A newspaper-format journal dedicated to in-depth comics criticism edited by Tiffany Babb
The Comics Courier, is one of the few projects from Kickstarter that has left a profound effect on me. Their second issue was when I joined their following, and since I received it, it has remained framed on my wall. It really is that good. I mean, take into account what it is, a format unlike many others. A newspaper delivered to your door about the current goings on of comics through the perspective of fans, and well-known writers that we have today.
I can’t recommend it enough, and for that reason, I can yell from our rooftops at ComicsBeat to back this amazing project.

Creatures, fantasy, & myth! Kingdoms clash in a world where magical creatures serve as companions to warriors & their secret ambitions.
Wild Wisps makes it return to the round-up with issue #6! It marks the explosive, double-sized finale to the first arc, packing 48 pages of sweeping fantasy and character-driven drama. If you’re a fan of sprawling, layered worlds like A Song of Ice & Fire or The Blade Itself, this issue delivers on that same promise of epic stakes and emotional depth.
At its heart, Wild Wisps follows Kino and his Wisp, Tonkarex, two broken souls bound together by loss and a dangerous secret. Their journey to join Queen Raina’s Guard collides with the brutal realities of a 20-year war, where Wisps, creatures with elemental powers ranging from helpful to god-like, are as likely to become weapons of mass destruction as companions. The stakes only heighten when Kino’s knowledge of a mythic Wisp threatens to reshape reality itself.
With stunning artwork by Nabetse Zitro and a powerhouse creative team, this finale cements Wild Wisps as a must-read modern fantasy.

Mummy Detective. Vampire sidekick. A demonic cult. A city on the brink of Hell. Bixby Grant’s case is heating up!
BIXBY GRANT, PRIVATE EYE: FANGS & BRIMSTONE #3 brings Harbor City’s supernatural underworld roaring back in a 30-page pulp-noir package. Featuring a 20-page main story and an 8-page backup, this issue pushes Bix closer to the edge as the sinister cult led by his brother threatens to unleash Hell on Earth.
With Diego the rockabilly vampire at his side, Bix shakes down mystics, runs afoul of the Council Macabre, and confronts secrets from his own past, delivering sharp, two-fisted detective work with a supernatural twist.
This is Written by Patrick Coyle with art from Gonzalo Martínez, Arthur Hesli, and Gonzalo Ruggieri, and edited by Heather Antos, Fangs & Brimstone #3 is a genuinely such a special mix of noir grit, horror intrigue, and pulpy action for fans of Hellboy, Gotham Central, and The Walking Dead. Finished, polished, and ready to print, this is supernatural crime comics done right, its fun, dangerous, witty, and worth every page.

An anthology comic collection homage to the retro horror magazines of the 60’s and 70’s celebrating the iconic myth of the Werewolf!
This October, the howl returns. The Werewolf Lives! Horror Comic Anthology Magazine is a 100+ page ode to the definitive creature of the night, crafted by lifelong horror fans Nicholas Aaron Hodge and K.M. Lightfoot.
Inspired by classics like Creepy, Fangoria, and Tales from the Crypt, this anthology brings together a collection of modern werewolf stories that honor the myth while pushing it into new, terrifying territory. The book embraces the striking Black, White & Blood style, hand-drawn black-and-white interiors with haunting red accents. That heightens both atmosphere and carnage.
Alongside its original stories, the anthology digs into the werewolf’s history in popular media, making this both a celebration and reimagining of the beast.
