Synopsis:
The day came that the world as we know it ended, and on that day, Earth itself began to die. No one knows what happened, what caused the devastation that swept away cities, crumbled the nations and shattered the world. All they know is that it has only gotten worse since. Now, 10,000 years later, humanity is dying out. Forced to live in a world literally being torn apart in space and time, hunted by strange creatures that now walk the Earth in the shadows, and enslaved by the living dead, alien wizards and demons, humankind may be facing extinction. One young man just may be the savior of humanity, or else, the bringer of their final doom. His name is Savage and his destiny shall be legend.

In this issue:
Young Savage sets out upon the path to his destiny, and on the day he is to become a man, he must face the staggering terror of his people's worst nightmares...The Revenants! If that were not enough, waiting for him in the flames of his future, is the monster Dragon-King, who bears a blade that will change the young man's life...forever. This is where it all begins!

Synopsis:
Somewhere in Asia, aeons ago, stood the city. Even then it was older than any of its millions of residents could remember. Created as a bastion of peace, learning and human dignity, the huge, walled metropolis existed in blissful harmony since the beginning. But now a serpent of corruption slithers in the shadows of this paradise. Now evil has set its sights on the city and its citizens. Stirred by this spreading dark stain, the Goddess wakes. The protective spirit of the city—entwined in everything that is good about the place—she senses the infestation and takes steps to combat it. Xian was a serious and dedicated student one day, living a life of ease and serenity in her beloved city. Then the murders started and evil came to the city for the first time. When the Goddess implored her to take up the mystic green sword and become the champion against corruption, Xian could only assent. Now, she is Jade Fire, and only she can strike against the heart of darkness beating ever louder beneath the silent streets of the city. She's ready to fight to save her home, even if it means battling the devil himself. And it just might!

In this issue:
In the huge and silent walled city, evil stirs for the first time and corruption spreads like cancer. Now that the Goddess has chosen and empowered Xian as the city's champion, her battle against the insidious invader begins in earnest. First she tracks the enemy right to a possible lair, where the place itself seems mystically intent on killing her. Even as she fights, the dark enemy unleashes demonic allies and seeks to seduce the innocent to its hideous purpose.

Synopsis:
In a wild adventure that spans the universe from the high seas of our world in the Middle Ages to an extra dimensional realm of deadly monsters, strange civilizations and wild science, the exciting series stars the historical, red-bearded pirate known as Barbarossa and his crew of rowdy privateers. Along with the Countess Julia of Fondi--a "captive" of great beauty and greater thirst for excitement, Barbarossa and his men struggle to survive this impossible new world. Finding their way home is the goal to be sure, but not before the freebooters take their fill of thrilling adventure and fabulous treasure!

In this issue:
As Barbarossa and his crew adjust to their strange new surroundings, they learn that nothing is ever what it seems. Lost on a world where constant political tension, secret pacts and hidden agendas are the rule of the day. With everyone playing the espionage game, who can be trusted? Beware of knives in the back, swords at your throat, and assassins in the night--can even battle-hardened swashbucklers like Barbarossa long survive?
