Portfolio

CHiMERA

Our debut is CHiMERA, a 15-issue sci-fi thriller series......where mercenaries with the power to shapeshift into car-sized beasts are hunted down by a killer in Hawai'i, and it's up to detective and Chimera Akela Barrett to stop them.

This shapeshifting Hawaiian detective's got plenty of bite!

Moriarty's Wolves

an audio drama/stageplay musical horror centering around Ellie, the werewolf daughter of Moriarty, as she navigates protecting a city that hates her kind.

London's Wolves

Our international band assembled to bring the dark Victorian rock opera Moriarty’s Wolves to life...

…now expanding to all of our works!

STARHOUND

One pilot races against the heat death of the galaxy.

When a young galactic police cadet discovers that the galaxy’s transportation network is collapsing, he must team up with its enigmatic creator—a Precursor in hiding—to prevent a chain reaction of supernovas that would destroy everything he holds dear.

Things aren’t as they seem.
