Superhero Books – Axiom-man: Battle of Power Trilogy Copies Have Arrived

Posted on January 14, 2026 6:40 pm by A.P. Fuchs Comment
Superhero Books – Axiom-man: Battle of Power Trilogy Copies Have Arrived

The postman came and dropped off copies of THE BATTLE OF POWER TRILOGY from THE AXIOM-MAN SAGA here at the Central the other day.

This is the first superhero fiction series to have a multi-part cover as part of Coscom Entertainment’s effort to break new ground in superhero books with Axiom-man! So cool! Not only did we do the first hardcover lettered edition of a superhero novel ever, now we’re linking covers!

For those who pre-ordered their copies direct at Winnipeg Comic Con, I will contact you shortly for arrangements for drop-off. For everyone else, if you’d like to order your copies direct from the studio, please shoot me an email. Direct orders will get a discount on the trilogy plus I’m known for throwing in a freebie of some kind as a thank you for ordering direct.

If you’d like to grab your copy from your online retailer of choice in paperback or eBook instead, please go here for AXIOM-MAN: THE SUMMONING, which is the first book in this final arc that wraps up the first act of the superhero series, THE AXIOM-MAN SAGA.

Thanks.

New Dawn: A Superhero Novel [The Axiom-man Saga Book 6]

Posted on December 13, 2025 7:37 am by A.P. Fuchs

New Dawn: A Superhero Novel [The Axiom-man Saga Book 6]

It has been two years since Redsaw reopened the Doorway of Darkness. Now, he reigns over the city, his throne set high, his sway almighty and powerful.

Everyone, even those with their own dark empire, are under his control. But he needs more. It is time to bring his master into the realm of Planet Earth and dominate the land.

All he needs is a power boost from mass death and chaos to achieve his dream.

While the threat of permanent darkness looms above the city, two figures emerge from the shadows, helping the remaining survivors and saving lives, disrupting Redsaw’s planned chaos.

And one of them dares to approach his throne and challenge his position.

No mere mortal would stand a chance against Redsaw’s power . . . except maybe one.

Bigfoot and Sci-fi Dystopia On Top for the Last 30 Days

Posted on December 6, 2025 10:38 am by A.P. Fuchs

Bigfoot and Sci-fi Dystopia On Top for the Last 30 Days

As of this morning, these three titles are topping the charts here at Coscom Entertainment. (Note these top spots are about a week old as things update roughly every seven days. AXIOM-MAN: THE SUMMONING has exceeded what’s being shown now.)

Bigfoot has always been hot and he’s a draw when I table at Winnipeg Comiccon. This anthology series co-edited with Eric S. Brown (whose a big name in bigfoot horror) was a lot of fun. Perhap it might come back at some future point as I do have cover art for two more volumes. We’ll see.

As for Melinda Marshall’s THE TYPHON PROJECT, that was last year. Coming from here before the year is out are all three books in her ONE BRIGHT FUTURE Trilogy, which was originally published elsewhere for the first two books before that publisher went out of business. We’re bringing things back along with the long-awaited final installment in her trilogy.

Stay tuned for those releases.

Thank you to everyone who supported these small press authors over that past thirty days. As you can see, Bigfoot and sci-fi dystopia were the hot ones over the past 30 days with some superhero stuff yet to post it’s placement amongst these top three.

Hope you enjoyed the stories.

Axiom-man: Transformations is Off to Press

Posted on November 17, 2025 6:13 pm by A.P. Fuchs

Axiom-man: Transformations is Off to Press

Yesterday, Sunday morning, I sent the second book in the BATTLE OF POWER Trilogy, AXIOM-MAN: TRANSFORMATIONS, off to the printer. I also uploaded the various eBook versions needed for my eBook distributors (this was talked about in this past weekend’s newsletter).

Already some of the eBook listings have started to pop up online. Once the paperback lists too, then I’ll do an official launch of the book and its delegated page here on the website.

