Augmented Reality turns the reader into an active member of the Society of Creative Creature Catchers. Your job is to find, catch and release cute, colorful critters like the Zink Tropper, Bleepo, Flinx and Rambous Swoosher. In doing so, you’ll also learn about the real earth animals that inspired them in the app’s Taxonomy section. Children just learning to read can follow along as Malcolm Tanner narrates the entire story to them! For even more fun, hide creatures in your home and let the kids find them in Hide and Seek.

Enchanting, entertaining and educational, this is the book parents, teachers and librarians asked us to make. Coming later this year: Creative Creature Catcher: Field Trip!

“It’s a complete delight. Exactly the sort of interactive fun that’ll have kids exploring the world, right beside their own imagination.”

- DUNCAN ROULEAU (Creator of Ben 10 and Big Hero Six)

“What an awesome leap forward for children’s books! A wonderful blend of reading, adventure, and real interactive-story-telling that totally takes everything to the next level of FUN!” - KEVIN EASTMAN ILLUSTRATED CHILDREN’S BOOK (Co-Creator of the FULL COLOR: 32pp Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) In a post-Earth future, humanity is strewn across the galaxy, living in city-sized orbital platforms or on distant colony worlds. All aspects of society—economic, military, judicial, media —are controlled by a single entity: the Conglomerate. Wealth is the only measure of status and power, and the vast majority of it is held by a select few shareholders while the common citizens of the Conglomerate have never known any other way of life.

Samantha, the daughter of a powerful Conglomerate executive, wants to change that.

Accompanied by a fellow diplomat, a dishonorably discharged soldier and her lifelong android servant, a mission of hope spirals into one of survival. Stranded on an alien planet with no equipment and no hope of escape, they must survive a civil war between alien races and creatures with magical powers. This is scifi-fantasy on a truly massive scale.

“The kind of book you’d want on a desert island… cinematic, widescreen pages of a sci- fi universe akin to something out of the Star Wars or Mass Effect franchises.” -USA TODAY

“Loaded with offbeat characters and idiosyncratic socio-structures, Anomaly does a smashing job of bringing us back to the fundamentals of humanity.”

- RIDLEY SCOTT (The Martian, Alien, Blade Runner, Gladiator) OVERSIZED GRAPHIC NOVEL (Landscape, 16.5” x 11.5”) FULL COLOR: 370pp The longest original full color graphic novel ever published! In this sequel to the ground-breaking graphic novel ANOMALY, the survivors of a doomed exploratory mission will challenge the very system that sent them off to die. Captained by Jon, a veteran soldier seeking redemption from his past, and inspired by Samantha, a wealthy elite shareholder who yearns for a more just society, they are determined to expose the dark secrets that keep the Conglomerate in power.

They will take their stand at a place called the Rubicon, a planet-wide display of power, wealth and military might. A showy and decadent high- tech carnival where the latest killing machines are paraded before the public as the ultimate show of strength for a government that believes itself to be invulnerable.

Joined by a number of unlikely allies, they will strike a blow for freedom or die trying.

The Revolution starts now.

“Great sci-fi transports us to unimaginable worlds, populated with unforgettable characters, yet somehow manages to be a reflection of our current times. ANOMALY: THE RUBICON is no exception...” - ANDREW STANTON (Writer: Toy Story, Monsters, Inc., Finding Nemo, WALL-E)

“It was worth every split second of the 95 years, some months, weeks and days it took me to find...ANOMALY: THE RUBICON. Pick it up at the risk of becoming addicted.”

- KAREN BERGER (Vertigo, Founding Editor)

But Saul has a dark secret. He’s not the genius everyone believes him to be. He was merely the first to successfully interpret a signal we received from outer space in the 1940s. The message contained every bit of technological knowledge from an advanced alien civilization… and a warning:
