The students of Marianne's Crossing are all daughters of powerful and influential people, and that is the only reason that they are not in prison. The institution serves as school, prison, and rehab for girls who refuse to behave by society's rules.

When one girl causes a chemical spill, it leaves only a few people unaffected by the horrible transformations. Now only the most violent and clever girls are left to try and make their way from the deepest sub-basement through the blood-thirsty maniac hordes.

The bad girls get to play by their own rules in this story of survival, and no one may get out alive.

In the long days of summer a typical water gun fight has exploded into an epic water war. The children of Stone Creek have fortified jungle gyms, backyards, and parks as rival commanders plan the next offensive. On one side the older kids have formed “The Legion of Elders”. And on the other side is “The Resistance” — kids who refuse to take orders from tyrannical dictators.

During a daring twilight raid a team of Resistance spies are captured, but not before they send out a desperate message: a devastating new weapon is headed straight for Home Base.

Now follow Captain Ridge and the Eagle Eye squad as they press into enemy territory to free their captured comrades and take on the dreaded enemy Juggernaut.

We are proud to announce that Ancient Squid has signed RAmado-IMedia Arts onto the Broken Girls project. Artists from all over the world submitted test pages in hopes of being awarded the art commission and it took Ancient Squid several weeks to evaluate the avalanche of artistic skill. "All the talent that we saw made this decision the hardest I've ever been involved with, and we're really excited to have the team at IMedia Arts on the project and look forward to seeing their work come in," said Project Co-Writer Rob Beales. IMedia Arts is expected to take several months to complete the art.

As the exciting conclusion of Stormcrow nears completion, creators Daniel Levitch, Ari Levitch, and Keith Morange hope readers are prepared for great things.

The end is here! Emma’s secret has been revealed. Her brother, Faulkner, knows that she is Stormcrow, the city’s newest hero dedicated to waging war against the crime empire carved out by their father. Who then, can Emma turn to as her partners in justice begin to question her motives…and her past? “The series has always been driven by its characters,” says Ari, “and the characters are pushing the story into a dramatic and exciting place that is reflected in Keith’s artwork. You will enjoy!”

Loyalty or justice? The question will at last be answered in the final Stormcrow graphic novel due out Summer 2008.
