ZERO DARK ALPHA - ISSUE 002, UNDER GOING FURTHER EDITS AND PAGE ADDITIONS: If we were to release it today this issue would be 23 pages. This particular issue is slated to be approximately 35-40+ pages. It will be priced the same, as the full issue version of Zero Dark Alpha - Special Issue 001. There will be no free issue versions forward of this series. This series? Is the main story of Zero Dark Alpha.
We are a small team and right now, as we speak. Our founder Dane DeBro is finishing the final edits and layouts of this issue. We usually do not like to provide official release dates, at this time. Reason? Often unexpected changes can take place, at any time during our productions creation. As we grow larger that will obviously change.
As by now you should know? Dane DeBro is our founder / owner. Dane, is also the creator - author / writer for the Zero Dark Alpha webcomic series. Sometimes changes will occur, that we feel will make the story more dynamic. Right now, as we speak. Dane has made changes to future issues, that will ensure that from his original scripts already completed & outlines, that are done. Will make the Zero Dark Alpha storyline more affective.
You need to understand. Although we are currently about to release Zero Dark Alpha - Issue 002. Per writing and story we are up to Volume 6 of this series. (Remember! Zero Dark Alpha volume arcs are six issues combined). So in other words creatively we are way ahead of the curve. The art and placement of its exhibition, is what makes these take a bit. Why? We have to draw or piece the words on paper into Images and characters interacting. Just like anyone piecing a web-comic or comic together. Plus being a small team. We work, as fast as, we can while also managing personal lives. It's tough, but Dane and us love what we do. We will release everything we announce. All that may change is story or timing. So be patient.

HELL RYDERS M.C. - ISSUE 001: This issue is currently on a back burner. We wanted to have it finished this year, but the winds of fate are not playing ball. This story, is actually planned to be only 10-11 issues. Currently? Dane is re-working this series to fit better into the rest of the Zero Dark Alpha series. Since this story, is a side or off shoot of the line.
There are elements and concepts in this stories outlines, that we feel need to be re-visited and examined. Since this series of the Zero Dark Alpha web-comics is slated to only be 1-11 issues. We want to ensure we can affectively tell the whole story within that frame.
We also felt it needed some revisitation on the dynamics of characters within the story. Regardless this story is going to be released when the time is right. Once we get these matters resolved it will be back on track. It's still on our production table, but certain aspects of its story need adjusting. Within our stories we are trying to keep from referencing to many aspects that may spark un-warranted nor wanted controversy. Meaning? Controversy, that is not needed. We want to tell a good story here not create discontent.

A PLEASANT NIGHT - A Moth-man examination: If you have traversed the site here. Especially the store area under books. Then you may have seen this title listed or promoted. Here at Zero Dark Art Studio & ZeroDarkArt.com. We will be releasing books in time. This particular feature and book, is and has been done for a couple of years. It is currently being fashioned into book form. It will be released into digital form first. Just like all of our titles. Until we can eventually get it into hard copy.
What is this? This book is just a examination into tales and theory of the Moth-man. A cryptid, that has haunted civilization not only since 1967, but through out recorded history. This was a book, that Dane wanted to do and also give reason, as to why he chose the concept of this creature to be utilized into the Zero Dark Alpha stories and universe.
It is slated this short book will be anywhere from 80 - 150 pages. More or less pending its final form. This title will be available soon.
As time moves forward. We will release various books on various topics. Not all based on pseudo science, but books based on various topics and random things.

SOUTHWEST JOURNEYS - DOCU-SERIES:
Dane and Zero Dark Art Studio have had a change of mind or concept to how this series is going to be presented, in the current future.
As we speak. There is a Southwest Journey's episodes or season one that exists. We are no longer going to proceed with the concept of doing series or episodes with this branded concept. (At this time or point in time). Going forward. We will be pursuing completing and doing 20 - 1.5 hr long film releases of this series with the same title.
We would love to create this into a episodic concept, but we have other matters per growth, that we are going to see to first. Also. The Youtube channel created for our studio, was only designed to post vids to the site. We really don't like being on YouTube. So we are looking into other platforms to provide what we do. YouTube, at this time, is the easiest to utilize to get our vids posted to our official site. Until we go with a platform, that meets our needs. Some of our creations will be on YouTube, but by the end of 2025 expect that to change.
One day in the future we will develop a streaming channel, but we are far from that, at this time. For the time being we will leave the episodes on the site, but we are no longer going to do episodes or a seasonal series of this branded venture. We have what we feel is a stronger vision for it, at this time. Until we can do with this series. What we truly want to do.

Expect a revisit and more of these in 2025. Made more dynamic and presentable. What is Southwest Journeys Relaxpse? This series was developed by Zero Dark Art Studio. To serve as relaxation videos to watch and calm down, meditate, or relax too. As we speak, there are only a few we released on the site. We will most definitely be adding more, in 2025.

This series, is slated to become a series of standard books, that are apart of the Zero Dark Alpha Series. These books are apart of the Zero Dark Alpha universe, but cover a time in the ancient past. A time, that involves fictional characters, but covers aspects of ancient alien races and the wars & conflicts they faced. For this series we will be posting a 30 - 45 minute trailer type video about the series. Where Col. John Rain speaks with an member of the Arctarian race known, as Voros. This trailer, will only be available on our site here and nowhere else. We will inform you when it is released.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
What else is coming in 2025? We will be working on adding and furthering our services section of this site (that got a little out of hand and we have to make it more suitable). We will also be focusing on growth and promotion. We will also complete or release features that belong to our other Zero Dark Alpha off shoot story lines. Our store will be adding more products. More Zero Dark Alpha - Web-isodes will be created. We completed allot, in 2024. We are intending to complete close to double, in 2025.

HONEYISM'S - MEME SERIES: This meme series has aired only on the @DaneDebro official Facebook page, since mid 2024. It is currently, at Honeyism's number 19. This meme series gets posted bi-weekly. The series, will go to 30 then end.
Once it ends on Facebook. The memes will be gathered and edited into a special Zero Dark Alpha Issue, that will be titled:
ZERO DARK ALPHA - ORIGIN STORY: HONEY
Honey, as you should know by now? Is one of the Zero Dark Alpha stories and universe's good characters. This character is a left over of the Zero Dark Alpha - McNab Island series. Honey was one of the former humans mutated into a Honey Badger during the time of McNAb Island within the Zero Dark Alpha story lines.
Certain characters in the Zero Dark Alpha Universe will fall under this category and be featured with origin issues.

Zero Dark Alpha Character Bios. If you haven't? Ensure, that you get to know the characters in our Zero Dark Alpha line. The character bios are designed to give more insight and further story about the Zero Dark Alpha universe. Just like our Zero Dark Alpha - Web-isodes. In 2025 though? Our character bios will be fashioned into specialized issues sort of like compendium's. They will be fashioned into their first versions and over time be refashioned. Until they are into one large release.
When they are fashioned in this form, as we are planning here. Their visibility on the site will be minimal or gone entirely. So start learning about them now. Or we may leave them. We haven't decided. The releases we are planning here. Will also feature characters we haven't shown to the world yet… Stay tuned.
