What if superheroes existed in a world where every conspiracy theory was completely true? Monarch is a triumph, a story that rises above its roots to tell a larger tale about the darkest depths and loftiest heights humanity has hidden within itself.What if superheroes existed in a world where every conspiracy theory was completely true? Monarch is a triumph, a story that rises above its roots to tell a larger tale about the darkest depths and loftiest heights humanity has hidden within itself. Jeff Morgan is a typical cynical nobody, the type of paranoid blowhard that sees conspiracies behind every aspect of the society around him. His girlfriend was recently killed during an incident involving Monarch, the most beloved superhero in the world. Unavoidable collateral damage, of course. After meeting a strangely familiar person on the street one day, Jeff receives a call that recites odd code-phrases in his ear, and the horrible truth is revealed. He is actually Monarch, but due to hypnotic restraints placed into his mind by his handlers, his different personalities are completely ignorant of each other. In the world of Monarch, superheroes are created by brainwashing children using horrifically traumatic MK-Ultra techniques, and they are controlled by covert government organizations. The positive publicity about them in the mainstream press hides their actual hedonistic, sadistic natures, indulged and encouraged in secret by societal leaders in exchange for their servitude. But, ultimately, what’s the point of all that excess, all that suffering, all that evil? Monarch is an audacious and unflinchingly adult graphic novel. In it, writer Mauro Mantella and artist Martin Tunica use superheroes and conspiracy theories to explore questions about the cruelty and potential of humanity and beyond. Its depictions of brutality and wonder, tempered by its pitch-black sense of satire, bring its ideas into sharp relief and leave readers wondering about their own mores, their own worlds.

Sometimes the only path forward is through the past. Two things you need to know: The earth is dying and time travel is real. We have exhausted, no, abused, the fossil fuels of this planet and now we're facing a self-inflicted extinction level event. Our only hope, my team of Time Inflectors must travel back in time in order to save all of our futures. Earth is on the verge of extinction. We have limited crude oil and our primary fuel sources are negligible. The carbon clouds signal the end of our species. We have but a few options: leave the planet… or fix it. We are the TFA, a special Canada-based agency that stumbled across a revolutionary discovery. The fifth Elemental force. Time. We built a freaking time machine based on the new physical sciences, believing we can go back to the "inflection points" of this extinction level event and fix things. The irony here is that the fuel we need to operate the invention, is the very fuel that led us to this juncture. Even with the precautions in place we only have enough for a limited number of time jumps, 5 to be exact. To make things even more difficult, time travel has a few additional "restrictions" as the discovery of time as a fundamental force provides a Quantum and Physical science sandbox. This means that the tachyons that interact with matter do so similarly to protons and neutrons; they cannot engage in something that would create a paradox. In layman's terms, they prohibit certain interactions between those from the future and those in the present. I'm Doctor Malik Fikai, one of the three Inflectors tasked with going back and fixing this mess before it happens, otherwise our future is history. "The Fifth Force is a clever, educational read and will be the perfect book to study in either science or art classes" - Darryll Robson Monkeys Fighting Robots
