COMING SOON: 'Oswald and the Star-Chaser' by Tommy Kulik, Tyler Villano Maron, Tom Hoskisson, and Rebecca Good

Following a list of his childhood heroes, a young space knight ventures across the stars with an enigmatic mercenary to reclaim their fallen kingdom from evil. Twenty years ago, the United States government and the superheroes of F.I.R.E. rounded up and burned Torn from his training after King FEK usurped the throne, and space knight Oswald Bretters embarks on a quest to save the Star Lands!

It's 'Lost in Space' through the eyes of David Cronenberg. Jeffrey Burandt introduces us to a soon-to-be blended family with one side still mourning the loss of a mother. A lot of resentment is displayed by one daughter and the pain to her is still raw. The dynamics of these people ground the story in genuine ways developing these characters that are empathetic and complex. It's the perfect set-u...
