HOST MORTEM is a 200-page, tongue-in-cheek, dark noir thriller that takes real life TV hosts Kevin Shinick and Greg Lee (Carmen Sandiego, et al) and places them in the smoky, suspense driven world of the 1940’s, where they get entangled in a murder mystery surrounding the classic noir film, The Big Sleep.
Part Mark Millar’s Kingsman, part Ed Brubaker’s Fade Out, bestselling author and Emmy winning writer Kevin Shinick uses HOST MORTEM to ask the question, “Are game show hosts really smart? Or are they just used to having the answers?”

Days Left: 13
Link: The Complete MFKZ Series by Run
Told in 5 volumes, MFKZ is a tribute to pop culture, B-movies, and the golden age of American Sci-fi. It is a multi-layered tale of destiny versus self-determination filled with explosive action, humor, and sincere gravitas for the characters involved.
DMC. Dark Meat City. Built out of broken dreams and desperation. Keep your head down if you wanna get by, which is sometimes easier said than done. Angelino and Vinz are two guys just trying to squeeze out an existence as best as they can – a challenge considering one looks like a jet-black cueball and the other has a flaming skull for a head. But that’s not as strange as DMC gets, so they rarely earn a second look.
That is, until Angelino starts seeing strange shadows. A careless collision with a semi-truck knocks a brand new sixth sense into his head: the ability to see strangers among us, demonic or otherworldly beings disguised as humans, manipulating society from behind their human masks. What do they want? Why can Angelino see them? And why do they suddenly want to get their hands on him?
The groundbreaking, celebrated graphic novel series by Guillaume “Run” Renard, MFKZ is an out of this world adventure about an unimaginable Apocalypse and how Angelino could be the key to stopping it (or starting it, depending on who gets their hands on him first…) Pursued by mysterious Men in Black, territorial street gangs, and a team of Mexican wrestlers who’ve been guarding mankind for decades, Angelino and Vinz find themselves in the middle of a global conspiracy that will blow your mind.
