The NuWorld Chronicles is a labor of love almost 30 years in the making. An ode to the comics of the 90’s that inspired it, NuWorld is a version of Earth that’s history and therefore future was altered by a number of events. Picking up in 1985, The NuWorld Chronicles introduces the reader to it’s world by way of mankind's greatest creation: The Meta-Human. Created to fight the battles ordinary men could not, the veterans of the great Meta-Human army are now home from their conflict The Great War. The fate of the world itself hangs in the balance as humanity decides what to do with these new super humans now walking among them. An Entire Universe. In One Title. Upon reading issue one, I was curious to see what sort of story it would tell. Although the futurustic alternate earth setting isn't something that I naturally gravitate toward, the premise of the story was very interesting.  The overarching plot of "Meta-Humans" against ordinary humans proved to hav...

I was absolutely blown away after reading the first two issues of Peter Taylor's "Wren". A historic based fantasy story set during the Black Plague and burning of London in the late 1600s. I took some time to chat to Peter about what it took to bring this book to life. What made you decide to start writing comic books?

But when the pandemic presented the opportunity (I was working from home and we couldn’t see our grandkids) the idea of writing ‘something’ sprang back to my mind … and given the story of ...

For the first time in history, the world looks to science for a way out of hell! The newly formed Royal Society are enlisted by the British Government and the Military Establishment to contain a pandemic that has consumed London and threatens the world. Enlisted to search for answers - and hope! But when science is ignored, the bravest are silenced and even the truest can be corrupted - everything is at risk and nothing is as it seems! Question what you know! London will burn, but was the fire misfortune foreseen or planned? Who is in control and what is to gain? Discover the sinister truth behind the history of the City and the Society that changed the world! Upon seeing the setting for this story, I was a little intimidated by the idea of the time period. History was never my strong point and I was concerned I wouldn't have an interest in an English history adaptation, particularly the Black Plague! However, after reading the first two issues, I was pleasantly surpris...
