One of the newest indie comic publishers on the scene, TKO is returning with its third wave of original graphic novels, a new line up with three titles to choose from. All will be released in TKO's traditional three formats at one time. There will be a collected trade, a boxed set of six single issues, and digital versions, all available at launch. And, while the first two waves were diverse in the genres they explored, the third wave titles explore horror and science fiction from a combination of big-names and up and coming creators.

One such title is Redfork, a horror story written by Alex Paknadel with art by Nil Vendrell, colors by Giulia Brusco and letters by Ryan Ferrier. The story follows an ex-convict, Noah McGlade, returning to his hometown only to realize it has sunken into economic ruin. Upon spending some time in the town, Noah realizes that there is something sinister afoot that seems to be the root of the problems plaguing his home. Something monstrous is threatening a town that he once knew and he has to do whatever he can to figure it out.
