Supernatural adult horror in feudal Japan. A half-demon warrior hunts the truth about her bloodline. Brutal, sensual, and unforgiving. Four issues are currently available; issue five will be launched on Kickstarter this fall. Art by Branko Jovanovic, colors by Thyago Brandao.
Annabelle doesn’t just hunt monsters—she eats them. And every time she does, she changes. Gains something. Strength. Speed. Night vision. She doesn’t know what she’s becoming, only that it’s the only way to get answers—and revenge. After witnessing her brothers torn apart by a creature no one believes is real, Annabelle "the cannibal" sets out on a brutal path of survival and retribution. Each kill brings her closer to the truth—and further from who she used to be. I Eat Monsters is a pulpy, violent horror series about transformation, trauma, and the hunger to fight back. Issues 1–3 are available now in digital.
Standstill: Volume 1 (Issues 1–6) The world stopped—literally. People froze mid-step, mid-sentence, mid-scream. A global paralysis event leaves billions locked in place while a handful of survivors are left to fend for themselves in a world where nothing works, no one’s coming to help, and something alien is spreading through the silence. Power grids fail. Nuclear plants teeter. The food chain snaps. But worse than the collapse is what moves through the frozen masses—feeding, breeding, and transforming the rules of nature. Mason, a former combat medic, is one of the few still able to move. He’s got a backpack full of trauma and an unconscious fiancée to protect as he navigates the wreckage of human civilization—and the monsters replacing it. Standstill Volume 1 collects issues 1–6 of the full 12-issue series. This is survival horror with teeth—brutal, bleak, and uncomfortably real. Available in print and digital.
Standstill: Volume 2 (Issues 7–12) The collapse was just the beginning. In Volume 2, the horror mutates. Survivors are fewer. The invasive species isn’t just feeding—it’s evolving, adapting, nesting in the bodies of the paralyzed. The frozen dead become something else entirely. Mason’s mission to protect his fiancée turns into a brutal journey through abandoned cities, overrun shelters, and weaponized science gone wrong. The deeper he goes, the more he learns: this wasn’t random. It was engineered. And humanity has already lost its place at the top of the food chain. Standstill Volume 2 collects issues 7–12 and brings the series to its devastating conclusion. For readers of The Last of Us, The Thing, and 28 Days Later, this is a final descent into survival horror, mutation, and hard truths.
