Alt★Hero
88 episodes

The dawn of the era has led to a new arms race, albeit one that involves superhumans instead of super weapons. But while the United States has signed the Singapore Convention allowing the United Nations control over its superhumans, its biggest military rivals have not. So when the Commandant of the U.S. Marine Corps learns that a team of Chinese superheroes is operating on the North American continent, he has no choice but to call in the Force Recon team of secret superhumans whose existence is not even known to the Pentagon. Alt★Hero is the first in an exciting new line of superhero comics from Arkhaven Comics.

It felt strange to leave you, my Arkhaven reader. without a personal goodbye, so here goes:


Thank you for reading my book. For sticking with the girls and enduring the rough spelling/grammar.

A year after finishing writing, I acknowledge that it could've gotten better from another round of edits and refinement. But this story needed to get out in the world and the reactions from readers like you have encouraged me to keep going.

Feel free to hit me up for a conversation about Three of Cups or any of my other stories.

If you want to be kept up to date, join my monthly letter. (https://laposta.nl/f/ssftjpowbgnr)


A huge amount of gratitude goes to my husband, Flecktarn Bear, for generating the images to go with my chapters, as well as to my best friend Soulfu, for cleaning up whatever mess of fingers, toes, bags, lights, etc had been churned out.

They put about as much time and effort into the images as I did into the writing.

Love you both. You're the absolute bestest best.




This is the end of this chapter.

I have a new big project in the works, but... it may not end up on Arkhaven for a while yet.

Again, if you want to be kept up to date on that, and think you can suffer through montly letters, click this link (https://laposta.nl/f/ssftjpowbgnr) to subscribe.

Or keep up with me on Instagram & Threads: @seashell.bear.creative


Love you,

Bye

Three of Cups

Seashell Bear
What if life was the adventure? Rose has always wanted to be a bard. A musician who inspires emotions by infusing her song with just a thread of magic. The course seems clear. Attend Bardic College in Splendor, the biggest city in the Realm, and graduate their four-year course. It seems easy enough. Along the way to Splendor, Rose meets Bosra, a grey-skinned giant-kin woman who is leaving her adventuring days behind her. Most adventurers don't retire. They either die as heroes or become villains. She intends to enjoy the fortune she's made in the most luxurious place she knows, the city of Splendor. Valentina, princess, contemplates whether there is more to life than what she is accustomed to, when Bosra and Rose find respite to the coffee shop she spends her free afternoons at. One conversation leads to another, and before she knows it, she's encouraged to step out of her gilded cage. Until those who built the cage come to drag her back. A cozy fantasy story.
