## 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.

## Description

Johnny Canuck is the first Canadian national hero, Canada's Captain America if you will. See, way back in 1942, a very young Leo Bachle and his active imagination created Johnny Canuck! Johnny's character was kind of a Jack of all trades, a flying ace and fighter, secret agent, and officer in the Canadian military. Most of the time, Johnny was saving "foreign beauties" and fought the axis on almost every war front. He met up with Hitler no fewer than three times and was trained in trapeze and boxing! Throughout his comics he travelled to Yugoslavia, Russia, Germany, Libya, Tibet, and China. It wasn't until the final issue that Johnny's story took place in Canada, and just off the coast of Halifax! Johnny's adventures are unforgettable, and although it's been 70 years, I promise when you read this book you won't be able to put it down!

## 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.

The protagonist, 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.

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

## Description

Miriam Libicki, an American Jewish girl from a religious home, enlists in the Israeli Army one summer against everyone’s better judgment. Many qualities seem to make her unsuited for IDF life: her Hebrew isn’t great, she is shy and passive, and she has a tendency to fall in love with anything that moves. If that weren’t enough, the Al Aqsa uprising, a.k.a the second Palestinian Intifada, erupts a few weeks after she is stationed as a secretary in a remote Negev base. Will Miriam survive threats of terrorism, the rough IDF culture, and not least, her horrible taste in men?

## Description

Hot on the success of No. 1, creator Verne Andru today announced the re-release his second Captain Cannabis comic book, "Roll Me Another One Just Like the Other."

"During seventy-seven, seventy-eight I did the second part of the Captain Cannabis story,” Verne said with the release. "It picks up from number one as Captain Cannabis spins out of control from the cosmic pot he smoked."

Verne continues, "I kept the essence of the original but redid the B-story, so it’s the same only much better. That lead me to redo the art so it’s all new. I’m super happy with the way it’s coming out."

The 22 pages of new-old Captain Cannabis story is complemented by the second part of “Angel,” a story also from No. 1 with six pages of previously unpublished vintage artwork by Verne Andru and Marvel artist George Freeman. In keeping with last year’s No. 1, No. 2 is a "40th Anniversary" release.

A young woman sits alone in her apartment, in which we see evidence of her formerly owning a now-deceased cat. She hears strange noises and sees evidence that cats have been in her apartment, but she can't find them.

The woman realizes she is being haunted by Ghost Cats, who appear to want her to follow them. She does so, and on the way down the street she sees another person walking with a ghost dog.

The Ghost Cats lead the woman to the site of a bag by a river, in which are two tiny cat skeletons, and she realizes the Ghost Cats wanted to show her where they died. She buries the skeletons and shows the Ghost Cats what it's like to be a cat, giving them treats and playing with them.

The Ghost Cats go with the woman to the beach and watch the sunset. They disappear, and the woman realizes she is sitting near the person who she earlier saw with the ghost dog, now also alone. The two people sit together.

## 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.

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.

Crown & Anchor is a sci-fi/fantasy maritime tale about three bumbling bounty hunters and their accidental acquisition of legendary Divine Tokens, dating back to the creation of their world.

Or... battle tigers. We won't judge.

Born, raised and currently residing in Mississauga, Andrew has always had a passion for drawing. Whether it was doodling in school or wasting every scrap of his father's printer paper, he always knew he wanted to be an artist.

After High School, he worked for several Security companies until finally going to college to receive his diploma in Video Game Design but instead of pursuing a career in the Gaming Industry, Andrew went back to his roots and began working from home as a Graphic Designer, working for several commercial and entertainment clients. His game design knowledge came in good use when he was hired to create design elements for an iOS mobile game "BubbleStarz".

In 2013, Andrew made his comic convention debut at the Niagara Falls Comic Con, where he was bitten by the "Con bug" and decided this was where he wanted to be.

In 2014, Andrew teamed up with writer Tristan Nall to publish their first comic, a post-apocalyptic sci-fi series called PostHuman. The series only lasted 1 issue, but it proved to be a stepping stone for Andrew's new career in Comics.

In 2015, Andrew met Davis Dewsbury and the two would go on to create Auric of Great White North, a an ongoing superhero series from Timmins, Ontario.

In 2016, Andrew joined Chapterhouse Publishing as their in-house lettering department and cover artist.

The rest is history...

## Description

*"Never ride the subway. Never leave midtown Manhattan. Stay inside after dark - no matter what!"*

*Frightmare City* is a monthly crime-horror hybrid comic from award-winning writer and filmmaker, AC Turner.

Recently, AC discovered *"Welcome To Fear City"*, a long forgotten pamphlet distributed by the NYPD. In it, a *Hooded Death's Head* warned readers to *"Stay away from New York"* as authorities grappled with uncontrollable violence that left the city teetering on the brink of bankruptcy.

Reading the pamphlet, AC thought "what if"?

What if *"Welcome To Fear City"* was actually a thinly veiled warning against something more sinister than conventional crime. Something more evil. Something that even the Police themselves couldn't handle.

With this in mind, AC began crafting his own nightmarish version of New York. A city where crimes are perpetrated and punished each in their own horrible way.

Welcome to Frightmare City. Population... you.

**Review:**

Satisfying and gruesome!  In the same vein as Creepshow and Tales from the Crypt, AC Turner brings us well-written, bone chilling tales of terror that flow from one to the next with a clear cohesiveness.

Five stars for this impressively polished, binge-worthy series.

Reviewer: Melissa Hannon - Horror Geek Life

**Review:**

AC Turner brings brutal, beautiful bites of horror to life with this wildly imaginative new series!

Five Stars for Frightmare City!

Reviewer: Will Blosser - Home Grown Horror

**Review:**

I just binge read Frightmare City and wish there was more! AC Turner's vision of New York City riddled with sex, violence, and crime is so up my alley it HURTS! I definitely recommend this series for some fast and fun horror!

Reviewer: Cidnya Silva - Cidnya Reads

**Review:**

Frightmare City is just the right combination of entertainment - a little horror - a little humour. Intriguing stories well told with beautiful artwork. I'm blown away. Highly recommended!

Reviewer: Shannon Sylvia - TV Host: My Horror Story, Paranormal State

**Review:**

AC Turner's New York is a terror filled landscape with flesh-hungry creatures feasting upon the wrong-doing citizens that inhabit it. Its an entertaining, cheeky and horrific world that I'd recommend to any fan of those classic monster comics you devour late at night.

Funded on Kickstarter

The first issue of the Hard Wyred comic series, created by Erik Bitmanis and Ross Zucco. Hard Wyred brings together a medley of action, cyber punk settings, and explosions for a humorous adventure through a fantastical online world.

## 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.
