A Hollywood revenge story about Pinky and the famous movie producer she's out to kill ... who just happens to be her father.

Pat O’Malley, Santi Guillen, and Punch Publising bring you a neon-bathed, neo-noir, Tarantino-style thrill-ride.

TARHEEL TALES OF TERROR #1

Blood-chilling tales of old North Carolina brought to you by Jeremy Clos and @fionawdunn!

Hearkening back to horror comics of the 50s and 60s, this 24-page comic illustrated in chillingly stark black and white explores North Carolina myths, legends, and ghost stories.

From the @kickstarter:

"Around the shadowy bends of the highways and byways of North Carolina lurk dark things of foreboding myths and legends. Early European accounts of North Carolina relate it as “The goodliest land under the cope of heaven,” but these early settlers knew nothing of the dark forces which the native inhabitants knew lurked in the dark.  And, as each new culture arrived in The Old North State, stories followed them from their native lands, bringing tales of creatures and ghosts that can chill the soul."

I'm Brien Cardello and I've been lucky enough to have known and worked with Bundy for almost 20 years.  I hate that this will be the very last one, but I'm gonna do right by the big man.  I hope you'll join us your this very special main event!

Welcome to the VI EMPIRE!

A mysterious child. A grizzled veteran. A desperate hunt. A vampire enemy. A galactic war. The collected edition of THE VI EMPIRE!

Ron Marz and Creation.Ink are proud to present, for the first time in print,  the deluxe hardcover collection of The Vi Empire, by the creative team of Max Akbar, Stuart Moore and Val Semeiks, with new cover art created by industry superstar Paul Pelletier!

From the Kickstarter:

"It begins with a baby...

Buried and alone, yet somehow alive in the frozen tundra of the Alaskan wastelands. APOLLONIA was the very last thing veteran JOHN HALLDOR ever wanted or needed in his solitary existence.  She was a mystery; a burden. A man chooses to live in the deep cold to escape other people, after all; not to raise one.

To his credit, considering the events of the coming years, John Halldor never once regretted taking in the infant and raising her as his own. Not when he realized Apollonia was immune to the cold; nor when she began exhibiting levels of strength far beyond what a normal human girl should possess.

Not even when Apollonia spurned human food, subsisting on a diet of nothing but blood. Whatever else she was: human, vampire or something never before seen, Apollonia was his daughter, come hell or highwater. And sure enough, hell soon came knocking..."
