Unseen Life

MEMOIR / GRIEF COMIC

Life is made up of the moments no one else sees—the thoughts running beneath an ordinary conversation, the stories we inherit from the people we love, the absurdities that make us laugh, and the memories that mean everything after someone is gone.

In Unseen Life, artist and author Madison Cowles Serna brings together comics and personal essays spanning years of work, family, neurodivergence, creativity, grief, and growth. From awkward small talk and Japanese class mishaps to special lizards, small-business goblins, and a father who couldn't resist telling strangers about the James Webb Space Telescope, these stories find meaning in moments both ordinary and life-changing.

Neon Edge

COMEDY / ACTION COMIC

Neon Edge is a fast-paced, offbeat fantasy comic that follows a chaotic but lovable duo, Khiara and Kila, as they battle monsters, dodge villains, and somehow turn even the simplest errands into epic quests.

Khiara wields the Cycloptic Neon Edge, a strange and powerful weapon glowing with otherworldly energy. Kila channels the unstoppable Fury Force, bringing raw strength, reckless confidence, and plenty of laughs. Together, they navigate a world packed with bizarre creatures, ridiculous encounters, and moments of unexpected heroism.

This comic blends action, fantasy, and humor, perfect for readers who enjoy stories that don’t take themselves too seriously but still deliver adventure, heart, and style.

Fresh Soil
