The Mercy Wars has gained great reviews and critical acclaim and collects the hard to find issue zero and issues #1 to #6 of the mini series released in 2009. Written by Brendan Deneen with art by Paul Green, Flash Gordon : The Mercy Wars #1 sold a staggering 15,000 copies of its debut issue in July 2008 and since then fans have just loved Ardden's twist on a the classic sci-fi hero.

The follow-up collected edition, The Invasion Of the Red Sword, is also written by Deneen by this time Edu Garcia provides the interior artwork, with colors by JOK and will be 160 pages with additional material and priced at $19.99.

Ardden has something planned for the New York Comic-con this fall for Flash fans - so make sure you're they're to "pick up" the excitement!

Both Brendan and yours truly would like to let you know that Flash will return with another series very soon and after IOTRS is wrapped up in August. We're so pleased with the feedback we're getting - and the fanbase we've built - that we'd love to keep it going for another 1000 issues, but Brendan has a definitive story that will end after 24 issues and as they say "all good things come to an end."

We'd also like to thank you for the emails that amassed after another indie publisher announced that it too would be publishing Flash Gordon. We're none too worried as we know that when we all look back in a few years we'll all agree that Ardden's Flash was the best one out there. They say that imitation is the highest form of flattery -- and we tend to agree! :)

Moving on... we have lots planned. The last few months have been rather busy for us with several new indie signings, one of which has caught the eye of several international publishers and studios. But for now... Flash is our main goal and to make sure you love what we're doing each and every month.

The popular mythology that these incendiary artists may’ve faked their own deaths is the jumping off point for Comeback Kings, an exciting comic which finds the legends alive and well, part of Project Resurrection, a global crime-fighting unit that’s a cross between The League Of Extraordinary Gentleman—and Celebrity Rehab. They’re the world’s most famous dead superstars—and they’re living superspies? Yep—and that’s when things really start to get wild.

When a terroristic reality tv supervillain plans to extend his 15 minutes of fame by making a play for infamy via a Hollywood holocaust, the Comeback Kings must put aside their differences and reunite for an encore in order to stop him. The show must go on!

They say, “If you die in your dreams, you die in real life...”

For half-Native American Minx, this is not superstition - it is reality. Once a struggling young artist in New York City, Minx’s life is changed forever after suffering a vicious attack and slipping into a coma. But she doesn’t wake in the same world she left; rather, she finds herself in Dreamtime, the alternate reality that humans inhabit when they sleep.

With this transition comes great revelation and profound responsibility as Minx evolves into a sophisticated warrior, charged with protecting people from a complex agenda that seeks to transform nightmares into realities and realities into nightmares. But Minx’s role as vigilante is not born from random coincidence: it is the result of elaborate conspiracy, ancient prophecy, and devastating betrayal...
