People grow old, but stories never do, so I'm incredibly excited to be tackling this long-gestating project with a phenomenal artist like Gegê Schall and our editor, Marla Eizik, at Mad Cave Studios. This story is both a personal look back at the highs and lows of being a teenager and an exciting, and sometimes scary, thrill ride down into the center of Eastern Pennsylvania. I hope Far Down Below connects with readers as it did with me nearly sixteen years ago when I dreamt up the idea." – Writer, Chris Condon Artist, Gegê Schall Barcelona-based brazilian author Gegê Schall has been making comics for over 20 years.

These two boys remind me so much of me and my friends when I was a kid, and I think I've been working on this book for that exact inner child that still exists in me. The emotional turmoil, the thirst for adventure, the family drama, the goofiness, it's all there. Plus the scary monsters, the cool locations, the wild characters...I'm so happy to have helped Chris in bringing Far Down Below to life, and if readers have half as much fun reading the book as I've had drawing it, I'll consider my job well accomplished." – Artist, Gegê Schall Far Down Below will be in stores March 26th at your favorite comic book store!

Todd is back with issue 9 of Tokyo Blade Detective. At the end of Vol.2., Todd revealed that there was someone killing people in Tokyo without the use of a laser sword. It's bloody. It's violent. Just as important, though, it's something that the people haven't seen in a while. These "acts and displays" are getting the attention of key people in Tokyo, which leads Miko and Michio to get hired to take them down. Issue #9 sets up the story and shows a more detective-style approach to things that we've only touched upon lightly in the first two arcs. History has a way of repeating itself in this story, and I think you'll enjoy the tales that are told within. You can back the issue 9 campaign on Kickstarter now! Use this link to grab your copy!
