ATP's latest venture is now available through Desperado.

Welcome to Monsterpocalypse. The age of giant monsters and robots is upon us. Dinosaur-like creatures roam the Southern hemisphere. Monstrous creatures from space terrorize major cities with no purpose but absolute destruction, and now mankind is fighting back with gigantic robots. The robots of Globally United Advanced Research and Defense (G.U.A.R.D.) are manned by a four to five member crew. The initial story follows the crew of Sky Sentinel after they've had a less than spectacular first attempt at stopping one of these giant monsters (This is told in the issue 0 give away at San Diego Comic Con and Gen Con). The crew is adjusting to their bruised egos and a new commander.
