These Savage States

Satire of politics within the realm of comics goes back to the golden age and over the years it has mirrored the social consciousness of the time. As the political landscape becomes more volatile so the reflection within comics must become more vicious. SKOTUS is a brutal look at the nature of politics as a […]

Fabled Four #1

The Fabled Four is a unique concept for a very special comic book story. As in many comic books, you have heroes and the adventures they must embark upon.
