Here at the digital ComiXology Submit camp we confront the dirty sea in Becky Cloonan’s Demeter, protect the secret family ingredient with the help of a witch and tune into some time travel, man!
The leader in the digital comics space opened up the platform to indie creators back in March of this year.
Writers and artists now have the chance to publish comics or graphic novels on the browser, tablet or phone using the Guided View technology. Comixology curates the submissions and soon the comic is put into panel by panel production for the viewer. The comics appear right on the digital store alongside all of the major publisher’s books.

Becky Cloonan (Buffy, Batman, Strange Tales) delivers Demeter, part of her one-shot short story series.
This is a richly illustrated romantic tale in one issue of a maiden in a lighthouse and her passionate love affair with Colin. The sea does not forget the debts owed to her, and seeks to take back from Anna that which is most precious to her.
Amazing art coupled with the tale that reads like classic literature makes for astounding comics.
Hard copies can be purchased at Becky’s new webstore with options that include silkscreen covers and sketch editions.

Time Samplers is a fun adventure title based on psychedelic time travel.
In order for the two main characters Cal and Lex to make a copy of the past and investigate Alexander Graham Bell’s illuminati time crimes, they must also dose on heavy DMT.
To be honest the storytelling in issue #1 has a lot going on that could use some simplification, but this is still a fun Butterfly Effect time travel tale.
