Original comics, graphic novels and picture books. Elemental heroes, a king's lost heir, a village girl with big plans, and one very suspicious treat.
Four stories, four very different worlds, one studio. Pick a door.
4 Elementals, One to Avoid. Water, earth, wind and fire, and a balance that is about to break.
Meet the Elementals → Dark FantasyA dragon egg. An army of the dead. A peasant who should never have survived.
Enter the Kingdom → Graphic NovelFrom a green village in northern India to an American campus, Anjali has a plan. Everyone else has opinions.
Read Her Story → Kids Picture BookA spooky, silly picture book for brave little readers, written by a father and son team.
See the Book →Four strangers from four corners of the world wake up with powers they never asked for: Chloe commands water, Baraka moves the earth, Daichi rides the wind and Adriana burns with fire.
Together they are the balance. Apart, they are something the world should fear. And a shadowy organization called the Alchemist wants them both ways.
Rowan was raised right. A farming mother, an honest trade, a good heart. His nurture made him pure.
His nature is something else. Rowan is a peasant cursed with a loyal legion of demons, and every day they push him toward the evil in his blood. Every enemy he cuts down joins the army inside him. The real question isn't whether he can win the war. It's whether he can stop himself from becoming the king they were made to serve.
In development
Anjali arrives in a new country with a plan for everything. Then she meets the guy of her dreams. Desai keeps to himself, and everyone on campus says it's because he's the cocky quarterback. Anjali doesn't buy it, and she won't let go.
Under the smile and the wins is a weight he carries alone. Game Plan is a story about sorrow and depression, and about how none of us gets back up by ourselves. Sometimes we need the people around us to help us stand.

Liam loves to eat. Donuts, cupcakes, candy corn: if it's sweet, it's his. Reading? Not so much. He'd rather skip the words and get straight to the snacks.
So when a sign in the spooky woods says DO NOT ENTER, Liam reads it as "DONUTS, ENTER HERE!" One mysterious witch and a pile of enchanted sweets later, he learns the hard way that reading the signs might just save your belly.
Story by Shayden and "Daddy" Shenwari, illustrated by Dago Braute.
Next in the series: Liam's Zombie Parade.
Available in hardcover and ebook
As a kid, I wanted to write stories and make movies. Then I did what most people do. I grew up, went into business, and pushed that side of me down.
My son Shayden brought it back. Watching him dream up his own characters and worlds reminded me why I fell in love with storytelling in the first place. He's the reason I want to finally put all my stories out there.
I'm not doing this for money or fame. I want to show my son that the dream isn't making it big in an industry. The dream is sharing the joy of your imagination with others, and bringing them joy.Zain Shenwari · Founder, inZane Comics
