The quaint village of Qebl is reached by sea. It seems a normal enough place, if a bit sleepy. It's a stop on the journey to The Big Top, a place where clowns go to train and get jobs, like an adventurer's guild if you will. Clowns in this world have superpowers they call “tricks” and they use them to fight one another. A red haired girl gets of the boat at Qebl and is immediately confronted by a darkly robed, grinning, enigmatic figure. Will she be able to fight him? This is an adventure, Shonen manga, with lots of comedy thrown in. The style is initially rough but quickly improves and the story is quietly compelling as shonen usually is.

The Winter Solstice is approaching as the elderly, recently retired Yulefather sits by a fire pit roasting fish on a stick. The woodland creatures, mainly Squabbit, are in turmoil searching for a replacement Yulefather after the former one decided to retire following a dangerous mountain giant attack the previous year. The next Yulefather requires the unanimous support of the woodland creatures in order to have power. Squabbit, with the help of a horse called Apple Grey, frantically train the potential Yulefather successors, Spruce and Piney, before the mountain giant’s inevitable return.
The coloring style uses a black, white, and teal color scheme with pops of accent colors to liven up a scene. The Squabbit’s interaction with the mountain giant is reminiscent of a trickster character found in folklore.

Shiori is almost mechanically shy: she just doesn't know how to communicate with other people, not because she's scarred but because she doesn't understand the process. However, the charming Toshiaki has taken her under his wing and he's working at smoothing out the process for her, starting with the pretty Keiko. Poor Shiori is trapped in a prison of her own reluctance to communicate but Toshiaki is chipping away at the blocks slowly. The story is a slice of life drama with a school setting. It's quite uncompressed and communicates a lot without words- just using looks, expressions and clever panel layouts and design.
The art is all black and white, heavy gestural line work, with drawing in a manga influenced style. There's some really cool angles, perspectives, layouts and design work in later pages. The art just gets better and better.

Theo Holloway departs the earliest morning train at the shy depot of the understated town of Imago, Nebraska. Holloway is an unassuming solo-traveling craftsman with an antique luggage bag that looks as old as time. One of the few items in Theo’s possession is Fyodor Dostoevsky’s novel, The Idiot, and similar to Prince Myshkin, Theo’s journey started aboard a train. Rose Vargas, a known kleptomaniac, has been rooted in Imago, Nebraska, and has worked her way up from the Grand Rock Motel to a waitress and spends her days chatting with the regular townsfolk. Rose and Theo’s life paths are about to intersect over a two-dollar and fifteen cent cup of coffee at the local diner stirring up more questions than answers about their initial meeting.
The art style in Imago, Nebraska, uses a dreamlike filter that softens the edges of the harshness of reality. The story dives into visually and conversationally mature themes and is intended for an older audience (16+).

This is a simple and somewhat surreal story about humble pigeons. The strange and simple existence of these human adapted birds that flock to our towns and cities world wide and live besides us but apart from us, scavenging from our refuse and detritus, pooping on our heads, statues, and buildings… Sometimes they serve us as messenger birds, racing birds, and even food, but mostly they're independent and ubiquitous. This is a story about what happens when those creatures meet their end. There are very little words in this comic, it's mostly told though sketchy, stylised, slightly surreal line work. You have to work out what's happening somewhat. It's quite an interesting, arty piece of work!
