Art by Yuri, Story by Kosuke Unagi, Original Character Designs by Super Zombie
Debut Date: January 9, 2024
As far as adventuring goes, supporting your party is a thankless job—even more so if you’re just a lowly red mage like Yuke Feldio. So, when he gets fed up with his A-rank party of total a-holes, he ditches them for some former students—a trio of girls who just looove his company. Thing is, to conquer the world’s greatest dungeon and achieve his dream, he’ll have to teach these cuties a thing or two…and he may just learn there’s more potential within him (and them) then he ever knew.
Rated: 16+
It will be available on Bookwalker, Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, Google Play, Nook, Kobo, MyAnimeList, Mangamo and more!

Finally, a special collection of Immortals is coming soon from Markosia.
Just dropped from Markosia, UK’s leading Independent publisher, is the all-new collection of IMMORTALIS!

Heaven and Hell, Old gods, end of the world... careers have been built on less.
Tam Montefiore, born in 1813, is to be the one true Deicide in the war between heaven and hell and the old gods of myth. Led astray by false prophecies and her own beliefs, she finds herself 200 years in the future, being trained and protected by a team she doesn't know, and may not be able to trust. As she encounters enemies and loves from her past, she must decide if saving the world is what she really wants to do.
"Being new to the scene, but a life-long fan of the genre, I knew that I had a story to tell,” said Rion Mosley. “Collaborating with Shawn, we brought our shared passion for storytelling to life, crafting characters whose journey unfolds across the pages of this unique comic series. The world's fate hangs in the balance, woven through the tapestry of heaven, hell, and the enigmatic Immortalis herself."
Shawn Lewis added: "We wanted to write an epic story with heart, contained within a war between Heaven, Hell and the old gods of myth, a story that would hit the fans like a runaway train that is out of control!"
Where Warrior Nun Areala meets American Gods, it is Immortalis. As the war between heaven, hell and the old gods of myth begins, atheist Tam Montefiore finds herself in a position she never wanted; as the only one who can save them.
Creators Rion Mosley and Shawn Lewis will be in attendance at Albuquerque Comic Con, Jan. 19-21.
Immortalis drops in shops Jan. 30th and is now available for preorder on the Markosia website, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Waterstones, Foyles, Books-a-Million, and Indie Bound!
