I bring you two bits of exciting news!
Mini Comics
Tomorrow (Wednesday) sees the release of the first of our new Mini Comics for the main storylines.
These are shorter comics that fit alongside the main stories, but if you miss one, don’t panic—the world will continue spinning.
It means we don’t have to wait an entire month to check back in with our favourite characters, while also giving everyone a chance to peek at what’s happening over on the other tiers.
Venus Rising Returns!
I was sitting in the studio trying to decide what to put into the first release slot of October.
Rather than throwing together a sex scene and desperately wrapping a plot around it, I thought…
Why not bring back an actual monthly series?
And then I remembered Venus Rising.
Venus Rising was a series I started several years ago, pulling inspiration from things like Borderlands, Firefly, Barbarella and all those wonderfully terrible B-movie sci-fi adventures.
It follows cute-but-incredibly-naive trainee diplomat Bella Fox, renegade technician Tanya Gray, weapons specialist Xena, and their completely unhinged droid 4Q2 as they embark on a series of increasingly ridiculous fetch quests to save Earth.
The problem?
Princess Eve of the Draconian Empire.
Daddy gave her a heavy destroyer for her birthday, and she’s decided to take it on an intergalactic social-media-fuelled Planetary Destruction Tour.
Earth is on the itinerary.
Unfortunately, Venus Rising disappeared several years ago because there was a pandemic, I was moving countries, and frankly the real world was becoming so fucking ridiculous I half expected us to start eating tasty brains.
But rather than reinventing the wheel…
Venus Rising is coming back.
And we’re picking up exactly where we left off.
The crew have just escaped Mad Max’s World and are heading for New Vegas.
What could possibly go wrong?
So, if you’ve never read Venus Rising—or it’s been so long you’ve forgotten what the hell happened—you’ve got a couple of weeks of homework:
Read Venus Rising Books 1–3 and get caught up.
Because in October…
Bella, Tanya, Xena and 4Q2 are back
