Every day we update the site with a different comic strip. The installments are then collected by title in the menu above so you can read the complete issues in gallery form.

Brendan McGinley

lives in New York City, because the food here is delicious. He is the writer of Heist, Dose, Citizen X, Hannibal Goes to Rome, She’s Famous Now, and Invisible, Inc. Upcoming projects include the superhero romance Double Falsehood, and the paranoid horror Black Ambulances with Steven Grant.

He interned at Marvel and DC before joining the staff of Wizard magazine. In 2007 he began publishing Dose, a black-and-white humor anthology. He next undertook the historical epic Hannibal Goes to Rome, which was picked up by Image Comics’ Shadowline imprint following its run at DC’s Zuda competition. That same year saw the superhero conspiracy Invisible, Inc., and the story of the world’s greatest supervillain, Heist (co-plotted with Josh Elder). In 2009, he launched Citizen X, a western set in a world where Carthage defeated Rome, and cobbled together the Grassroots anthology (co-edited with Chris Lawson).
