Magic Cop
English
Blakewood Volume 1
Graphic Novel - Crime
Corrupt politicians. Murderous criminals. A missing teenager. And just a hint of magic.
Welcome to Metrogrande…
When a teenager with a taste for the arcane goes missing, occult investigator Antony Blakewood is dragged out of his pit of despair and onto a trail of violence, corruption and murder that leads from seedy flop-house to towering penthouse.
No-one ever said magic was pretty…
Marrying the hard-boiled detective fiction of Raymond Chandler to the esoteric mysticism of vintage pulp magazines, BLAKEWOOD is a thrilling neo-noir fantasy, set in a world not so very far from our own…
This first volume collects chapters one to seven of Kev Rooney's comic serial and will be continued in volumes two and three.

Bizarre Bazooka Bandits
Graphic Novel - Crime
The story is delivered in rap storytelling style and the comic strips in graffiti or murals style. This play or story does not follow the traditional 3 act story structure which is beginning, middle and end but I break it down into that structure of 2 different plays 1 and 2 separately. The victims of play 1 and 2 become victorious so they are no longer mentioned in play 3 and 4 which concentrates on the villains of play 1 and 2.
SPIRAL DOWN
Graphic Novel - Crime

Druid City
Graphic Novel - Crime
Once a promising and incendiary student journalist, Hunter Hastings’ fortunes just reversed. He’s been kicked out of his Master’s program, run out of the city of Austin, Texas, and landed back in his home town, Druid City. Hunter has no choice to get back on top but do what he does best; dig up a fresh, scandalous local news story. But considering the town he’s snooping around is the one where he burnt every bridge behind him on the way to Austin, the task remains easier said than done.
Each volume covers one of Hunter's investigations as he climbs his way up the ant hill that is college town local journalism. Along the way he may have to deal with the consequences of why he was kicked out of Austin to begin with.
Mr. Crimes
Graphic Novel - Crime
Mr. Crimes is a broken man in a broken city. He drinks too much, smokes too often, and drags himself through each day in a fog of regret and resentment. By night, he works a job he loathes — tracking down and punishing those who deserve it. It’s not justice. It’s not heroism. It’s just what he does, and he’s disturbingly good at it.
Once, Mr. Crimes was different. He was hopeful, in love, maybe even happy. But everything changed when she disappeared without a trace. Now, all that’s left is the empty bottle, the smoke in his lungs, and a never-ending parade of criminals to hurt.
This is not a story about redemption. This is about a man surviving the dark — even if he’s already part of it.
