From Changing of the Guards by Matt Spencer “Severen, please, what are you—?” “What am I doing?” When Krathusha tried to rise again, Severen’s fist crashed into his face. “My job, your Grace. Arresting you.” His fist crashed down again. darkfirepress.com/books/changi... #ChangingoftheGuardsnovel

From Matt Spencer's Changing of the Guards (a long excerpt): You know what the Howling Hunt is, Captain?” Severen leaned back wearily and closed his eyes. “Sure. According to your people’s legends—” “Our history.” “Whatever.” Severen thought back on his studies of Schomite lore.

A great loss for independent and creator-owned comics this week with Mike Richardson being let go as CEO of Dark Horse Comics. Though the "Dark" in Dark Horse did not inspire our name, the spirit of what Dark Horse was doing (and hopefully will continue to do) did inspire us.
