Hexagon Comics Launch Guardian Of The Republic and Phenix in August

We like to keep an eye on Jean-Marc Lofficier's Hexagon Comics USA line, European comics mostly written by Jean-Marc Lofficier, translated into English and distributed solely through his website, Amazon page or at conventions. Selling enough copies to make it more than worthwhile, as well as making certain comics available to a wider English speaking audience. Right now that also means avoiding any kind of shutdown that doesn't include the postal service. Retailers can purchase them at a 40% discount from distributor Ingram or from the publisher. Here's their full line-up for August 2020 with Guardians of the Republic and Phenix. Retailers can purchase the books directly, by e-mailing jm@hexagoncomics.com
