THE FUTURE'S MOST DANGEROUS SPORT JUST GOT A NEW PLAYER. RAMG D follows Clint Bowler, a former troubled star athlete turned NCPD Beat Cop, as he tries to balance his dueling responsibilities as a cop and as a father.  But his teenage son, Malcolm, wants nothing to do with him. That is until Clint is recruited by Malcolm's favorite team in the world's most dangerous sport, RAMG D, after a video of him chasing a perpetrator goes viral. With a second shot at his dreams, and a chance to find common ground with his son, Clint's future is looking bright.  But looks can be deceiving in New City, and for Clint's new teammates, they have a nefarious side hustle that will force Clint to sacrifice his newfound stardom or his morality. Either way, it's a dangerous game. RAMG D feels like Point Break meets Fast & Furious, but in a CyberPunk setting that introduces a brand new super high-octane global sport.

In this thrilling debut, a CIA black-ops division clandestinely hunts – and eliminates – the most dangerous threat in history: MAGICK.
On a routine assignment, Agent Malek discovers a grimoire more powerful than a nuclear weapon … but when The Agency wants to recover the spellbook instead of destroy it, he begins to question their endgame.
Written by bestselling author Blake Northcott (Catwoman) with art by Giuseppe Cafaro (Suicide Squad), The North Valley Grimoire is an enchanted tale of espionage like none other. In Shops: Jul 03, 2024
