Each tale is unique and each anthology boasts a variety of creative talent from across India!
The series contains a mix of one-off and episodic stories with hopes of bringing to the reader new and innovative characters and settings using the immense potential that Indian story-telling, history, culture and even mythology allows us to draw from and bring to new life.

Holy Hell: The Series (2013-22)
Do you dare to take a journey into the extreme? How about the absurd?
Welcome to the ComicCon India Award-Winning (we can’t believe it either!) world of “Holy Hell“, where the rules go out the window and sometimes so should the jokes!
Come join in the (un)adventures of our “heroes” Dara and Blue as they come face to face with the imagination-machinations of their creators!
“Holy Hell is one of those comics that make you realise how morbid life and times really are and how you can’t do much but laugh along. Akshay and Zafar’s writing and Abhijeets art makes Holy Hell worth reading more than once!”
– Sreejita Biswas (writer, Bangalore Mirror)
Retrograde Vol. 01: After The Storm (2011-12)
“No One Ever Expects An Apocalypse, It Just Happens.”- Unknown
Enter the world of Retrograde, where a terrible tragedy has returned the world to a Dark Age.
Now, as humanity faces a new dawn, a small group of survivors in an Indian hill-station struggle to stay alive. Isolated and alone, they face challenges from both outside and within.
The question isn’t how long they can keep the chaos out, but how much longer can they hold themselves together with no answers, no help and hope fading?
Read on to find out the answers to all this and more!

The house of Meta Desi brings this exciting new series to you in all its butt-kicking glory, collecting the first threee chapters in this oversized new volume!
Love Me Like a Psycho Robot (Special Indian Edition)
A limited Indian edition with this insanely AWESOME variant cover that artist extraordinairre Stephano Cardoselli crafted.
The story of Love Me Like A Psycho Robot revolves around a robot named “Love” who was created by a group of greedy, corporate fat-cats. These quintessential evil-dudes are trying to root out some tree-hugging hippies from some land that they’re squatting on. All previous attempts have utterly failed and so “Love” is their last chance. So they literally want to kill the hippies with Love. It’s an all-out b***s-to-the-walls action-fest but somewhere under it all it’s got a touch of social commentary, not too much, just enough to not impede the fun!
