Jim Zub joins us to talk about the latest crossover coming out of Free Comic Book Day - Conan - Tides of the Tyrant King From the team at Kabooooom.com Those who have been reading the current Conan the Barbarian series from Titan Comics and Heroic Signatures will be on familiar footing here. Titan has used Free Comic Book Day to kick off Conan-themed crossovers over the past few years. The crossovers, in this case, involve other characters created by Robert E. Howard. And in the case of Tides of the Tyrant King, the story this time involves Stephen Costigan – a character easily confused with Howard’s more famous Sailor Steve Costigan, who headlined more of his stories than any character save Conan. Zub establishes Conan and Costigan as warriors who share a spirit, despite the undreamed ages that lie between them. The battlefields of Zingara and France blur as the two men fight and both show the same crude chivalry toward the women who tend their wounds. Yet the two men are similarly connected by an evil that touches both their lives across time and space… Join us live as we discuss!

From the creative minds behind ©alifornia, Inc., the powerhouse indie team returns with a gripping new crime saga. Writer Justin Giampaoli (Rome West, Starship Down), illustrator Dave Law (Dungeon Crawler Carl, The Space Odditorium, Wolf Punks), and Studio 12-7 publisher and variant cover artist Arthur N. Ebuen (The Simpsons, Futurama, Systemic) invite you into the world of Westside. Back here! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/artebuen/westside-volume-1?ref=discovery&term=westside&total_hits=47&category_id=250#h:CREATIVE-TEAM This 52-page neo-noir crime drama plunges readers into a volatile crossroads where race relations, car culture, and crime collide. Drawing from deeply personal, autobiographical roots, Westside: Volume 1 is both a hard-hitting crime story and a haunting elegy to Justin’s hometown in California’s Central Valley. Bringing the world to life is veteran indie artist Dave Law, whose bold black and white storytelling is layered with dramatic ink washes, and creates a stark, atmospheric landscape where every conversation hides a secret and every choice has consequences. If you’re a fan of the slow-burn tension of HBO’s The Wire or the gritty crime comics of Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips, Westside: Volume 1 will feel right at home on your shelf. Think True Detective, but set in the sun-bleached streets of California’s Central Valley.

Pre=order Smugglers Stitch now using this link! https://rippaverse.com/store/comics/smugglers-stitch/smugglers-stitch/ Cedric solves problems with fabric, engineering, and a little creative thinking. As a rising designer in the brutal world of professional wrestling, his job is simple: build costumes that survive bone-crushing slams while still looking heroic under the lights. Rival designers stealing clients? Annoying, but manageable. Alien gunfights on the side of the road? That’s new. After a frustrating day at the arena, Cedric’s quiet drive home is shattered when a violent explosion erupts beside him. Energy blasts scorch the trees, and an armored warrior crashes into the clearing—followed by two relentless hunters determined to finish the job. Cedric isn’t a soldier. He isn’t a hero. He’s a tailor. But sometimes the difference between life and death comes down to knowing how things are put together… and how to improvise when everything falls apart.

Meet the incredible Caanan White, the current art director of the Rippaverse. If you are a comic book fan, you will have enjoyed picking up a book illustrated by this outstanding artist. With over 15 years of experience, Caanan has worked with everyone from Marvel and Image Comics to 1First Comics, Dabel Brothers Productions, and everyone in between. His work was first published in 2006 by the independent comic book publisher Dabel Brothers and industry titans like Marvel. This marked the beginning of his professional career as a graphic novel artist. In 2008, Caanan’s submissions would catch the attention of Avatar Press, which resulted in White being hired on to work on two war titles – Uber, written by Kieron Gillan, and The Harlem Hellfighters with writer Max Brooks. Caanan White’s most beloved collaborations include his covers for Luke Cage: Gang War for Marvel and Son of Shaolin, written by Jay Longino. Caanan loves the material he works on, and his passion can clearly be felt in his striking visuals, which show how he brings the characters to life in a way only he can. It was not long before our founder, Eric July, began scouting top talent to come onto the Rippaverse. Caanan started as a cover artist for the company, but his stylish artwork was quickly recognized by fans. Caanan’s gorgeous short box that he designed for the Rippaverse celebrated every character released at the time and showed an intense understanding of each unique hero and villain. Caanan was brought on full-time as our Lead Art Editor when we, the Soska Sisters, joined as editors and Lore Masters. One of the greatest parts of working for the Rippaverse is working with artists as talented as Caanan White, as it drives us to be even better artists. Since joining the company, every artist has had the benefit of Caanan’s guidance and expertise to continue to grow and evolve. I had the pleasure of chatting with this extraordinary artist about his career, his inspiration, and what the future holds.
