Wayward Raven Media was formed when Aegis Creative Enterprises grew beyond its original mission of providing creative content to the comic book and film industries. The company was launched in October 2012 at the New York Comic Con when founders Mark Frankel and Alexander Sapountzis decided to expand their company into prose, children’s books and webcomics.

Wayward Raven is helmed by Mark C. Frankel CEO/COO, Alexander Sapountzis Chief Technologist/User Experience and Joshua Lee Andrew Jones Chief Creative Officer. They are located in the NY-Metro Area. A brief interview by Marlene of I Like Comics Too with Mark and Alex on the streets of New York on Free Comic Book provides some insight into the company's business model.

The Ascendant
After epochs of debauchery, a Duke of Hell named Cail escapes the underworld and masquerades as a human so he can send other denizens of the pit back where they belong before they can cause an imbalance in the cosmos but he has grown a conscience, the very worst thing a demon can do, and is hunted himself.

Horsemen
The price of freedom is eternal vigilance but it helps to have extra-terrestrials on your side.The Horsemen are a group of guardians saddled upon cybernetic steeds that gallop across the stars and protect the multi-verse from a totalitarian force that wishes to extinguish freewill throughout all space and time. Evil has plots within plots but the Horsemen will ride even when internal struggles arise. Issue #2 is in the works.

Damn Heroes
Damn Heroes is a journey of a gentle man making his way in the big city, giving back to the friendly and vivid characters of that utopia with love and respect. Hero City is paradise on earth, a garden of eden nurtured and protected by some of the most respected superbeings on the planet… …at least that’s what they printed on the tour guide before the publisher was attacked by a giant squid from an alternate dimension.

The Cell
Seventeen year old Les Logan is an aspiring comic book artist who begins to doubt himself after Aki Kubo, his friend and creative partner, dies in an accident in which Les is involved. From beyond the grave, Aki contacts Les through a cell phone and tells him there’s a problem. Aki can’t cross over because a girl named Rachel is wasting her second chance at life after receiving his donated liver. Les must help her so Aki can move on to the afterlife.

There are a couple big problems: one, if Rachel doesn’t move on with her life soon Aki’s spirit will disintegrate. Two, a devious scientist named Professor Gluck finds out about Aki and wants to capture the ghost in the cell phone so to prove his theories about the paranormal. Les enlists the aid of his two off-beat friends and sets out to discover a way to save Rachel but encounters with Professor Gluck stand in the way.

Ominous Odes
Ominous Odes is a collection of published short stories as well as never before seen new releases. The stories tell tales of the dark and eerie that always lurks just outside of human perception, fleeting upon the cusp of vision. A dark lottery ticket, a future serial killer, a tragic female legend and a detective on the trail of a killer all reside within.
