worked on Dungeons & Dragons, Conan the Barbarian, The Avengers, Batman, Samurai Jack, Rick and Morty, and Street Fighter!

We’re Lisa and John, and this is our comic reality. In 2018, we were a struggling comic artist and writer living and raising teens in the Brooklyn bubble.
Background Noise Comic is a Ringo-award-nominated diary comic about our life, our love, and our quirks. We started the comic online in 2018.
When we launched this passion project, we produced a comic daily for a whole year! Now, with your help, we’re turning the best comics from our first year into a book — LOVE LETTERS, EVERY DAY.
A year on the couch? You betcha!
In our comics, we voiced our angst, whimsy, and passions about everything happening in the background of our daily life, from our work to our kids to our imaginary cats to politics to geeky stuff.
We lampooned the divisive American zeitgeist with tales of a POTUS Squirrel in our critter-filled backyard.
Help turn the first year of Background Noise Comics into LOVE LETTERS, EVERY DAY. This book is the first of many collections of the Ringo Award-nominated and Instagram fan-favorite comic.

Zombie Date Night 2: A Zombie Romance Comedy Sequel
A Second Date You Won’t Forget
Roses are red…
Blood is too.
And the undead are even hungrier
In Zombie Date Night 2!
From the clearly rotted mind of Steve Urena (Slow Pokes 1&2, Zombie Date Night, X-Maschina, Foul Mouth) comes the sequel to the critically acclaimed zombie romance comedy, Zombie Date Night!
Still recovering from the awkwardness of their first Zombie Date Night, main characters Jack and Ginger have reached the scariest place to be…the friend zone.
When their survival group realizes they’re running out of food, the enthusiastic and outgoing Ginger leads the charge with a very reluctant Jack to find sustenance before the zombaes (zombies who can only survive with a mate) eat them first. Will the second date be better than the first or will this situationship be food for the undead?
Returning for the sequel is the original team behind the first Zombie Date Night. Incredible art drawn by Sergi Domènech. Amazing Colors by Josh Jensen. Eye-catching lettering by Anthony Rella and editing by the wonderfully talented Allegra Calderaro. This 24-page, hilarious action-packed comic has got everything: laughs, zombies, romance and, of course, over-the-top violence!

BANANA SIOULE: the future of gladiator games
An explosive shonen manga-style series by MICHAËL SANLAVILLE (the co-creator of LASTMAN).

Of all international sports, Sioule is the most violent, the most dangerous… and the most watched event in all media history. This brutal cocktail of rugby and dodgeball attracts millions of viewers to each match, and social networks go wild for the players who become international stars.
But Helena is far from familiar with all this madness. From the idyllic silence of her countryside home, she is quite content to help her father on the family farm, camping by the sea with her friends, and maintaining a simple, peaceful life of chopping wood, taking care of injured cows, and swimming in the ocean with Manille and the others… This is the daily life she grew up with… But her father dreams of something more for her: there is no way she’ll spend her life shoveling manure!
Then one day, the world opens up to her. A chance encounter introduces her to Sioule, and an innate desire to compete blossoms within her. If her father is so set on her leaving the farm to follow some unknown dream, why not pursue a career playing Sioule?
But that dream isn’t easily won. To make a place for herself in this ultra-testosterone environment, she’s going to have to use her elbows… and her knuckles!
If you like movies like Tombstone, True Grit, or Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron, you’ll love Dragon Grit.

Frost Road – An Apocalyptic Horror Graphic Novel
Keith Arem (Call of Duty) & Christopher Shy’s (Dead Space) psychological survival thriller
From the visionary creators behind Image Comics’ award-winning Ascend, Keith Arem (Call of Duty) and Christopher Shy (Dead Space) return with their latest (COMPLETED) graphic novel, Frost Road. This campaign-exclusive oversized acrylic delivers over 200 pages of immersive storytelling and breathtaking visuals.
Frost Road weaves a narrative that blends the emotional intensity of The Last of Us, the chilling atmosphere of A Quiet Place, and the unsettling dread of Silent Hill, all centered around one haunting question:
A man wakes up in the wreckage of a car crash, his memory shattered. Nearby, the town of Frost Road is eerily silent. Buildings stand abandoned. Vehicles are frozen mid-escape. And the few survivors left are barely clinging to their sanity.
Something is happening. Something unseen. An invisible signal that warps the mind, turning people into violent husks of themselves. The only person immune is a local woman with her own dark past, and a prisoner who clearly knows more than he’s saying. Together, they have one goal—escape Frost Road.
But as they fight through the chaos, a terrifying truth emerges: Frost Road may not be the only town. The deadly waves — too low to hear, too powerful to resist—are spreading. And if they can’t stop them here, the entire world may fall silent.

The smash hit astral projection thriller takes on the ELECTION! From the Ringo Award-winning creator of THE BREACH & THE PEACEKEEPERS.
THE JUMP is a comic book series from screenwriter Rylend Grant, artist Fabio Alves, colorist Edson Ferriera, and letterer HdE… the same twisted team that brought you Action Lab: Danger Zone’s critically-lauded superhero noir BANJAX.

COMMANDER IN CHAINS “Air Force One” meets “The Fugitive”
When President Rockwell is framed for murder, he leads the USA from a supermax cell while defending his innocence–and his life!
Commander in Chains is an (a)political action thriller in the vein of Air Force One, White House Down, or Olympus Has Fallen. It’s got more in common with TBS Superstation than C-SPAN, less CNN and more Snakes on a Plane.
Do you choke back tears when Bill Pullman delivers his Fourth of July address in Independence Day? That’s the feeling we’re chasing with this comic book. Struck with the title a few years back, we’ve built the main character and story to match: a Tom Clancy character trapped in a B-movie prison flick who’s too resolute to break in the face of immorality, and willing to back up his words with his fists when necessary. Think Ethan Hunt as the American President! Snake Plissken meets Captain America!!
