Dipping into the Kickstarter pile again, I ran across another comic I’ve been meaning to read: The Adept, an intriguing martial arts story with a female lead.

Being a teenager has its own special trials and tribulations, but for Jesi/Which-Where, finding your identity has taken on a whole new meaning.

Diving back into the Kickstarter pile again, and what turns up, but one of my favorite artists: Stan Yak!

Magic and technology merge in this second issue of Hexware.

In a world deeply divided by the haves and have-nots, a wealthy family deals with the unimaginable—the murder of their only child.  

You might think I live under a rock, and, sometimes, I think I do, but I came into this graphic novel cold. I’d heard the name before, and though I’m not a big fan of horror, I like to expand my horizons. I’m happy to say I was glad I chose this story.

Can you say action? Cool settings? Magic that has nothing to do with European elves, wizards, and witches?

The journey home has brought Edward grief and much worse. His father - the king - is a vampire. As a young man, the king was determined to wipe out all the witches from his kingdom, but one survived long enough to offer the king everything he wished for: a throne and the power that goes with it.

While Edward learns how to control his ability to shift from human to unicorn and back again, a raven delivers a most unexpected message: His father - the king - is alive. And not only that, the king wants him to come home.

In a future that might be our own, an unknown race a million light years away signals for help while sending along the plans for something called forge gate technology. This technology will allow us to travel light years away from Earth (through a series of jumps) in the hope that we will eventually arrive at this unknown destination (a.k.a. The Terminus). (Think Stargate.)
