Portland, OR – Comics and graphic novel publisher ABLAZE sets up video game inspired adventure, high school slice-of-life, martial arts action, Minecraft-originated all ages fun, H.P Lovecraft off world surrealism and more as it details new titles set for November print and digital release.

ABLAZE leads off with ELLE(S), a vibrant, imaginative new series featuring brilliant, Pixar-esque art from Aveline Stokart, and an engaging story by Kid Toussaint that brings moments of real

emotion, mystery, intrigue, and humor together during the epic highs and lows of high school.

Elle is just another teenage girl…most of the time. Bubbly and good- natured, she wastes no time making friends on her first day at her new school. But Elle has a secret: she hasn’t come alone. She’s brought with her a colorful mix of personalities, which come out when she least expects it… Who is Elle, really? And will her new friends stand by her when they find out the truth?

TRAVELING TO MARS, Issue 1  MSRP: $3.99 

Available November 9^th

A riveting story of planetary exploration and of finding meaning in your final days. TRAVELING TO MARS tells the story of former pet store

manager Roy Livingston, the first human to ever set foot on Mars. Roy was chosen for the unlikely mission for one simple reason: he is

terminally ill and has no expectation of returning. Roy is joined on his mission by Leopold and Albert, two Mars rovers equipped with artificial intelligence, who look upon the dying pet store manager as a sort of god. Against the backdrop of not only his waning days but those of human civilization as well, Roy has ample time to think about where

things went wrong for both and what it means to be a dying god.
