Comics reviewers and interviewers! We just dropped the 1st issue of a new NECROPOLITAN miniseries. Looking to spread the word! Anyone interested or know someone who would be?

Mike Phillips @mikemakescomics.bsky.social · 13/10/2025

HUGE NYCC NEWS! Just kidding. New issue has dropped! It’s a prequel to Necropolitan #1. This one doesn’t take place in Hell. It’s like one of those Orange is the New Black flashback episodes before they’re in jail. www.drivethrucomics.com/en/product/5... It’s on Kindle too, but Bezos, ya know?

Julian Darius is one of the best undiscovered comics writers today. His NEMOT RISING space-horror mini is part of a larger Martian Universe that’s like a Mitchener-esque Martian saga: patreon.com/cw/martian/shop martianlit.com/comics/

My buddy Julian Darius has a killer series called THE SYNTHETICS. It’s part of a larger Martian Universe that’s like a Mitchener-esque Martian saga: martianlit.com/comics/
