The Faqs Project-Hosted by James "Grandmaster Faqs" Boyce

Today we bring Eisner Winning Writer Mark Russell back onto the Pod to talk about his latest project for Ahoy Comics and their first on Kickstarter: The Forgotten Divine. Where we meet Rodney Coleman a former EOD Veteran, unhoused but in Therapy. He tells his Therapist of a recurring dream he has of an alien world that seems too real. While some may have made his vision seem as a delusion, he finds that he is not the only one having these visions. This spirals into the indoctrination of many people with different personalities being haunted by their distrust of the outside world as they feel no one can understand them but themselves. The bond that brought a select few together is overseen with corruption and allegations with such a climactic ending. This is also in collaboration with Matt Kindt's 100% Human Made certification a strike against AI in Comics. Now Live on KickstarterWritten by Mark RussellArtwork by Russ Braun

Today we bring back Justin Coke to talk SWAT or Secret Wizard Assault Team a cross in urban fantasy mixed between the angst of Law enforcement. Larry Slaughter leads this group of Wizard Detectives that are on the verge of being laid off until they find a way to set up a Vampire for mass murder to keep their jobs. Justin adds Humor with the assortment of title characters. You might even find a Homeless Garden Gnome looking for Weed. Live on Kickstarter May 15th.Written by Justin CokeArtwork by Rachel Distler

Today I am joined by Jordan Clark (Milestone Initiative Recipient) and Creator of Ancestral Recall for Ahoy Comics. I've been wanting to talk about this book for sometime now I've heard many of my peers rave about the story. Melvin Waring is at an age where he is set in his ways. He has a loving wife June who takes a solid interest in his artwork and his business and their dynamic is a force in this book because one day Melvin wakes up to June missing as people go missing in his neighborhood by a mysterious corporation. Trapped in an instinctual bridge from Past to Present and Present to Future we are pulled through time. All while methodically going through a recall in certain situations to become figures in Black History such as Bill Pickett or Andre Lorde, and Philip Marlowe. Educational and full of suspense and utter Sci-Fi that keeps you on a ride.Written by Jordan ClarkArtwork by Atagun IlhanColors by Pippa BowlandLetters by Rob Steen
