Get a preview of "It is a Haven With You" on GlobalComix: https://globalcomix.com/read/28892fff...  From Artist/Writer Alex Ortiz and Assistant writer Donovan Wilson comes a Scifi-Steampunk Fantasy epic! Beyond the plague-scarred lands stands New Mecha, the last mega city. There, Nali works as a skyship technician, doing whatever it takes to protect her little brother and the failing shelter that raised them. Then she dies. Nali awakens changed. Revived by something ancient and unknown, her body reforged, her work gauntlets transformed into weapons of immense power. She doesn’t know why she was brought back, only that corporations across the world now hunt her for what lives within her. With the help of close friends and unlikely allies, Nali must uncover the truth behind her rebirth by leaving the city behind, healing corrupted lands and fractured dimensions before the spreading plague consumes everything she loves. IT IS A HAVEN WITH YOU is a dimension jumping, coming of age story about transformation through loss, choice, and faith. Wrapped in steampunk fantasy, it explores what it means to become something new when the old world refuses to let go. Issue One is 40 pages of gorgeous fantasy that sets the stage for the rest of the series. With a planned quarterly release schedule, this ongoing epic is something you won't wanna miss! If stories like Hellboy, Spirited Away, and a dash of The Goonies speak to you, this world will make you feel right at home.
