Roche Limit is finally collected here in one hardcover edition, with a brand-new introduction and extra material from writer Michael Moreci. Back this campaign and return to the sci-fi classic, or discover it for the first time!

Roche Limit, a colony situated on the cusp of a mysterious energy anomaly, is a melting pot of crime and terrible secrets. When Bekkah Hudson goes missing, the search to find her will plunge her sister and a cadre of the colony’s underworld figures into an odyssey that reveals a grim future for mankind.

THE UNDERCLASS – 80 Page Graphic Novel by Kane Gallagher
SIN CITY meets DEADLY CLASS in this hardcore, gritty series of crime stories from the underworld of NORTH ALVA CITY HIGH SCHOOL
School’s in session. The cost of failure? Your life!
At Alva High, the classes are a joke, the teachers don’t care, and the real lessons are taught in blood. Gangs rule the halls, handpicked by crime syndicates to become the next generation of killers, dealers, and pimps. If you’re not affiliated, you’re prey.
When new student Frank walks through the gates of North Alva High, he thinks he’s starting over. Instead, he’s entering a war zone run by gangs, where every student is either affiliated, bought, or broken.
From the first bell, he’s targeted, beaten by the school mafia. His only solace is Yukio—a sharp, guarded girl with secrets of her own. The daughter of Alva City’s Yakuza kingpin, she was meant to rule, but it’s her younger sister who commands the gang with ruthless precision. Yukio wants out. So does the Freshman.
But there’s no out. Only deeper in.
When Yukio is forced to brand him—burning an “F” into his face to mark him as nothing—something inside the Freshman shatters. What follows is a violent reckoning igniting a gang war that engulfs the entire school.
THE UNDERCLASS is an 80-PAGE graphic novel containing four stories of revenge, survival, and ultra-violence from writer and illustrator KANE GALLAGHER. It is a savage, unflinching descent into a corrupt education system turned battlefield, where only one lesson matters—kill or be killed.

American Yakuza – Acts 1-4 of our Japanese murder-mystery!
Xavier seeks a killer, Masashi craves the American Dream, and Kyomi wants justice—but in Japan’s underworld, survival comes first…
From the shadows of neon-soaked streets to the bloodlines of old crime families, American Yakuza is a noir-infused murder mystery drenched in culture, betrayal, and brutal beauty. Created by Charlie McElvy, Anthony Stokes, and Chris Moses, and brought to life with stunning visual storytelling, this is a saga that’s equal parts Yakuza video game energy and prestige TV pacing.
Our story follows Xavier, a retired American MMA champion who arrives in Japan searching for answers about a friend’s death—and finds himself entangled in the deadly politics of a crumbling yakuza dynasty. Each act has pushed him deeper into the spider’s web, and now…well, something’s gotta give.
Act IV is the turning point. The alliances are unstable. The enemies are many. And nobody walks away unscathed.
We’re diving into the final beats of this first series, with only one more chapter to go before we close the curtain on this world-spanning epic. Expect jaw-dropping reveals, character-defining choices, and moments that will have you yelling at the page (in the best way).
But don’t worry—we’re keeping this campaign description spoiler-free for newcomers. If you are new to the series, you can catch up with Acts I-III (available as part of this campaign), and if you’ve been here since the beginning… you already know it’s about to get wild.

Your Wings and Mine Volumes 1 and 2
Volumes 1 and 2 of hakeism’s hit Webtoon series!
Your Wings and Mine follows Shealtiel, an angel on the verge of exile after repeatedly failing his missions.
Desperate to prove himself and earn his team manager’s approval, he’s sent to the human realm to eliminate Luciferen, a demon prince with a love for magical girls.
But as Luciferen’s laid-back nature clashes with Shealtiel’s sense of duty, the angel begins to question his purpose and whether he deserves love at all.
The goal of the Kickstarter is to get the comic formatted for print and into your hands as quickly as possible! The more we raise the more stretch goals we can offer, which will be revealed as the campaign progresses. We think everyone will be pleasantly surprised by each!
So, what am I getting for my pledge? All backers at the $44 tier will receive the Volumes 1 and 2 softcover graphic novels featuring episodes 1 through 20 as seen on Webtoons. Books will be printed at 5.7″x8.2″ – with each having approximately 180 pages of content (approximately 360+ pages total combined)! Please note: both books are being produced at the same time, so if you back them both you’ll receive them together.
In the interest of transparency, it should be noted that we have been given permission from Kickstarter to run a higher frequency of campaigns across our brands as an “experienced creator in good standing”. To make sure all current and potential Backers are fully informed of all our ongoing projects, we will be consistently updating a public Project Pipeline Tracker (which can be found and viewed below after the “Follow Us” section) to reflect our most current campaign list and fulfillment level for each and every project!

The Witch’s Egg by Donya Todd
A gorgeous intergenerational family story of promises made, promises kept, and a mother who would do anything to protect her daughters.
With this campaign we’re funding a brand new graphic novel from the amazing Donya Todd… we published Buttertubs by Donya back in 2015 and we’re absolutely thrilled to be working on a new book with her this year.
The Witch’s Egg is a gorgeous intergenerational family story of promises made, promises kept, and a mother who would do anything to protect her daughters.
Witches and angels aren’t allowed to have children. When Urfi defies this, it’ll take her life’s work to make it right.
It was a spiderweb moon
And the imps did wonder
What dark delights wouldst the cat-witch conjure
By the Sardine Queen, by salt and the devil, by blackwormy earth, and by the deep, dark sea, the catwitch Urfi conjures an angel to love her and have children with her. But angels aren’t meant for love, and with the embryonic egg of their unborn children, Urfi flees from her partner’s violence, enduring terrible trials to find a new and safe home in the faery forest.
As her children, Isobel, Batzel, and Mazel, grow up with her, they find the horrors their mother endured during her flight to the forest returning to their lives — this time for the three of them to defeat for good. With secret magic, solemn bonds of friendship, and sisterhood, they can at last stand against the threat of the angels’ terror and insanity in this dark fairytale of motherhood, magic, and apocalyptic romance.
