In 1972, the Red Bozos were the friendliest faces in frenetic Midlands Amusement Park. Flash forward four and a half decades: Midlands is a ghost park. Closed long ago and nearly forgotten, even by the locals, it sits shrouded in undergrowth and hill-topping forest surrounded by upscale new homes.

In this wildly imaginative and bullet-fast tale of advanced warrior legions eager to escape their banishment in a parallel dimension, an unlikely band of heroic women, bold and reckless enough to stand in their way, are humanity’s only hope against an impending incursion by a highly advanced army of invisible, disc-riding warriors.

"Chthonos" details the harrowing journey of a devoted "astrohydrology" expert as she seeks to uncover what's behind the mantle-penetrating water wells of Ceres experiencing repeating series of flow interruptions that almost seemed to be some kind of coded communication.

It's the late 1970s and city league softball - and partying - reign supreme. Talented Jo Jo Van Dyne and company struggle to right themselves from a winless first season, in part by renaming themselves the Streakers because their first year team name, the Hard Machine, hadn't exactly brought them any kind of luck. This time around, though, the early twenties team has high hopes. This is a year where, they all truly believe, anything can happen. And who knows...maybe it will.
