System Error follows ITTO, a tourism robot turned relic, on his quest through a deserted British landscape to fulfill his primary function: to help people. Through 6 issues, the reactivated ITTO overcomes many challenges posed by a robot-strewn environment no longer controlled by humanity.
ITTO awakes in an almost unrecognisable London through which he must search for a functioning power source. After locating a Tourtec support station, he replaces his core, and downloads the latest software update containing an emergency factory recall with scant details as to what befell the population.
Unknown to ITTO, however, is that he is not alone...

Under the leadership of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the politically aggressive Spiritualist movement appears to have found the answer to a riddle over a century in the making.
The alternating currents of reason and mysticism collide as the true titans of the twentieth century, including Houdini, Lovecraft, Tesla and more, wage war over the course of history itself. The heart of their conflict: the twisted form of fiction’s greatest, most blasphemous scientist – Victor Frankenstein.
When the only person you’ve ever loved dies, how far would you go to get them back?
Hob’s Lane is a three-issue mini-series examining the rapidly decaying life of John Tate, a recent widowed theoretical physicist whose world is spiraling dangerously out of control.
Tate is sure he can bring his murdered wife back, his research into parallel dimensions proves it, it’s all right there on his blackboard. But as he puts his plan into motion, and the bodies begin to pile up, Tate’s world soon collides with that of his old school friend, and now London cop, Doug Kendal.
This will not be an enjoyable reunion, and it isn’t long before they both find out that some things are best left undiscovered. That there are places where no one should go, where strangers are not welcome, where the abyss gazes back with hungry, grudging eyes.
In the end it’s all for love, and love might just be the end of it all.
