In September, 2023, Rebellion Publishing released two amazing graphic novels that are totally out of this world. One of them is an epic action-packed sci-fi adventure called, 'Robo-Hunter: Planet of the Robots', whereas the other one consists of a collection of supernatural stories and called, 'Misty: 45 Years of Fear'. In fact, both of these graphic novels are so bloody amazing, that I thought it would be a jolly good idea to give you a quick glimpse of each one. Here 👇, check them out and let me know what you think in the comment section below.
