JUNE 2018 - Otherworlds
As we take our first steps into this month's collection, I'm reminded of one of my favourite books: Stephen King's The Dark Tower. In that series, the characters are often heard to muse "There are other worlds than these" as they hop between dimensions. That sentence informs this months' OTHERWORLDS collection as each of the stories deals with another, or an alternate world. Including different planets (Literally other worlds) and spiritual realms, OTHERWORLDS shows us that while the world might look like ours, it might also be very, very different.

May 2018 - Number Crunching
It's hard to argue that most of us don't run our lives "by the numbers." Phone Numbers, Addresses, Dates, Times, Account balances, and more, Numbers make up a massive part of each and every one of our days. In this NUMBER CRUNCHING collection, we take a look at four stories that may look very different, but are all pulled together by numerical commonality!

March 2018 - Going Digital
Can we honestly say that there is any single facet of our lives not linked to the digital realm at this point? I know I'm hard-pressed to think of one, which brings us to this month's theme: GOING DIGITAL. Integration and use of technology is practically second nature to us as humans, but as we approach the fine line of Digital Overload in our lives we must take a look at ourselves if we're going to survive technological advances, as well as live with them.

February 2018 - Short Stories / Tall Tales
There was a time when using the term Epic insinuated a long, sprawling story with highs and lows, all converging in to a climactic ending that would leave readers/viewers/players emotionally and physically exhausted. Now, "epic" simply means you had a good Frappuccino or your commute took a little longer. With that in mind, we are happy to present Short Stories/Tall Tales; a collection of books featuring small stories in Epic Packages.

APRIL 2017 - Don't Get Mad, Get Even!
Some say that revenge is a dish best served cold - as in, the cold steel of a samurai blade. You could also look at it as best served hot- as in, hot lead or simply a passionate, heated fight. Revenge is a key part of our base human instinct to protect and avenge wrongs done to us, or those we care about.

March 2015 – CLOAK AND DAGGER
When it comes to danger and intrigue, no one's life is quite so harrowing as a spy. Though they may be armed with the latest in gadgets and weapons, the Spy is often left to their own devices behind enemy lines, with no backup and no goal save one: complete the mission.
The Shadow Volume 1

January 2015 – IT'S ALL CRIMINAL
The Perfect Crime. Is it out there? Is there a caper so smart and intricate that it could fool a whole city’s worth of police and citizens? What of the grizzled, down-on-his-luck detective who just wants to forget, but can’t as he’s pulled back into a world of twisted deception he tried to leave behind? And, what role does the Woman in the Red Dress play?

Traditionally around the holidays, stores, businesses, homes and streets are all decked out with decorations and cheer. Green trees and Red bows are everywhere and there's even a bit of magic in the White of new-fallen snow. There's also Silver and Gold of tinsel and trimmings, the warm Orange glow of a crackling fire and the colourful twists and turns in a candy cane!

JULY 2017 - Old School
No matter what you’re into, there’s always an OLD SCHOOL. The OLD SCHOOL is where the building blocks and foundations were laid for the things we love today. Comics are no exception to this, in that the format itself has a rich and exciting history beyond the panels and gutters that has helped shape our pop culture for decades. Is the OLD SCHOOL better? Is the NEW SCHOOL where progress lies? We hope to examine it from a few different angles in this month’s Comic Bento collection.

But sometimes, live or finances or pure boredom call us back into work and the world we left behind. So what happens when the world you left behind is one of VIOLENCE? or Assassination? Or of War?

May 2016 - Rewriting History
As a whole generation learned in the Ashton Kutcher movie The Butterfly Effect, the simplest of things changed in the time stream can have a massive effect. If given the chance, would yo go back and change things, risking the present that you know? or the future that could be? It’s a heavy question and after reading these books, I wonder if we’ll think REWRITING HISTORY is worth it..

March 2016 - Powerless
When it comes to comics, finding the fantastic is almost TOO easy. From demigods, to aliens, to guys-doing-whatever-spiders-can, comics area full of brightly coloured, larger-than-life chatacters with special abilities that make them a hero of society. But what about the rest of us?

February 2016 - AMPED
Music and comic-book-style pageantry have never been far apart. One needs to look no further than the theatrics of KISS or GWAR to see comics represented on the stage. In this month's theme, we go from Scottish indie-pop group BELLE & SEBASTIAN, to the classic horror infused rock of ALICE COOPER, to good old sex, drugs, and rock n roll.

January 2016 - The Grey Area
Nothing can move forward without looking to the past. No one can be a hero without facing the villain. Choices can't be made without knowing both sides of the story. And one of that can happen without understanding the space between the absolutes, THE GREY AREA!

Since they gained pop cultier prominence in the late 1930s, Comic Books have survived World Wars, Television Invasions, The Internet, and just about every societal or social change that the world has been through. They are a driving force in pop culture today more than ever. But it all started somewhere and that's why we're excited to take a look back.

August 2014 - SCIENCE FICTION
Where do we go from here? For centuries, the most imaginative minds in science fiction have written about a time when our communication devices would have viewscreens (or, as we ended up calling them, “screens”). When we had instant access to all the answers. When we “drove” self-driving cars. Between smart phones, the Internet, and Google cars, we’re a “William Daniels” Siri mode away from living Knight Rider.

October 2014 - HORROR
Can a comic book be scary? Obviously parent groups thought so, as EC Comic’s horror line’s perceived corrupting influence scared them enough to create the Comic Code Authority in the 1950s. In a world where Blade was one of the first comic book adaptations to be taken seriously and millions of viewers tune into The Walking Dead every week, it may be hard to picture a time when ghouls, vampires or zombies were banned from comic books. Fortunately though, times have changed and we are able to present to you:
