LAPIN FACTORY

WHEN WE FALL GN
(W/A) Mr. Clement
Petit Lapin travels through time to collect a spaceship filled with cookie crumbs of broken relationships. Never running out of tragic missions, actions, romance and violence, Lapin's space travel finds himself tumbling through human misconnections. When We Fall envelopes these autobiographical fictions in an empty swimming pool of love where unattainability is abundant. (C: 0-0-1)

LAWDOG COMICS

BRING OUT YOUR DEAD VOLUME 1: IT TOLLS FOR THEE GN
(W/A) James Heffron (A) Manuel Penniche
Cyprus, 1208 CE. Plague has defiled a seaside dominion, and carts filled with the dead rattle through the cobbled streets. With supply lines dwindling, a tyrannical Count's desperation mounts. Worries of plague and provender suddenly give way to new horrors, when loved ones thought lost return — as something else. A farmer's daughter, a Templar Knight, an Eastern ambassador, a nun, an executioner — what could call upon such diversity to defend a dying village? Ask not for whom the bell tolls, for it tolls for thee! (C: 0-0-1)
