S4 Ep 401D.J. Wiedrich returns to talk Glitch from the year 2065.
In the year 2065, technology has developed to the point where tech giant “Ry-Von Tech” has begun to produce human-sized assistant androids called TY-Units, which are live-in assistants that take care of the basic maintenance of a home. In an attempt to break into the lower and middle class market of customers, Founder and CEO of Ry-Von Tech green lights a one time lottery for a lower class Chicago citizen to receive a free TY-Unit. Due to negligence during his manufacturing, our main character “TY” is built with one major flaw, he’s missing an intelligence inhibitor chip. As a result, he begins to develop his own sense of individuality, personal goals, and moral compass. That, partnered with poor maintenance, leads him to deteriorate physically and mentally and over time, lose respect for human beings. In his own twisted attempt to help his favorite human being, the family’s only child Lea, he causes a tragedy that will shake the family forever. This single act begins Ty’s journey further into insanity and the worst of the human experience. If you are a fan of Sci-Fi stories about artificially intelligent androids (such as Bicentennial Man, I-Robot, Chappie, and Ex-Machina, this comic is for YOU!

S4 Ep 399Chuck Dixon, Bob Hardin and The Seven Deadly Sinners is almost here!
Trouble starts on a lonely farm—the kind no one walks away from clean. When the call for help goes out, it isn’t the police who are called in. It’s the sinners.

From comics legend Chuck Dixon and powerhouse artist Bob Hardin, Seven Deadly Sinners delivers unapologetic, grindhouse-style storytelling packed with violence, velocity, and attitude.

S4 Ep 394From the mind of edged-weapon specialist & Filipino martial artist DOUG MARCAIDA
DOUG MARCAIDA'S LINEAGE #1 hit Kickstarter Feb 16th 2026 Two estranged brothers trying to escape their mysterious past are forced to reckon with it when signs of a blood cult emerge in their adopted hometown. Their only clue: an ancient blade passed down by their father. From the mind of edged-weapon specialist & Filipino martial artist DOUG MARCAIDA, judge on the History Channel’s "Forged in Fire". Doug Marcaida is a martial artist, edged weapons specialist, and knife designer born in the Philippines, who calls Upstate New York home. Doug’s interest in martial arts began at the age of 8, but he did not begin formally training in the arts until he was 16. At age 25 he discovered his love for Filipino Martial Arts, and the rest is history. A US military veteran, who served in the US Air Force for 8 years, and then pursued a career as a Respiratory Therapist for 20 years, all the while teaching and honing his skills as a Filipino martial artist. In addition to developing his own style of Filipino Martial Arts, called Marcaida Kali, Doug has traveled all over the United States and the world, teaching first responders and military personnel the foundations of his beloved art. All of this life experience has led Doug to his core belief: It’s not about how many you hurt, it’s about how many you protect. This motto eventually evolved into Doug’s popular catchphrase “It will K.E.Al” ( Keep Everyone Alive).Visit Kickstarter now!https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/kidheroes/doug-marcaidas-lineage-2-4-comic?ref=discovery&term=lineage&total_hits=136&category_id=250
