CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED
These are the properties that when released as comics
received a great amount of critical acclaim for their stories.

RENFIELD
A tale of madness. A man is slowly being consumed by madness because of visions and voices that intrude upon his dreams and nightmares. Renfield faces his pre-ordained task of preparing for his mysterious “master” and struggles to understand what his “messiah” is asking of him. Upon discovering that Dracula is offering him eternal life, Renfield realizes that for beings such as Dracula to live, others must die. This includes Mina Harker who Renfield also reveres. Renfield must decide between immortality or humanity. He can not have both.

AUTUMN
The true horror wasn’t in the streets...it was in the dark labyrinths of the Underground. A killer strikes when the leaves are falling and days are become shorter.   Year after year, this spree is followed with a morbid fascination by a child as he grows to adulthood. James Turrell keeps meticulous records of the grisly finds...and he will find the answer. Autumn is a number of things; a coming of age story, a tale of revenge, and a study in obsession.

GOLGOTHIKA
Helmut Muchenstich is a young man who crossed paths with the world’s most powerful leader, Werner Herzog. Helmut married Herzog’s daughter…without permission. He uncovered sensitive information about Herzog that was best left buried…and for this he is punished. His brain is downloaded onto a computer chip and placed into a new, vat-grown body…that of a green, four foot tall, gargoyle. An impossible mix between Blade Runner and the Wizard of Oz!

LEVEL X
Six people....one dream. Six volunteers are hooked up to a special machine that monitors their dreams. A glitch in the dream machine plunges the subjects into a comatose stasis and their personalities are drawn into the machine, only to be manifested in the dreams themselves. With the diverse backgrounds of the subjects, the dreams can transcend virtually any concept capable of imagining. The dreams can cover all aspects of history and literature. They can go through time and space, into the diverse world of cyberspace, into imagination itself. LEVEL X...the next stage of consciousness.... where dreams are real.

RED DIARIES
She wrote down everything. Her lovers were powerful men and when she threatened to go public with it, she died. Murdered? Perhaps. But the diary was missing. The woman was Marilyn Monroe and her lovers included J. F.K. Her death remains a mystery….as does the Red Diary as it has never turned up anywhere...until now…along with more diaries that chronicle a dark chapter in American history. Assassination, cover-ups, conspiracy and more are revealed as an investigative team find themselves caught in the 30 year old maelstrom.

MAGUS
It is said that he is the famed Simon Magus from the Bible.  Other legends and tales place him throughout the world and throughout history.  His tattooed skin belies his true nature, but to the disciples of the remote monastery, he is The Master.   However, when today’s world intrudes upon his solitude, The Magus, must rejoin the world.  Can even his great powers of alchemy be enough to contend with this new world?

RAVEN CHRONICLES
Raven Chronicles is a unique team of operatives brought together to investigate any and all cases of paranormal activity. Formed of both skeptics and believers alike, the team is often called by standard authorities when cases prove to be too bizarre, too unusual, or just plain unsolvable. Covering the entire spectrum of the unknown, from the supernatural to the dark side of man, Raven, Inc., searches for answers in areas that most people refuse to acknowledge exist.

SAINT GERMAINE
Legend…Mage….Sorcerer. He has traversed the paths of mankind for untold years. He consumes the memory of men who are dying and adds them to his own. He is Saint Germaine and death to him is nothing more than a state of consciousness. Mix the key elements of Quantum Leap with X-Files and you can get a good idea of the potential. Add something like Millenium as the dark side of mankind is explored and it’s easy to see that Saint Germaine can move in a lot of different directions.

THE REALM
