But a generation later, the name of Dorothy Gale lives on in her granddaughter, an Iraq war veteran grappling with disillusionment and PTSD — until a tornado strands her in the war-torn battlefield known only as The O.Z. Forced to navigate warring factions led by the Tin Soldier, the Scarecrow, and the Prince of Lions, Dorothy must face her past and embark on a dangerous quest for the all-powerful Silver Slippers if she ever hopes to bring peace to the Occupied Zone. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE O.Z. #3 is still live.

    Episode thirty-nine of The Funky Flavor Podcast features co-creators/co-writers Matt Knowles & Steph Cannon to discuss their Kickstarter campaign for TATSUMI: The Serpent Mistress #3. The campaign runs through Friday, June 26th 8am PDT/11am EDT. ~ TATSUMI: The Serpent Mistress #3 Written by Matt Knowles & Steph Cannon Art by Alessandro Ventura Colors by Alan Emmanuel Letters by Matt Knowles TATSUMI NAKIHANA is the last remaining daughter of the fallen Yamaran Empire. Retribution and revenge fuel her quest to destory the evil horde that left her kingdom as nothing more than a trail of embers, ash, and corpses: The post-human DARK KONQUESTORS, and their vampire-like, spirit sucking accomplices: The SOUL RIPPERS. Simply stated, it's about a lone surviving martial arts heroine (Tatsumi) who mysteriously gets mixed up with a band of treasure seeking pirates: The Crew of THE SIDESTALKER. While her ultimate goal is clear: find and assemble a force that can combat and wipe those that razed her empire from the map - she first must figure out her own path of survival in a swashbuckling world she didn't even know existed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TATSUMI: The Serpent Mistress #3 is still live.

    TFFP Ep. 38 – Justin Coke of SWAT: Eldritch Blue #1

    Episode thirty-eight of The Funky Flavor Podcast features creator/writer Justin Coke to discuss his Kickstarter campaign for SWAT: Eldritch Blue #1. The campaign runs through Sunday, June 21st 2026 5:55 PM PDT. SWAT: Eldritch Blue #1 Written by Justin Coke Art by Rachel Distler Letters by DC Hopkins Facing layoffs and not wanting to fire Tiny Tim because he's really good at sneaking around, Larry and Mimi decide to call in a tip on a vampire they know who has a few too many bodies in his backyard. If there's a red ball, there's no layoff, right? But Drac is a bit smarter than they thought, a bit better connected than they thought, and the case takes them into the darkest, most messed up parts of the supernatural underworld. The unimaginable consequences of some minor office politics resonate through the full 36 issue run of Eldritch Blue, taking Larry and the rest of SWAT through a gleefully psychotic journey that you will never see coming and will keep you laughing--- and crying--- until the end. It all begins in SWAT #1. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SWAT: Eldritch Blue #1 is still running, but barely.

AREA 51 STUDIOS #3 Written by Ernie Altbacker Art/Colors/Letters by Steve Bryant Our story centers on one alien producer in particular, Zephril Boon. ZB, as friends and frenemies alike call him, lives to rub elbows, claws, tentacles, pseudopods, testenticals (don't ask) with the same outrageous, weird, hilarious, and exhilarating personalities and situations that we’re familiar with in “our” Hollywood. Only…more so. ZB is on the last of a long queue of "very last" chances. This is it! He'll do anything to save his once-great career from the flaming dumpster fire that it will become if his new show, The Human Race, fails. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AREA 51 STUDIOS #3 is still running, but barely.
