Wolf’s Head Volume 8 in trade paperback format Worldwide (first-time ever)!
This a milestone! Due to more challenges than I can shake a stick at,1 the long-awaited Volume 8 of WOLF’S HEAD is now finally available! This volume features one of the most emotional twists I’ve done in the series so far, but one I think makes perfect sense.
As I previously noted, the first seven WOLF’S HEAD trade paperbacks are back in print in new editions, but with today’s release of Volume 8 (collecting issues 15 and 16 of the ongoing digital series) we are on brand new ground! As always, this is a full colour edition and is 60 pages in length. Haunted by loss, Lauren Greene and her loyal dog Sankō embark on a perilous road trip from Alaska to Detroit, outwitting ruthless corporate agents to protect a sentient AI child. Hunted at every turn, Lauren risks everything to keep the extraordinary life-form from becoming a weapon—and to safeguard the future of a new kind of intelligence.

The Elevator Pitch
Lauren Greene’s world is turned upside down when her mother rescues a newborn artificial intelligence from the powerful and secretive Advanced Research Projects Corporation (ARPC) — a shadowy organization determined to weaponize the sentient life-form. After her mother’s sudden death, Lauren is left alone, struggling to survive and protect the extraordinary AI now in her care.
Desperate to escape ARPC’s relentless pursuit, Lauren flees her home of Detroit and disappears into the wilds of Alaska with her loyal dog, Sankō, and the young and vulnerable AI. She soon realizes, however, that running away won’t solve her problems. Determined to take control of her fate, Lauren sets out on a perilous road trip back to Detroit, hoping to find a way to secure the AI’s safety once and for all.
On the long journey home, Lauren and her companions are relentlessly hunted by ARPC agents, forcing her to risk everything to keep the AI from becoming a weapon. Outmatched and outnumbered, Lauren must summon all her courage, outwit her pursuers, and teach her unlikely companion what it means to fight for survival. If she fails, she risks losing not just her own life, but the future of a new kind of intelligence.
The WOLF'S HEAD Trade Paperback Series
Below is a listing of all the volumes of the series so far! If you click on the cover, it will bring you to a dedicated page for that volume on the WOLF’S HEAD subdomain. Again, most online retailers regularly stock and carry WOLF'S HEAD. However, occassionaly there are hiccups with this from time to time (typically because the retailer has had a little rush on sales!). So, if you were shopping on Amazon (for example) and discovered that a particular volume is out of stock, there are many alternatives. These include Barnes & Noble, Bookshop.org, Indigo, McNally Robinson, The American Book Center, Waterstones, and so on.

1 But what the hell! Let’s enumerate! Here goes: The pandemic (well, duh), Diamond Comic Distributors and their intransigence, Amazon’s decision to end ComiXology as a separate platform, rolling it into Kindle platform instead, the death of a dear beloved friend, health scares from other loved ones (and family drama), the utter collapse of Diamond and the resulting upheavels in the so-called Direct Market, Ingram Content Group’s apparent difficulties with “EDI” or Electronic Data Interchange and various retailers, not to mention the normal day-to-day challenges of life. Whew!

The Elevator Pitch
Lauren Greene’s world shatters when her mother dies saving a mysterious newborn AI from a secretive corporation intent on turning it into a weapon. Alone and on the run, Lauren escapes to the wilds of Alaska, struggling to protect the powerful life-form — and herself — while barely scraping by. But when a group of locals vanishes inside an abandoned government complex, Lauren is thrust into a high-stakes search that threatens to expose her secret. With the police unwilling to help and danger lurking in the shadows, Lauren faces a terrifying choice: risk everything by asking for help, or brave the haunted corridors alone, knowing that discovery could mean losing the AI forever. As injuries mount and time slips away, Lauren must confront her deepest fears and learn to trust others before it’s too late. Will she find the missing before the secret she’s guarding is revealed or will the darkness inside the complex claim them all?

The Elevator Pitch
Lauren Greene, a former Detroit police officer, has started over in remote Alaska with her dog, Sankō, and a young Artificial Intelligence that a ruthless corporation wants back at any cost. To get by, she’s working doing deliveries for a local food bank, scraping together a living while trying her best to stay out of sight and protect the AI. But, when a homeless man she’s never met vanishes near a long-abandoned Cold War missile complex, Lauren can’t just ignore it. Her search takes her underground, where she discovers not only Alaska’s buried secrets but also something terrifying that shouldn’t exist at all. Now, while being hunted from the outside and facing dangers she can’t explain from the inside, Lauren has to decide: does she open herself up to new friendships and risk everything, or stay alone and lose potential friendships she desperately needs?
