Stunt by Alok Sharma
I began my comics journey as an uncredited inker on Spider-Man India, but quickly went indie. After working with Disney, Cartoon Network, and a host of other clients, I set out to reinvent Indian comics for the modern reader. The goal? Keep the storytelling indie in spirit, but never compromise on production quality… so it speaks to lifelong comic fans and new readers alike. My debut title under my own publishing banner is Stunt – a coming-of-age story that tackles mental health with honesty, but still packs the energy of a mainstream superhero origin. At its core, it’s a raw, heartfelt indie comic dressed in the skin of a genre book. My upcoming comic is about the origin of an Anti-Hero, seen from the lens of childhood traumas.

Don’t Tell My Wife I’m a Cult Leader, by Todd Steinberg and Jocelyn Diaz
It’s 1994, and the Internet is the apocalypse. Don’t Tell My Wife I’m a Cult Leader follows Floyd Simmons, a couch-surfing misfit, and Mandy, an artist on the cusp of fame, as their volatile romance fuels a rebellious movement. Framed by Floyd’s final standoff in the present day, this darkly comic odyssey charts how a ragtag crew of outcasts accidentally kickstarts a spiritual and cultural uprising at the dawn of the digital age.
Don’t Tell My Wife I’m a Cult Leader is an odyssey that blends dark comedy with a disruptive love story that sparks the spiritual evolution of Floyd’s band of outcasts as they fight and rise together—igniting a generation of rogues and heretics primed to forge the new millennium.

Area 51 Studios by Ernie Altbacker
Everything you’ve heard about Area 51 is wrong. It’s not a secret base with alien corpses and a crashed spaceship. It’s actually a studio where aliens come to film their galactic reality shows.
Area 51 Studios is a sci-fi comedy, a mashup of behind the scenes Hollywood comedies like Seth Rogan’s The Studio and the Larry Sanders Show mixed with Men In Black and Monty Python.
