At the dawn of the 20th century some of the best known and greatest literary adventurers from the likes of H.G. Wells, Jules Verne, Arthur Conan Doyle, Edgar Rice Burroughs, and H Rider Haggard were created. Sherlock Holmes, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, The Invisible Man, Journey to the Center of the Earth, The Time Machine, The Island of Dr. Moreau. All thought to be the work of pure fiction over the years by the public. However Charles Fort, the famous collector of all things bizarre and supernatural, had discovered an ancient book that when opened manifests the ideas in one's mind into reality. And in the presence of these great writers the world as we know it was changed forever. Now, a century later, the descendants of those famous adventurers are recruited by the legendary Professor Challenger in order to stop the book from being opened again...and irreversibly changing the present.

London 1942. The true horror wasn't from the air or in the streets...it was underground. As German bombs pummel the city of London, the leaves of autumn begin to fall and so do the victims. A young boy's fascination with a local serial killer will plunge him into a life-long obsession. The story of Autumn is a number of things: a coming of age story, a tale of revenge, a study in obsession, and a post war Gothic horror story. Set in and under London, the main characters are not the victims, the hero, or even the serial killer, but the dark underground labyrinth. After nine years of autumnal atrocities, James Turrell descends into the stygian abyss of the Underground, believing himself fully prepared and ready to confront the object of his obsession and revenge. But he isn't... Collects issues 1-3

So, you think you know the truth about magic? Wicca, Voodoo, Chaos, Tarot...call it what you will...but it is much different than believed. There are fundamental elements at work on our everyday lives so powerful, so dangerous and cosmic, and they threaten to tear the very fabric of reality asunder. But who guards us against this impending onslaught? The Disciples, a misfit group of old and new school seers, magicians, and wielders of the Black Arts whose own internal politics pose as great a threat to their survival as any outside influence. The Disciples are in the front line as their magic can be perceived on two distinct levels - in the human world they can effect change, control probability, perform conjuring tricks, etc. - but in the astral plane, the ether of magic, they can be very powerful weapons. And they are the only ones with this ability. And the Knights Templar want it in order to ressurect a god and dominate this world. "e;Smart, sharp, and dynamic. The Disciples is one of the most impressive debuts I've seen in a long time."e; - Katherine Keller, Sequential Tart. "e;I'm really impressed with the total package of The Disciples. This is really a promising debut to a series and if they keep this up, I think this may be one of the next big, talked about series."e; - Greg McElhatton, iComics. Collects issues 1-4.
