## Description

Some time in the 80's a human woman made love to a space monkey. Eight months later a lunarbaboon was born.

Lunarbaboon is married and has one child. He works as a school teacher and lives a life similar to most North American humans.He is different from you though in a few distinct ways. Lunarbaboon has too many pubes. His body hair count is outrageous. When he eats he never really feels full. He poops 4 to 5 times a day and rarely smells his fingers after. Lunarbaboon is very fast, enjoys foods wrapped inside a taco shell, and never drinks with a straw(even when a straw is required). He is hardly ever satisfied with anything. He pretends to be nice and like human people, but generally he does not like most people. This makes lunarbaboon feel bad about himself.

Lunarbaboon currently lives in Toronto, a city full of humans.

Volume 2 contains over 100 comics from the second year of Lunarbaboon with foreword by Kris & Dave of Cyanide and Happiness.

Published by Great North Comics

## Description

In 1912, in a small mining town in Northern Ontario, Canada, a mysterious gas was unleashed from within the cavernous depths of a booming gold mine. Exposing all workers inside and countless others as it escaped to the outer northern atmosphere, the course of history changed forever.

On that tragic day, one brave man risked his life in an attempt to save others. That selfless hero fought through the pain and pulled several of his friends and coworkers out of the mine, and to what he assumed was safety. Despite his heroics, it was too late for them all. Many of the transformations were instantaneous but each and every one exposed, changed into evil beasts, cursed forever with the bodies and souls of monsters.

As our hero fell to the ground, writhing in pain and expecting his inevitable fate, something magical occurred. A Northern Goddess appeared and bestowed upon him the ability to control the beast inside. The Goddess also told Auric that it was his destiny to save the north from all the evil that was created that day.

Now it’s 2015 and it’s been a decade since Auric slayed the last beast and saved the North from it’s century-long battle against evil. But with the recent re-emergence of the monsters, our hero has returned to fight for his people. Now, in his golden years, Auric begins to assemble a new team and struggles to battle a new generation of monsters, all while dealing with the fact that he is no longer in his prime.

Is Auric losing the faith of the very people he dedicated his life to protect? And what will happen when a familiar face from Auric’s past makes an unexpected return to the public eye?

You can help the ongoing development of Folklore (and perhaps become a part of its world) by supporting its creators on Patreon.

## Description

At the height of its power the Federation represented unity and hope for the future. It was meant to be the start of a utopia. No one could imagine the cancer eating away at the heart of its leadership.

When the world’s most powerful empire collapsed into civil war, it did not take long for humanity to become engulfed in conflict on a global scale. In a desperate attempt to stop the fighting a weapon was deployed. It was designed to strip the power from every living superhuman, creating an equilibrium between humanity and those who claimed to be gods. For many, it worked. They become ordinary humans with only the memory of their wondrous gifts. Others died, torn apart by the powers they once were able to command. The rest were twisted into something new. Abominable reflections of the gifts that defined them...

Folklore is a superhuman horror story, focused on a small band of survivors trying to navigate a war-torn world in the aftermath of the Federation’s collapse.

In issue Six, Detective Barbary and former-heavyweight boxer Altheo Givens figure out who sabotaged Doug Hawthorne’s Challenger during the movie shoot, causing the mechanic to die.

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.

## Basic Info

Gaia Force Official Website

Published by New Heroes Comics

Gaia Force also has their entry in the New Heroes Database

## Description

Gaia Force is a group of super human beings created by the entity known as The Guardian.

It was on Earth on December 21, 2012 that the Guardian made his presence known. Having heard the pangs of pain of the planet, he had come to investigate and he learned that the planet was one of many in the universe that possessed a soul. Although its inhabitants had called it Earth, the planet’s soul was called Gaia.

She had given rise to many forms of life, one of which was called Man, but unlike all her other children, Man had turned away and had made himself supreme ruler of the planet. He had claimed the land, the oceans and even the skies, causing the balance that Gaia had established to topple. Man had raped the planet of its resources, destroyed countless number of habitats and caused the extinction of thousands of species, all of which had made Gaia too weak to retaliate. So the Guardian had intervened.

He healed the planet and created Gaia Force to watch over her. Their mission is to protect Gaia from her enemies. Gaia Force is based primarily at the Citadel on the dark side of the Moon but their territory extends as far as the edge of the heliosphere.

Some three centuries later, Gaia announced that Gaia Force had fulfilled its duty towards her and the team disbanded.  Although some decided to remain by Gaia’s side, most set out among the stars to find their own destinies.

## Members

The primary members are

Avatar Prime, Meridian, Silverlance, Farpoint, Hartree, Roguestar and Night Storm.

The Citadel members are Renshi, Arkahnus and Nicci.

Caregiver is also a primary member but her position as Gaia's voice keeps her Earthbound.

## Appearance

Gaia Force was first introduced in the novel Grey Legacy by Lawrenz Lano.

Their second appearance was in The Gaia Force Source Book by Lawrenz Lano. Art by John Becaro.
The French version is entitled Livre de Référence de Gaia Force .

Their most recent appearance is in the comic book entitled The Return of Gaia Force #1 and Return of Gaia Force #2 published by New Heroes Comics. There has been three versions of this comic. Along with the English version there is also a French and Black and White version. Art by Luis Rivera.

## 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.

FALLEN #2 is a 22 page, full colour second issue of an ongoing series printed on standard American sized comic format on high quality paper.  Fallen will blend the genres of mystery and fantasy by creating a thrilling mythological detective story. The story takes place in the vibrant, synth-pop filled era of the 1980’s in the loud, crowded streets of New York City.

## Description

Where It All Began…

Fallen is a 22-page, full colour issue that will be part of a 6-issue mini-series. Fallen blends the genres of mystery, thriller, and fantasy by creating a thrilling mythological detective story. The story takes place in the vibrant, synth-pop filled era of the 1980’s in the loud, crowded streets of New York City. Created and written by Matt Ringel, and art done by Henry Ponciano (Alterna Comics Tinsel Town, The Devil Within, Seven Legions) and lettering done by Toben Racicot.

Over a millennia ago, gods spanning from many different ancient religions were cast down to Earth from their ethereal realms in an event they called The Descent. Cut off from many their divine powers and their godly kin, they walked the world as immortals. The Greek, Norse, Shinto, and Aztec gods maintained a tenuous alliance for many years before descending into conflict. Eventually a ceasefire was reached, and rules were set in place to prevent another conflict. One of the primary rules was that the gods could no longer directly influence the mortal world, but many found a workaround. Several gods chose wards, a human that they bestowed with vigor, immortality, so that the wards could do their bidding in the world without drawing attention to the gods.

Flash forward to 1986’s New York City, the divine clans of the gods have become crime families controlling the lawless underworld. When Zeus is murdered at the hands of a mysterious killer. Casper Clay, Zeus’ ward, an ancient soldier turned private detective must find the answers. Who killed Zeus and how did they kill a god? Casper will have to navigate those same lawless underworlds he was once part of but this time without the support of the Olympian family behind him. As he gets closer to the truth, he learns that there may be more at stake than finding justice for Zeus, the realms of man and god hang in the balance.
