ARCHBLUE COMICS
Dreams Have Teeth
Dreams don’t die.
They molt. They mutate. They hide in the dark until they are strong enough to claw their way into the light.
When I was a teenager, someone told me what I couldn’t do. We argued. Loudly. That night, my imagination answered for me.
I woke from a fever-bright dream, grabbed a pencil, and poured everything I had seen onto paper before it could escape. Those first drawings and frantic notes became INTERLOPER: DEATH TAKES A KNIGHT.
In my twenties, I created a story for a marvelous character. It was rejected.
Good.
Rejection forced me to tear the idea apart, rescue its beating heart, and rebuild it into something stranger, stronger, and entirely my own. That transformation became AUTONOMI—a story about identity, technology, and the dangerous question of what it truly means to be alive.
In my thirties, I became fascinated by entrepreneurs, scientists, and the impossible businesses born in garages, dorm rooms, laboratories, and lines of code. I took the brilliant mad scientists of pulp fiction, placed them in competition with one another, and let their ambition run wild.
The result was THE PARA PROJECT, where genius becomes obsession and world-changing technology is only one bad decision away from becoming world-conquering technology.
And then there is the moment when reality switches off and another world clicks into place.
That click inside your head—the instant the virtual becomes real—is the NIGHTSWITCH.
Around the corner, the universe gets even stranger.
At the bakery in 365 FLAVORS OF AWESOME, every extraordinary dessert comes with an unexpected side effect: a superpower. Next door, the butcher serves the finest monster meats this side of the Milky Way, supplied through a network stretching across alien planets, impossible ecosystems, and dimensions best left off ordinary maps.
Together with a fallen star who brings out the light in everyone she touches, the butcher and baker become something older than folklore and stranger than legend.
They become the BAKED GODS.
BAKED GODS reimagines the butcher, the baker, and the candlestick maker as a cosmic trio operating at the edge of science fiction, mythology, and superhero adventure. They create impossible foods, feed heroes, supply monsters, ignite living light, and support a universe filled with people far more powerful—and often far less sensible—than themselves.
Far beyond the bakery, another story begins beneath the crushing blue atmosphere of Neptune.
ARCARA follows a young woman sacrificed to the mysterious Arch of Blue and reborn in a world of diamond storms, alien oceans, ancient predators, and forgotten kingdoms. Torn from Earth and transformed by forces she cannot yet understand, Arcara must survive the creatures hunting her, confront the powers reshaping her, and discover whether she was sent to this world as a victim, a weapon, or its future queen.
Her story is one of transformation, endurance, and conquest—not the conquest of nations, but of fear, fate, and the identity others tried to impose upon her.
These stories are built from old dreams, new technology, cosmic wonder, heroic ambition, and the stubborn belief that imagination should never behave itself.
