## Description

Equal parts action and drama, *Earthsong*is one of the longest running epic fantasy webcomics on the internet!  It has been free to read at  earthsongsaga.com for 12 years and concluded October 2016

The *planets* are living powerful beings and the sentient species that occupy their surfaces are their *children*. They face a crisis when their *elemental lifeblood* begins to seep into the children, eventually culminizing into a *soulstone* which gives them great powers, but at the cost of their life and eventually that of the planets’ too. One childless planet, Earthsong, is given the task of retrieving these children from their homeworlds and bringing them to her surface where they are safe. She is given tools made of *Siderean*, or star, element which allow her to remove the soulstone from its host and both back to their planet of origin. Visiting children remember little of their previous lives while on Earthsong and when they return they recall only glimmers of what occurred during their time away. These individuals often build up legends and myths around their strange and fragmented memories of alien species.

## Description

The mysterious Mr. Bacon and the beautiful Maggie Leduc interfere in Johnny Bullet's stay in Cross Roads.

A brash but clever professional auto- racer becomes suspect number one and the target of death threats after evading the suspicious murder of his best friend. Set in the 1970s Johnny Bullet has problems with cars, bad guys, and bad women.

## Johnny Bullet en français

Un homme et sa bagnole

L’histoire principale se déroule en 1974. Johnny Bullet est pilote automobile et cascadeur. L’intrigue est lancée dès les premières pages. Son mentor le remplace dans une cascade, perd le contrôle et meurt dans un accident. Johnny réalise rapidement que la voiture a été sabotée. Néanmoins, il s’enfuit subitement dans le Sud des États-Unis pour participer à un concours. Mais durant sa route, il trouvera sur son chemin quelques entraves et des pilotes de bagnoles qui le mettent au défi. Le tout semble relié, mais ne sait pas trop, car Johnny Bullet est vite jeté en prison!

Johnny Bullet est pour le lecteur de bandes dessinées qui veut essayer quelque chose de différent mais avec un certain classicisme. C’est une bédé qui emprunte la simplicité d’une époque antérieure avec un traitement contemporain. C’est ce que je nomme de la bande dessinée néoclassique. Comme d’autres mouvements néoclassiques, cette bande dessinée intègre les formes stylistiques du passé dans un cachet postmoderne.

## Description

The year is 2035. Echo City is an economic superpower. Over four years have passed since a chemical plant explosion left many genetically mutated or 'tweaked' as most people like to call them. Tweaks have been forced to work in physically-intensive industries like construction and mining thanks to the Echo City Incident Survivor’s Registration Act. This exploitative law forces tweaks to work hard labor for less than decent pay. The city hired a "peace-keeping" private military contract named XPEL to take care of the tweaks who didn’t like the idea.

Adrian Avery, lives an unfulfilled life taking crap from his boss working as a forensic accountant. He can't find the evidence to keep Lionheart in jail. Lionheart is a dangerous tweak extremist that wants to impose his own sense of order in Echo City. Authorities want to catch him. If they find him and there's no silver bullet, Lionheart will pay top-notch lawyers and judges to reduce his sentencing. Adrian wants to get some evidence so that he can at least get a promotion and hence some sense of fulfillment in his life.

One day coming home from work, his brother Martin (a tweak renegade) proposes that he steals advanced armour from XPEL. The armour is advanced enough so that a norm (such as Adrian) can take heavy hits from tweaks. With the armour, Adrian can fight his way into one of Lionheart's bases and steal enough evidence to put Lionheart behind bars for good.

Using the armour that he stole, Adrian embarks on a mission to bring Lionheart down.

But as Adrian gets closer to finding the dirt he needs, he finds an ugly truth about Echo City.

Ghost Cats episode 2

Written by **Brian FH Clement**

Art, Colours & Letters by **Arinn Westendorf**

## Description

A man sits alone in his large house, reading Poems of Woe during a thunderstorm. After he goes to bed, he is unable to sleep due to strange noises. Investigating the sounds, he is startled by the Ghost Cats, who attempt to befriend him, but he leaps across his bed and is knocked unconscious by the fall.

After coming to, he sees no sign of the Ghost Cats and gets back in bed. The next morning, the Ghost Cats have curled up to sleep on his bed, which infuriates the man. He resolves to try occult methods to rid himself of the Ghost Cats.

The man attempts to use ghost repellent, and then a Circle of Protection, and then a crucifix. None of the methods work, which makes the man progressively angrier. He calls Paranormal Investigators, who find no sign of the Ghost Cats. After their departure, the Ghost Cats return, and the man is infuriated. He calls a Spirit Medium, who he hopes will exorcise the Ghost Cats from his home.

