The Argonaut
ARGONAUT is a dizzying blend inspired by 2001: A Space Odyssey, Planet of the Apes and John Carter Warlord of Mars. Human astronaut Tom Mobius is cast through hyperspace to the savage and mysterious planet Nova, where he comes to the aid of a beautiful Amazon before embarking on even more astonishing adventures.
Through it all there is also the deeper mystery of the alien artefact codenamed Cyclops...
ARGONAUT is an animated series in the GOLDEN UNIVERSE (ETERNIUM era) as well as an ongoing comicbook series from Zodiac Comics. As part of the Mature Zodiac imprint it will feature partial nudity and more direct representations of violence, as well as a variety of art styles in addition to Zodiac's normal CGI artwork.

Behold... THE RAVE!
Future, n.
That period of time in which our affairs prosper, our friends are true and our happiness is assured.
Flash forward 60 years from the era of the noir superhero TEMPLAR... To the mean streets of Harbor City and the era of Eternium!
The Guardians of Justice that were are long gone, disbanded, wound up, underground or missing. In this age of police state controls and subversion, what kind of heroes will emerge?
The heroes we need. The heroes we deserve.
From the back of the Eternium paperback:
"In ETERNIUM, the setting is the enemy.
Back in the 1920s, they thought "now" was going to be the Golden Age.
We were all going to fly around using rocket packs, take holidays in outer space and be waited on hand and foot by compliant aliens and friendly robots.
Ah well.
The streets are angry machines conveying criminals to their victims. Superheroes are so embattled by OMAC and other sinister government agencies many are afraid to act to fight crime. And the aliens are not compliant. The robots are not cute.
It's time for heroes to take back their world."
So against that vision of the near future written in 2004, appears the rumbunctious, schizoid RAVE! Is he mutant, alien, demon, psychic projection... Or something else entirely?
First episode and comicbook coming soon!

Anthony Westwood: MYSTERY WRITER
Mystery Writer is a series centering around Anthony Westwood, a short story writer and novelist. As people he encounters frequently ask, "can you actually make a living doing that?"
My answer from real life experience would be, "not really, unless you are one of the anointed puppets of the publishers of pablum".
Mystery Writer takes a dry humourous tone about the various crimes, cons and mysteries that Anthony Westwood encounters in his travels. One part Murder She Wrote, one part X-Files and one part... Something else entirely!
Mystery Writer's plots stem from various sources- classic crime fiction, Zombienomicon and its associated spinoffs, themselves a spinoff from Eternium, and from urban legends, modern myths, folklore and the genuinely unexplained.
First animated episode of Mystery Writer is already up. Second one up soon! Also the eps will not be a standard length, just however long it takes to tell the story!
A comicbook will also be published, similarly to TEMPLAR, only with more pages and some Silver Age style articles and features in addition to the comicbook stories themselves. The comics will also be done in a wide variety of styles over its run to reflect the different genres Mystery Writer explores on film...
