"Cosmic Callisto Caprica, or Cosmo for short, is having the night of her life. On the same evening that she receives her junior detective's license, Cosmo is assigned to her first case. For her first case Cosmo will travel to the luxury space station The Titian to investigate a robbery. The luxurious rings of Saturn have been stolen! The owner of the rings, Princess Rhea, a Martian of royal decent, desperately needs her rings back. Cosmo will have to follow all of the clues in order to solve her first case."
"The TEMPLE OF ART documentary will provide an insightful look into the lives of some of our favorite working artists by following the progress of the collaborations from conception to completion, alongside interviews with the artists themselves. Not to mention our panel at this year’s Comic Con, the opening at La Luz de Jesus, the Baby Tattoo book launch, and future events designed to gather the artists together to talk about what informs, inspires, and motivates them. And how they’ve hacked a life that is both sustained and intensified by making art."
"Men vs Cosplay is launching it's second annual calendar and highlighting some of the very best the male costuming community has to offer as Heroes and Villains! Our team reached out to our community page, convention-goers, and cosplayers, and we're putting together a roster that brings our favorite characters to life - plucked from television, comic books, video games, and more. We work not only with cosplayers from around the world, but photographers as well. This helps us cut costs (versus the incredible expense of flying every cosplayer down to use a photographer of our own), and allows us to feature many different talented photographers. The Heroes vs Villains calendar also acts as a showcase piece for the amazing talent involved! Here is a breakdown of the planning process that went into designing the calendar to make it handsome and functional."
"When an unsuspecting young girl finds herself transported to a mystical world, she must rely on her trusty shovel and quick wits to find her way home. After digging up a strange portal in her backyard, budding young archaeologist Wendy falls through time into a strange new land. She quickly discovers that her best chance of returning home is to rescue Alonna, a princess who has gone missing from the kingdom. Her goal in mind, Wendy sets about resolving the problem the best way she knows how – by digging of course!
The Hole Story is a top-down RPG fantasy adventure created by a talented group of young female designers. Players solve puzzles by exploring the world and digging up clues in order to move on. As you progress through 15 increasingly difficult challenges, you’ll meet a host of humorous characters, unlock secret levels, and earn experience that can be put towards player customization and gear upgrades. Furthermore, clue and item locations are entirely randomized, so no two experiences will ever feel the same!"
**Eisner Nominated Series!**
"WATSON AND HOLMES, conceived by New Paradigm Studios' Publisher BRANDON PERLOW and writer/artist PAUL MENDOZA, is a re-envisioning of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson as African Americans living in New York City's famous Harlem district. Watson, an Afghanistan war vet, works in an inner-city clinic; Holmes, a local P.I. who takes unusual cases."
