An all new original graphic novel packed with as much heart as epic combat from rising comic stars Juni Ba (Djeliya, Monkey Meat) and Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou (PanelxPanel)! Join a brave young monster and their grouchy mentor on a heartfelt quest for redemption and growth in a world run by fear. Felix is a shy little beast growing up in a world where monster wrestling is the biggest spectacle there is. Lonely, and constantly bullied by the bigger monsters his age, Felix struggles to prove themselves and find their place in the world. Their fate is changed forever when a dare lands them on the doorstep of one of the scariest monsters in the whole world— Macabber Tails, one of the most famous monstering champions in history. Felix wants to be big and brave and strong and tough, just like Macabber, and so they decide to do whatever it takes to not be a fraidy little monster anymore. Their unlikely journey together sends them to Macabber's hometown, to the mountains of the colossal flame-wielding Kilnver—a monster able to make an army of knights out of just its own saliva—and to the lair of the dastardly Amaret, the monster that made Macabber the champion they are today. Together they face some battles for their life, but not always in ways that are physical and by the end, Felix and Macabber may learn a thing or two about being tough.

The city of Oshawa, Ontario is gone. Without a trace. No one remembers it or the 170,000 missing people that also disappeared. The survivors who were lucky enough to be out of town when it happened are few, and strangely, their memories are fading fast. The only way to survive is to seek each other out and work together. While being forgotten can have its upsides when it comes to less-than-legal means of making ends meet, the dwindling survivors will have to deal with the moral conflicts between them, along with the baseline of hopelessness in a world that left them behind. As the variety of skills left between the remaining Displaced shrinks, what ends will they go to for their own survival? Highly acclaimed writer Ed Brisson (Batman: The Brave and the Bold, Predator), rising star artist Luca Casalanguida (James Bond), and red hot colorist Dee Cunniffe (Barnstormers, Crossover) will make you ask, in a world where no one remembers you, what would you do to simply... exist?
