Ghost Comic of Christmas Past: ‘A Very Question Christmas’
Christmas comes in three days and the year 2016 will soon be behind us. Yeah, I know what you’re thinking. ‘What, no new books??’ Obviously we will not be putting out any new Ascension Epoch titles in the waning days of this year. Shell and I actually have six in progress, plus a comic, but […]

The Moral Inversion of Netflix’s Daredevil
