Amazing Forest #1

Tales for the bold. Ideas for the strange. Wicked concepts that stir the minds of those with darkness in their hearts. A modern anthology that lends itself to a time when stories were short and ugly.

FAITH #1 (of 4)

FAITH BEGINS! VALIANT’S MOST DEMANDED HERO STEPS OUT OF HARBINGER…AND INTO AN ALL-NEW ADVENTURE!

Orphaned at a young age, Faith Herbert – a psionically gifted “psiot” discovered by the Harbinger Foundation – has always aspired to greatness. But now this once ordinary teenager is taking control of her destiny and becoming the hard-hitting hero she’s always known she can be – complete with a mild-mannered secret identity, unsuspecting colleagues, and a day job as a reporter that routinely throws into her harms way! Well, at least she thought it would… When she’s not typing up listicles about cat videos, Faith makes a secret transformation to patrol the night as the City of Angels’ own leading superhero – the sky-soaring Zephyr!

But flying solo is going to be tougher than she ever thought when Zephyr uncovers a deep-rooted alien conspiracy. Two-bit burglars and car thieves are one thing, but when the world needs a hero to stave off a full-blown extraterrestrial invasion, will Faith find herself in over her head…or ready for her biggest challenge yet?


RODRIGO
Escape from Monster Island #1
Writer Joe Tyler
Artist Carlos Granda
Publisher: Zenescope Entertainment

The purpose of this city was to house an experimental testing facility for a multitude of monsters that had been captured over the years. But in 2012, disaster struck and the island was evacuated; it is now overrun by a bevy of terrifying creatures and beings. Yet something extremely valuable was left behind and now some very rich people want it.

RED THORN #3
Written by: David Baillie
Art by: Meghan Hetrick
Thorn and Isla travel to Morocco to meet Tarek, a young boy who’s been drawing maps his whole life-maps of a realm that doesn’t seem to exist. We also introduce the fiercest Redcap of all: Franint, whose hobbies include murder, being angry and more murder. And you won’t believe which long-time Celtic celebrity turns out to be an old flame of Thorn’s.

DISCUSSION:
“My wife is a collegiate librarian, and she and some colleagues are talking about putting together a display for Women's History Month about female comic characters/creators. My wife and I are both fans of various "mainstream" comic franchises, but we're woefully ignorant of most of what's out there beyond the most visible properties. So I though