During a seance, the Spirit Medium calls the Ghost Cats, who show the man a vision of himself as a child. He remembers being a boy and having his beloved pet cat run over by a car, and his subsequent rejection of a new cat, which led to lifelong resentment against all cats.

Having made peace with the Ghost Cats, the man visits the grave of his pet cat Mister Sniffles in a pet cemetery. Mister Sniffles returns to visit the man, who holds Mister Sniffles in his arms one final time before bidding his cat a final farewell.

Welcome to Legacy.

Once nicknamed the North Star City, for years Legacy has been a shining example to the rest of the world; a leader in the arts and sciences, a place where anything was possible.

Until recent years.

Over the last decade, Legacy has slowly been in decline, as though a cancer is eating away at the great metropolis. Small businesses are being closed or bought out by heartless corporations; crime has exploded throughout the city, spilling on to the streets. The police do their best, but cutbacks and corruption at the highest levels have severely curbed their ability to serve and protect.

Legacy is a city in need of hope, of inspiration, of a guardian that will save not only the people but the soul of the city…

Roll Me Another One

Captain Cannabis No. 1 40th Anniversary edition brings the original 1977 Captain Comic book into the 21st century. Creator Verne Andru painstakingly digitized, cleaned up and airbrushed the original 16 black-and-white artwork pages giving them a vibrance and polish that makes the story seem to jump from the pages. He took the same care with the story, taking several continuity passes ensuring this epic story starts with a bang!

And what a story! In this issue we meet young Hal Lighter and sweetheart Marion Jones as they become entangled in a tale of mystery and intrigue spanning time and space. After she is abducted, mysterious glowing reefer starts transforming reluctant hero Hal into Captain Cannabis, a "superhero" on a mission.

Filling out the 28 pages (including covers) is a seven page comic book story by Verne Andru titled "Angel." Written and illustrated after Captain Cannabis, it follows the lone survivor of a space shuttle crash struggling for survival on an alien planet armed only with her wits. As a special treat, the last 3 pages feature artwork by artist extraordinaire George Freeman. Angel first appeared in "The Canadian Graphic Collector #4" during 1978.

A trip into Sam's past. Both regret and motivation offer deepened insights as to why Sam pursues personal answers. Integral pieces begin to fall in place about the attack. Lines are blurred between who's in the right and who is deserving of trust.

## Description

Set in the not-so-distant future, the internet has grown to the point where people now hook themselves up to it, and live out their lives without ever having to go back to the real world.

In this online world, we’ve created a world that depicts the future we have always imagined. Massively tall buildings that scratch at clouds, flying cars, amazingly quick transport. Sounds pretty great, huh? Well, one person doesn’t think so. And that would be our hero. Sam Wyerznowski.

Sam here,  Sam was originally part of the creation of this online world. However, none of that matters to him now. Sam only wants to redeem himself in the eyes of his long term crush. Katie. Something that looks nigh impossible thanks to Sam’s previous interaction with her.

Not only that, but Sam has recently been on a leave of absence, or what some people are referring to as a “forced retirement.” This retirement was brought on by events **completely in** Sam’s control. And I mean completely.

Yet, when one of the research facilities of Sam’s previous employer, Ms. Teller, is attacked, she has no choice but to turn to the one person who can help her. That person was unfortunately unavailable, so now she is stuck with Sam. Can Sam shake off the rust in time to survive this whole ordeal? Will he get a shot to prove Katie his worth? Or is he about to discover the problem he’s stumbling into is much larger than he could have ever imagined? (Spoilers: it is!)

There’s one more chance to re-connect.

Welcome to the Interface. Forget your dreadful day to day life in the slowly decaying city. Forget that all jobs have been automated through the robot workforce and that your life is a whirlpool of numbing boredom. The Interface will provide you with all the entertainment you will ever need. Well as much as your daily quota allows. But don't worry! There is one job that will pay you in Interface time. Join Transcervical today! We ask so little...

***Tales from the Interface No.2*** continues delving into the worlds generated by the Interface. The format of the book can be compared to an anthology, with every chapter drawn in a different style that serves storytelling. The stories are linked together by Gauthier, the main protagonist, who can be spectator or participant, similarly to watching a movie vs playing a game. While the general theme is virtual reality, stories touch on a variety of themes, such has genetics, robotics... There is also a fair dose of giant monster action. It draws inspiration from classic short sci-fi/fantasy stories, but with a dash of surrealism.
