After surviving World War One, two veterans from different countries form a friendship. Jack, a reserved black man from the United States and Thomas, an extroverted white Englishman become stage magicians performing throughout Europe. They become wildly successful, thanks in no small part to the fact that one of them actually has strange magical powers.

At the same time, in a defeated Germany, a ruthless young man named Ulrich climbs the ranks in the newly formed Nazi party. Possessing his own magical abilities he intends to use them to restore his country to power and glory.

The Magical is a story of three men, their lives and the supernatural forces that cause their inevitable clash

Surviving the muddy trenches of WW1 is quite a feat. But the magic act that friends Jack and Thomas put together after the war proves to be an even greater one. However, they have a huge advantage. One of the duo has REAL magical powers. As the world slowly marches towards a new world war, their new act takes on an added danger. For they are not the only ones in the world who know of and possess magical abilities. And they are all being hunted.

Get the exclusive softcover of this epic adventure which spans two continents, two wars and 100 years — with 3 covers by superstar artists Khary Randolph, Todd Harris and Ed McGuinness

Link: Drumsticks of Doom: BotSM issue 3(of 3)+ All Previous issues

When Black Sabbath (not the Beatles) became the world’s most famous band, the universe was changed, musically and otherwise. Lost arts, like Alchemy, were made common, schools taught about transfiguration and alternate science, Demons were summoned and some stuck around.

Lana LOVES music. She has played in bands all through high school and now, in college, she still plays in her ex’s fledgling metal band. She’s convinced their drummer to play her indie songs in secret. She’s finishing up the best practice yet when they are drawn into a spiritual battle to keep metal on the top of the charts.

The first miniseries was a wild ride of Daywolves, Metal Cults and hybrid creatures.

The new 3-issue mini-series has Lana and the crew taking the next step in their musical journey as they head to the mysterious Silver Mountain to record their first album. The recording session is a wrap, but Lana is under the spell of the Witch in the Woods. The crew of Argile, Dom, Neil, Jimmy and Jerry are about to be remastered, if Lana doesn’t get her act together QUICKLY.

20 Stunning Black and White interiors story pages- 18 by Dan Dougherty and 2 pages of added content -Standard American size book, Full Color Covers.

SHIN ZERO: a Graphic Novel for the Rent-a-Sentai Generation

Sentai never die— but they might not always get 5-star ratings. Enter the world of SHIN ZERO, and the age of uber-heroes.

Current Funding: $ 61,744
Funding Goal: 7,500
Days Left: 11
Link: SHIN ZERO: a Graphic Novel for the Rent-a-Sentai Generation
Two decades after the final kaiju fell beneath a thunderous blaze of technicolor justice, the sentai dream has dimmed. No more dazzling battles or stadium-sized glory — just a generation of ex-hopefuls, including five young heroes sharing a rundown flat and side gigs that barely cover rent. Warren, Héloïse, Nikki, Satoshi, and Sofia once trained to save the world. Now they guard nightclubs, fetch coffee, and navigate an economy that has monetized heroism into a hustle.
But something stirs in the ruins of this privatized paradise. And when the line between myth and memory begins to blur, these worn-out warriors must decide whether legends are worth reigniting or left to die.

With the combined, award-winning genius of Mathieu Bablet and Guillaume Singelin, SHIN ZERO blends lush art, poignant humor, and emotional depth into a story that feels both timeless and current. Punchy, melancholic, and undeniably human, it is a dazzling dive into nostalgia and survival — tokusatsu, reimagined for a generation still waiting to transform.

SHIN ZERO isn’t just an exciting new graphic novel — it’s a requiem for forgotten heroes and a love letter to the sentai mythos.
