DMZ:
In the near future, America's worst nightmare has come true. With military adventurism overseas bogging down the Army and National Guard, the U.S. government mistakenly neglects the very real threat of anti-establishment militias scattered across the 50 states. Like a sleeping giant, Middle America rises up and violently pushes its way to the shining seas, coming to a standstill at the line in the sand — Manhattan or, as the world now knows it, the DMZ. Matty Roth, a naïve young man and aspiring photojournalist, lands a dream gig following a veteran war journalist into the heart of the DMZ. Things soon go terribly wrong, and Matty finds himself lost and alone in a world he's only seen on television. There, he is faced with a choice: try to find a way off the island, or make his career with an assignment most journalists would kill for. But can he survive in a war zone long enough to report the truth?

Northlanders:
Culture war. Technological revolution. Fear of the end of the world. Sound familiar? It should. But it's not the world of 2007...it's the world of Europe, circa 1000 AD. NORTHLANDERS' "Sven The Returned" tells the epic tale of Sven of Orkney, an exiled Viking warrior who's been living the decadent, high life in Constantinople but now must return to the desolate lands of his birth in the frigid islands of the North Sea to reclaim his vast inheritance. Intending only to take his money and run, he finds more than he bargained for as his former family and friends are enslaved at the hands of Gorm, his ruthless uncle. What follows is a bloody quest to not only free his people, but also a young man's struggle to discover where he belongs in a rapidly changing world.

In "The Cross + The Hammer", the story shifts ahead a hundred or so years, and contrasts the epic Battle Of Clontarf with one man's quest to bring a serial killer to justice. This volume also includes the story story "Lindisfarne", an imaginative account of the infamous raid that kicked off the Viking Age.

The Couriers:
Starring characters from Couscous Express, the sleeper hit graphic novel of 2002, THE COURIERS is a fast-paced action-adventure comic set in New York City, featuring Moustafa and Special: mercenary couriers. They do the work the normal couriers are only barely aware of: intelligence, large cash transfers, protection, assassinations, blockade-running... you name it. THE COURIERS is a pure action movie on paper.
In The Couriers 01, there was one job they always knew they would refuse, human trafficking, also known as a "biologic." But when the package turns out to be a young deaf/mute girl from Nepal, with a gone-rogue Chinese Red Army Brigade hot on her heels, how can they NOT get involved?

In "Dirtbike Manifesto", Moustafa and Special travel to upstate New York, hot on the heels of redneck gunrunners with courier blood on their hands. Can they hack it in the sticks? Coming face to face with their hick doppelgangers, maybe... or maybe not. At the very least Moustafa can get his rocks off with some serious dirtbike action.

They come full circle in "The Ballad of Johnny Funwrecker", once again engaging the Chinatown mafia, specifically the bombastic Johnny, mob boss extraordinaire. But Moustafa and Special have history with this guy, going back to 1993 when they were gutter punks looking for a leg up in the criminal underworld.

THE COURIERS is in feature film production, via Intrepid/Rogue Pictures.

Channel Zero:
Special interest groups have bullied the government into passing the Clean Act, effectively killing freedom of speech and silencing the country into submission. TV and God become one and the same as America wages its own Holy War against its citizens. Meet Jennie 2.5, media slut turned info-terrorist, out to save the country from itself, and restore free will and self-expression.

Hailed internationally as ground-breaking work in the field of sequential art, Channel Zero challenges and tests the limits of the medium. First appearing in serial form in 1997, Channel Zero has retained its energy and relevance in the face of rapidly changing times.
