Twitter: @JamaalHarley

An assassin's mission nosedives when she is drugged with alien blood that blurs the lines between memories & reality.

The Ballad of Valkyrie Sinclaire is an ongoing cyberpunk, action, and dystopian sci-fi comic series for fans of Aeon Flux, 5th Element, Blade Runner, and Battle Angel Alita. Decades ago a team of superheroes failed to save the world from an alien invasion. However, the Earth and humanity were spared when a civil war broke out, for unknown reasons, amongst the invaders who departed shortly after.  Now, in the present, human society is irrevocably altered by the alien tech left behind, and the surviving superheroes of the invasion recruit the next generation of heroes to take the fight to the invaders. However, generational tensions arise when the plan blurs the line between justice and revenge.

Death of a Necromancer: A Rural-Fantasy Graphic Novel by Nick Bryan & Robert Ahmad

Twitter: @NickMB, @rob_ahmad_art, @davidbcooper and @dc_hopkins

A mighty gothic tome about the arrival of necromancy in a small English town.

When Ralph Foster gets a job as head chef for Deadless Chicken, a new takeaway shop in his lifelong hometown of Tibbin, he doesn’t expect it to demand much of him. Until he dies in an unfortunate accident on the way out of the interview. Because shop owner Dr Victoria Hedgewood is a necromancer, and the chickens out back aren’t just a source of tasty wings. Before they’re southern-fried, she sacrifices them to her dark god to raise departed locals from the dead — as long as their family and friends can afford her reasonable fee.
