HOLOGRAM #5 will be ready for SPACE 2022 as well! Chapter 5 of our Counting the Days arc begins with the office fallout from Joe’s accident, givesContinue reading “Hologram #5 is live”

Everyone has signed off, the bill has been paid, the files have been uploaded…so it’s time to announce HEROES NOW #1!
