Another comic publisher is looking to the web to attract new readers as AAM/Markosia has announced it has formed a new web comic division, and will feature Baby Boomers and Digging for Apples as its two kick-off titles.

“I am extremely excited by these two new properties,” says publisher Harry Markos. “They are in complete contrast to anything we’ve ever done before. ‘Baby Boomers’ is hilarious, I can only describe it as ‘two babies beating the crap out of each other when their parents aren’t looking!’ ‘Digging For Apples’ is our first foray into Manga — something I have been keen to explore for a while now. Donna Stewart has come up with an amazing story drawn in that style, but in full and lush color.”

The company says the stories will be collected for print once the web run has ended.

With the success of Mouse Guard, I expect to see many more anthropomorphized fuzzy critters running around in comics.

AAM/Markosia has sent Major Spoilers a sneak peek of N-Guard #1 featuring just such creatures fighting against something evil.

What’s that saying? You can’t keep a good man down? Such is the case with Lazarus, the brand new title from AAM/Markosia, publishers of King Kong, Startship Troopers, and The Boy Who Made Silence.

Publisher Harry Markos, states, “I am very excited about this title, which I am confident is going to attract a ton of positive reviews. Joseph’s script is amazing, you can see almost immediately that this is no ordinary take on the Lazarus story but something quite unique and remarkable. The stunning art brings the tale to life and immerses the reader into a dark and frenetic world filled with all manner of intrigue and action. It’s going to surprise a lot of people!”

AAM/Markosia has sent Major Spoilers a sneak peek at the six issue mini-series that arrives in June.

AAM/Markosia has launched a brand new website to showcase their titles. The site features news, previews, and links for everything related to the company.

Publisher Harry Markos explains, “We have a very exciting year ahead of us, with some groundbreaking new titles such as The Boy Who Made Silence, Lazarus: Immortal Coils, N-Guard, and Sunset to name but a few, and we are very keen to show people the positive direction that we are moving in. The new website, which was launched recently, will feature two new web comics by the end of April, as well as offering visitors the opportunity to download the first issue of every series that we have published for free. It will be updated on a much more regular basis, which was something we lacked previously and which was a constant source of irritation to many of our loyal supporters. It is an exciting time for us and we hope that we can show people that we are here for the long run.”

AAM/Markosia has sent Major Spoilers a sneak peek of The Boy Who Made Silence #2.

What is The Boy Who Made Silence? I’m glad you asked…

In The Boy Who Made Silence, deaf child Nestor Gudfred inexplicably creates utter silence around him, which compels the people near him into each other’s pasts and memories. As his religious rural community looks to him as a prophet, the story follows Nestor and a diverse cast of richly imagined characters as he comes of age, falls in love, and begins a search for his father.
