FOC Alert: The Digger Returns, Plus a Brand New Colonial Horror Series
Mark your calendars — June 29th is a big day for two very different books.
The Digger Reprint
The Digger has been one of our biggest indie hits to date. All four issues of the original series sold out, with issues 3 and 4 actually outselling issue 2. Given that demand, we're bringing the full run back for a limited reprint, featuring special new covers with a black-and-white and spot-color treatment on the original art.
This is a short window — FOC for all four issues is June 29th.

Debuting: This Land Is Old and Dark
Hitting FOC the same day is a brand new series: This Land Is Old and Dark, a colonial horror title from Crowe, Garcia, and Middleton, with Scott Snyder serving as mentor and consultant on the book.
Beloved by the people. Feared by the council. Hunted by something primeval. Jacques Du Lac is the most adored man in Fort Courage, and that makes him the most dangerous. When the corrupt leadership council decides his popularity threatens their grip on the settlement, they cast him beyond the fort's impenetrable walls and into the howling dark, where monsters wear the faces of the dead and the wilderness itself remembers every footprint.
It's atmospheric, unsettling horror — think Attack on Titan with skinwalkers.
