The Man Who Shook the Earth
November 23rd 2026
Let the operation commence!
The Operator was the world’s first masked crimefighter, starting from humble beginnings rescuing cats from trees to his 1970s pulp-style adventures, from his grim-and-gritty-1980s exploits to the extreme 90s team-ups and beyond!

Paul Tobin, writer of Bandette and Bunny Mask
“The Man Who Shook The Earth is a really solid work and a fun romp through comics history in a clever way.”
Kyle Starks, creator of Rock Candy Mountain and End Of Life

The Lexian Chronicles: Full Circle
November 18th 2026
Some doors are sealed for a reason.
For generations, the tribes of Alemar have held an uneasy peace — and Reena’s people, the Phoenix, have kept it. She’s the Chieftain’s daughter, young to be carrying it, and already the weight is being laid on her shoulders.
Then the exiled Leopard tribe returns — thought gone forever, back now with fire and blade — and an alliance built over lifetimes begins to collapse in days.
But when Reena digs into how they found their way home, she uncovers a hidden hand steering all of it from the shadows, set on erasing everything her people have made. Hunted and grieving, she takes up the path of her warrior ancestors to hunt it down — and what waits at the end is nothing she was raised to believe in. A discovery that overturns her world, and forges an alliance no one in Alemar could have dreamed possible.
Writer: Harry Gallan
