The Fury, The Maelstrom, and The Kiwi

by M.H. Cali, Elsa Charretier, Liana Kangas, Skylar Patridge, Alison Sampson & many more

This is a story about revenge.
A story about having nothing left to lose.
This is definitely not a tale about redemption.
Because once you’ve fallen this far, there’s no way back. Darkness will consume you until your soul is dimmed, and your ideals have vanished.
You’ve been warned.

It's Kill Bill meets Atomic Blonde in this sapphic spy tale by an all-star lineup of creators.

Los Ojos

by Trevor Mueller

It’s John Wick meets John Constantine: one man with two guns fighting his demons both literal and imaginary!

Andres Sanchez is a hitman for hire with a special ability - when he looks people in los ojos (the eyes) he doesn’t see them as human, he sees them as angels or demons. He believes demons walk among us disguised as people, and he uses his ability to select his targets, only killing those he thinks are monsters. But lately he’s started to question if his special sight is showing him the truth, or if he’s just crazy.

Haunted by the possibility that he may be killing people and not monsters, Andres now has to rethink his powers and his profession. At the same time, he’s balancing his crusade against evil while also taking on responsibilities as a surrogate father, all while secretly being hunted by the FBI, and a mysterious organization of assassins whose skills rival his own!

Los Ojos is a 132 page full color graphic novel for mature readers from award-winning writer Trevor Mueller and artist Francesco Iaquinta!
