DEATH, COLD AS STEEL
A TALE OF THE S.Q.R.L.
by Bram Meehan and Jamie Chase

1946: The war is over, thanks in part to a new kind of weapon: humans with extraordinary powers. Battle-scarred veteran Aubrey Norris works for the government agency that oversees these "meta-humans" — and he's about to come face-to-face with the dark side of this bright new world when he's called upon to solve an exceptional crime.

For readers who like their plot twists frequent, their protagonists hard-boiled, and their comics dark — literally and figuratively. Death, Cold As Steel is set in the same world as Panel Press’ Raised By Squirrels, and offers background to that title while presenting a standalone story.

RAISED BY SQUIRRELS VOLUME 1
by Bram Meehan and Monica Meehan

The last person he thought he'd ever see is back, and she needs his help. Suddenly, Tyler McAllister is drawn back into the world that he thought he had left behind — of metahuman espionage and all-too-human betrayal — that nearly cost him his life.

For readers who enjoy the high-tech espionage of 24 and Alias and the spy/superhero mix of Sleeper and Checkmate, like a sprawling conspiracy that re-imagines 20th century history, and appreciate a character-driven, indie perspective.
