DIGITAL FIRST RELEASES
CITY IN THE DESERT #2 - Moro Rogers
Monster hunter Irro is perhaps the only person in Kevala making a good living. The city pays him and his tailed assistant, Hari, a bounty for each monster carcass they bring in. But one day, a religious sect known as The Way of Sacred Peace comes to Kevala to solve the monster problem by capping the city’s Spirit Fountain. Out of the job with all the monsters gone, Irro and Hari are determined to prove there is a more sinister plot behind Sacred Peace’s plan.

LAST DAYS OF AN IMMORTAL #2 - Fabien Vehlmann, Gwen De Bonneval
In the distant future, Elijah is a member of the ‘Philosophical Police,’ who must solve conflicts that arise out of ignorance of the Other. Two species are fighting a war with roots in a crime committed centuries ago, and Elijah must solve the crime and bring peace between their species while also confronting his own immortality in a world where science provides access to eternal life. In a world where death no longer exists, why do so many want to give up on life?
