Welcome to Kagome

Somewhere deep in the Sink…

Kagome is a city of rain, neon and old secrets. Down in the Sink, under the east highway, people keep their heads down, especially on the one night a month the moon goes dark.

Corvin Hex is a man out of phase, and the city has started to notice. What's waiting on the other side of the seals is a story we're saving for the page.

One writer. Many hands.

Tamakire is a multi-artist series. Malo writes every page and draws his own. Alongside him, a lineup of artists will each bring their own style to Kagome, so every chapter looks different while one story holds it together.

Malo is the comic artist behind Art of Malo. Tamakire is his creator-owned series.

The artist lineup will be announced soon.
