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.You can visit the campaign at bit.ly/TheSerpentMistress3!---------------------------------------------------------------Follow Matt Knowles Online:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/matt.knowlesInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/dranguishFollow Steph Cannon Online:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/StephCannonWritesInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/stephcannonwritesFollow Insymmetry Creations Online:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/insymInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/insymmetrycreationsBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/insym.bsky.socialYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@insymmetrycreationsllc5293Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/InsymmetryCreationsSubstack: https://insymmetrycreations.substack.comBandcamp: https://heirsofisildur.bandcamp.comWeb: https://www.insymmetrycreations.com---------------------------------------------------------------Follow Jason Bennett Online:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TahoeJBennettInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/tahoejbennettBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/tahoejbennett.bsky.socialYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TahoeJBennettFollow Comics Bodega Online:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ComicsBodegaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/comicsbodegaBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/comicsbodega.comFollow The Funky Flavor Podcast Online:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thefunkyflavorBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/thefunkyflavor.bsky.socialIf you are a comic creator looking to promote your project, feel free to email thefunkyflavorpodcast@comicsbodega.com and reach out with your info!

    The Funky Flavor Podcast Ep. 38 – Justin Coke of SWAT: Eldritch Blue #1
    Jun 17 2026

    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.

    The Funky Flavor Podcast Ep. 37 – Ernie Altbacker of AREA 51 STUDIOS #3
    Jun 13 2026

    Episode thirty-seven of The Funky Flavor Podcast features creator/writer Ernie Altbacker to discuss his Kickstarter campaign for AREA 51 STUDIOS #3. The campaign runs through Tue, June 9 2026 8:05 AM PDT.

    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.
