Among its most representative titles are POST-HUMAN IDIOSYNCRASY (2022), a transhumanist comic by M. Ryle that explores post-biological identities and the fusion between body and technology; CULTURISMO HARDCORE #2 (2024), a collection of visual essays and critical texts on pop culture phenomena—from cinema to gaming—analyzing their aesthetic, affective, and ideological effects in contemporary society; and DIMENSIONAL MERGE: RISE OF THE SHADOW GOVERNMENT (2025), by Rudolfo da Silva, which blends speculative autofiction with a visual essay in the form of an interview with art historian Frankie Fey, addressing fandom culture, digital art, and the limits of the internet.
