Ever have a bad day? What if it’s not coincidence? Karma Incorporated is the story of two con artists, two hackers, and a retired hit man who go into business, turning a profit on minor sabotage. These mischief-makers wreck havok on everyone from the average Joe to the corporate CEO. No one is safe, if the money is right. Against better judgment, Karma Incorporated targets Rob Wilson, a previous customer, whose adulterous wife hired them. Marsha Elliot struggles with a guilty conscience and decides to pull the plug on the company. Before they can pack up, Rob retaliates against the mischief-makers, bringing the police to shut them down.

“Terrific story. Terrific dialogue. Terrific idea.” — Marc Mason, Movie Poop Shoot

“One of the funniest comics I have ever read. Readers should read with care as this is a certifiable gut buster!” — Raven Gregory, writer for The Gift

“I plowed thru Karma Incorporated and loved every second of it. The concept is great and the characters are solid.” — Dave Crosland, Hiredmeat.com

“What works here is the ensemble cast that Hopkins has created. This book is essentially a group of people in a room arguing. The characters needed to be likable (and flawed) and their voices needed to be separate and distinct. Hopkins was able to deliver on both counts. The sequences at the offices of Karma Inc. were a big highlight. Hopkins’ dialogue just pops in these sequences.” — Matt DeWoskin, Comixtreme.com

“We’re enjoying the hell out of this book: it’s funny, it’s got a nice trace of bitterness, and we have no idea where the hell it’s going.” — NeedCoffee.com

Emily Edison leads an action packed, double-dimensional life. Her dad is a super genius appliance repairman, who opened a portal with his nuclear powered vacuum cleaner. After stepping through it, he met, fell in love with, and married Emily’s would be mother from another dimension. They had Emily and lived happily for a few years. However these interdimensional romances never last, and Emily’s parents divorced. Since then, Emily has divided her time between two worlds. Her hectic teenage life is becoming a blur – homework, slumber parties, unrequited crushes, school dances, and on top of all that: A jealous alternaverse grandfather, who hopes to bring her home by destroying the earth.

Reality hangs in peril, and Emily must use her other worldly powers to save the planet she calls home in the ultimate interdimensional custody battle.

“The creators’ enthusiasm for the character is infectious. The tone swings from the cool of a standard teen webcomic to a Ren-and-Stimpy pitch of feverishness while bringing a surprising level of realistic teenage Americana to the character.” “Highly recommended for all libraries.” — Erika Bennett, The Library Journal

“This is the best of what you remember from cartoons and comics of your childhood. I cannot recommend this any higher for younger teens all the way up.” — Scott Tingley, Comics in the Classroom

"I loved Emily Edison.” — Rebecca Buchanan, Sequential Tart

“The comic does in 32 pages (all story) what most adaptations of such plays don’t manage in far lengthier productions: tell the story adeptly. Not only does it cover the main points and convey the themes, it also maintains a pleasant and page-turning pace — and it does all of this while keeping the entertainment goodness. As someone who has studied and taught Sophocles (including Antigone), I give serious kudos to the creative team here, especially writer David Hopkins.” — Ray Sidman, Comics Buyer’s Guide

“Plot-wise, nothing is altered from the source material, yet what Hopkins has altered is just this side of brilliant.” “Antigone is a superior work that bridges the gap between comic books and literature.” — Dave Baxter, Broken Frontier

“Antigone is a classicist’s dream, a great example of how relevant and exciting these stories really are. It’s a comic fan’s delight, as it’s got a nice fresh look, a great sense of design and a witty and refreshing writing style. Whether you’re into Aeschylus or Action Comics, you’ll love it.” — Leah Moore, writer for Wild Girl, Albion, Tom Strong’s Terrific Tales

“The stories are reminiscent of Tales of The Crypt, Twilight Zone and Creepshow. Especially ‘Siren Song’ written by David Hopkins, which brought to mind Creepshow’s ‘Something To Tide You Over’ probably because of the beach theme, but the two stories couldn’t be any different.” — OpenBookSociety.com

Note: We never completely finished this short story. We had plans to color it—and I think we were just going to self-publish it. I don't remember, and I don't even remember who came up with which ideas. We were all just joking around, and certain things stuck. But I love "The Henchman." It never fails to make me laugh when I reread it. For that reason alone, it's worth sharing.

“It creeps up on you, but it’s quite good. This is the level of quality all mini-comics should aspire to.” — Steven Grant, CBR’s Permanent Damage column

“This is a story told in spaces and silences, in glances and glares. Instead of telling you every last detail of every last aspect of every last character, as so many comic storytellers are wont to do, Hopkins uses the page for what it’s worth, and what it’s there for, and shows us like a good writer should.” — Roxanne Bielskis, Poverty Comics

“I really thought this was very enthralling, and once I started reading it I had to finish, which, in all honesty, doesn’t happen with a lot of books I get sent these days.” — Paul Hornschemeier, Forlorn Funnies
