Vegfolk Fables
221 episodes
by Codex & Q
We tossed ‘Bone’, ‘VeggieTales’, and a wee dram o’ whiskey into the blender, mashed the humor button, and poured the story onto the Web. With a splash of Oz and a sprinkle of Narnia, Vegfolk Fables is an all-age-friendly fantastical adventure. No vegetarians please.

Alt★Hero: Q
84 episodes
by The Legend Chuck Dixon
When federal agent Roland Dane is sent to Peru to escort a U.S. Cabinet member, he has no reason to believe his assignment is connected in any way to his Treasury team's recent bust of a ring of amateur counterfeiters. But when the Secretary of State and his entourage is unexpectedly attacked and the subsequent news reports of the attack bear no resemblance to the events he witnessed, Dane is forced to confront the shocking discovery that nothing in his world is quite what it appears to be. Alt★Hero: Q is an incendiary comic series that explores the mysterious phenomenon of QAnon. Set in the Alt★Hero universe, the story is written by The Legend Chuck Dixon, the co-creator of Bane and the most prolific author in the history of comic books.

Midnight's War
77 episodes
by Vox Day
In the year 8466 of the Cainite calendar, in the aftermath of a catastrophic global economic crisis, the vampire tribes came out of the shadows for the first time in more than 2,600 years and revealed themselves to an unsuspecting humanity. With near-complete control of the media, the national governments, the global financial system, and most of the major international institutions, most of humanity was helpless to resist the vampiric bid for power. But drawing inspiration from the crusading orders of the Middle Ages, twelve young men joined together in a new military order, The Knights of Saint Michael and of the Catacombs of Rome. Armed with little more than their faith and blood that is poison to their enemies, The Knights of Saint Michael wage a desperate war against the vampire lords of the midnight world.

Episode 56: A Silent Contemplation

From an impressive mansion on a hill overlooking the main highway out of town, a dark figure silhouetted by the brilliant sunshine looked out a massive picture window at the glorious view. The farms and pastures of the little people speckled the valley floor framed by forested hills. In the distance, Mike’s heavily loaded truck could be seen, gradually slaloming the gentle curves of the road until the truck finally swept out of sight.

56 A Silent Contemplation panel 3

The figure stood in motionless silence for a long minute. One hand held a glass of wine. Their other hand absentmindedly stroked a cat who’d climbed up on the windowsill seeking attention. Then, President Buchmann closed the shades, poured themself another glass of wine, took a Zoloft, and fed their cats.

He wanted to test the new Gender Awareness in Academia (GAIA) Act, but high-school biology teacher, Mike Andrews, got more than he bargained for. Arrested and thrown in jail for the crime of teaching the biology of sex determination and for refusing to affirm a student’s gender identity, Mike faces a show trial amid a media circus. The Wise of Heart offers a timely tale of transgender mania as author Hans G. Schantz re-imagines and updates the story of the Scopes Monkey Trial.
