Owen the Barbarian has been cursed to do good with what remains of his life. His bloodthirsty weapon, Axe, has become his moral compass with a drinking problem. Together they wander the realm, foredoomed to help any who seek assistance. But there is one thing Owen hates more than a life with rules: Witches. Welcome to the skull-cracking, blood-splattering, mayhem-loving comic brave enough to ask: How can a man sworn to do good do so much violence? Hah! F***ing with you. It's just...BARBARIC.

Poop is a normal kid, with normal problems- you know, parents, homework, bullies. He used to have a normal name, too. But then he moved to a new school, and everything went down the toilet. That's the bad news. The good news: Turns out some names are special. Some names come with powers. Turns out those bullies really stepped in it. SOMETIMES BEING A KID CAN REALLY STINK. Will Poupé becomes the new target of bullies at his middle school. All day long, they call him Poop. However, when Icky the Janitor reveals himself to be a wizard in disguise, Will learns that there are Names of Power - if you are given one of these names, you gain certain abilities. Poop is one of those names. He now has powers that he could use to get back at the bullies! But power - even poop power - is exactly what can turn someone into a bully. With some help from his friends, Will must find a way to use his fantastic farting magic for good.

Jennifer McStay knows what it's like to feel trapped. Stuck in a world of violence, where once intimate spaces become claustrophobic, and everything seems to shrink until there's nothing left but fear. Maybe that means she'll be able to survive the real monsters, who live outside and hunt human emotion. Or maybe it means the monsters will finally be her escape.
