Comics. UFOs. Assassin’s. Powers. You name it.
Hey Gang!
Lots of projects I've been working on over the past year or two are coming out now. Including a new project from my wife and partner, Taki Soma.
Here’s a quick breakdown of all my latest projects, with easy links so you can grab what you want. Share this with a friend if you think they’d like it too!
William of Newbury
Loosely based on real events in 12th century England during what was known as “The Anarchy.” A time where the country was beset with plague, civil war, and demons.
William of Newbury is a neurotic monk, fearful of the earthly world, but confident and unwavering in the face of true evil. He fights the dead to restore peace, but his brother is intent on stopping him, fearing for his soul. Newbury is dark, yet quaint, deadly yet cute. Follow him as he negotiates with thieves, evades his brother and the church, and battles the undead and evil spirits.
This is a tale fit for lovers of history and supernatural folklore of all ages.
