In December 2012, the U.S. government launched a secret program to create superhumans called Ascendants. In July 2018, the U.S. government lost control over them. Now, America enters a new era in which ordinary men and women can become the heroes we need... or the monsters we fear. TIME TO ASCEND!

On the run from their past, swordsmen Raedrick Baletier and Julian Hinderbrook search for a place of refuge where they can start over. That search sends them through a remote mountain valley called Glimmer Vale, where unbeknownst to them, dark forces threaten the population’s lives and fortunes. With their hopes of quiet passage through the Vale dashed, and facing a deadly conflict against overwhelming odds, Raedrick and Julian will need all of their wit, courage, and skill just to survive, let alone prevail. Fans of sword and sorcery will enjoy this fast-paced tale of redemption set in a world of valor and magic. Glimmer Vale is the first book in the ongoing Glimmer Vale Chronicles heroic fantasy series. Fans can purchase the book directly from the author or through any of the online retailers: https://ssnstorytelling.com/product/glimmer-vale/ https://books2read.com/glimmervale

A frantic font of the funniest funnybooks selected from the classic comics of the Golden Age by famed funnyman and comic book scribe Chuck Dixon.

新日历八四六六年。在一场全球金融灾难之后，吸血鬼族在二千六百多年来首次走出阴影，向一个毫无戒心的人类揭示存在。吸血鬼有效控制了媒体、各国政府、全球金融体系和主要国际机构。人类无力抵抗他们的权力。 但从中世纪的十字军命令中汲取灵感，十二个人联合起来，组成了一个新的军事命令，即迈克尔骑士团和罗马地下墓穴骑士团。迈克尔骑士团除了他们的毅力和对敌人有害的鲜血外，几乎没有别的武器，他们与午夜世界的吸血鬼领主展开了一场苛刻的战争。

From the mean streets of Moseley to the oceanfront villas of Diamond Beach, crime affects everyone in Avalon. And the presence of the superhumans known around the city as "specials" hasn't necessarily made life for the average citizen any better, since the local vigilantes are as apt to demand payment for their protection as they are to provide their services for free. The crime-fighting duo of King Ace and Fazer are true heroes, not vigilantes, as Fazer explains the difference to a reporter interviewing him for the Avalon Sentinel. A hero doesn't expect thanks or payment, he helps people because it is the right thing to do. And a hero doesn't kill anyone, ever. All Fazer and the big guy are trying to do is make everyday life better for everyone who lives in their city. But even heroes face temptation.

Aesops Fables are a collection of short stories that each contain a moral or lesson. These fables (such as 'The Boy who Cried Wolf') are known across the world. Aesop was a Greek slave who lived during the 5th century BC and either created or popularised existing fables, so their wisdom could be enjoyed by future generations.

AI generated art using text prompts are a new, controversial means of creating visual art. The cowboy and the shepherd have working dogs to assist them. The spaceman relies on his blaster and android assistant to complete his mission. The writer can now use an AI artist to create art for his written creations. Join us as we explore this new creative process by taking classic prose stories, feeding them to our supportive silicon sketcher, and share the results with you.

The countdown to the invasion of Earth has begun. A merciless alien race bent on human extermination has pointed its armada towards Earth. The countdown to their arrival begins. A mysterious intelligence warns only a young scientist, Marc Ibarra, of our impending doom. Together, the two create a plan for humanity to survive the invasion. Even with the aid of advanced new technology, Marc is faced with a major problem. The plan—if it works—can only save a fraction of us. Who survives? Who dies? How can humanity win the battle against almost certain annihilation? With what will only be an ember of humanity left, will it be enough to rekindle our chance for survival and strike back at the Xaros? The Ember War is the first novel in an epic military sci-fi series by Richard Fox. Adapted for comics by Jon Del Arroz.