As for the final installment, AXIOM-MAN: NEW DAWN, as of this blog entry I just got it back from the editor so the next task is to go through the edits before beginning the production procedure, which involves a final read-through. The cover art is also done. It just needs the design and layout.

What’s great about a superhero series like this is once your design is settled upon–like in the first book, AXIOM-MAN–you just carry it over to the next then the next, etc. No need to think of new fonts or anything like that except for the title of the adventure, which is quite easy.

Really excited for you guys to read TRANSFORMATIONS. Straight off, I’ll tell you the title is the plot. Ahhh, off to press.

Get ready.

Soon.

The Summoning (The Axiom-man Saga, Book 5)

Posted on October 24, 2025 6:15 am by A.P. Fuchs

The Summoning (The Axiom-man Saga, Book 5)

No more.

Redsaw has been terrorizing Winnipeg for too long. Worse, Axiom-man has been unable to stop him and Redsaw has used that opportunity to create his own brand of chaos.

Riots fill the streets. Fires break out every day. Looters run rampant and murderers go unpunished.

No one is safe with Redsaw orchestrating it all from the shadows. Hiding. Untraceable. This battle for power can’t go on. As chaos rips the city apart, the cops are overwhelmed and Axiom-man cannot locate his enemy.

Now, not only does Axiom-man have to settle the battle with Redsaw, he also needs to settle the battle within himself. The mask and cape have taken their toll and the cost is rising, especially since Gabriel being Axiom-man is driving a wedge between him and Valerie Vaughan.

The mission is simple: find Redsaw and put an end to his reign of red-powered darkness forever.

There will be a fight, and Axiom-man has to be ready.

Begin transmission . . .

Running from March 2024 to January 2025, The Canister X Transmission was sent via email to readers worldwide.

Year Seven broke a streak of two long newsletter years and was instead delivered to readers weekly without missing an issue.

Topics include: work updates, access to digital content, writing and publishing discussion, an open letter about the rise of AI, thoughts on life, points of amusement, and general fun.

Exclusive to this collection is a special newsletter, Issue Three Hundred Thirteen A, unavailable anywhere else.

Welcome to The Canister X Transmission: Year Seven.

Dystopian YA and Horror Bestsellers in June!

Posted on July 6, 2025 1:33 pm by A.P. Fuchs
Dystopian YA and Horror Bestsellers in June!

June did pretty good in terms of book sales. Had some that outshone the others so am mentioning them here.

What was especially pleasing was seeing ZOMBIE FIGHT NIGHT: BATTLES OF THE DEAD on there. It’s an older book but seems to fly under the radar most of the time despite it being an effort to put everything awesome into one tale.

Also on a personal level was seeing folks picking up GIGANTI-GATOR DEATH MACHINE: TRIPLE FEATURE. Swamp horror is always fun and these three all-in-one novellas were a B-movie love letter to the horrors of the swamp. Reviews have been solid on this one so maybe someday this type of gigantic monster thriller will be revisited.

Melinda Marshall scored well with THE TYPHON PROJECT. If you’re into dystopian YA (young adult) fiction, it’ll be right up your alley, especially with all the genetic fooling around.

And then, of course, we had bigfoot because, well, who doesn’t love bigfoot? Nice to see my anthology effort with Eric S. Brown still has some legs.

Thank you to everyone who supported Coscom Entertainment last month. We’re a very small publishing house but have been around bringing books to the public since 2004 in various incarnations . . . and we’re still standing.

Thank you again for these dystopian YA and horror bestsellers this past June.

If you’re interested in the above titles or books in a similar vein, the Book and Comic Shop here on this site is your best bet for selection as all is shown there all in one place.

(June’s book titles listed above take you straight to Amazon for paperback or Kindle editions.)

Cheers.

Booktube: Axiom-man/Crimson Cloak: Scarlet Synergy Book Spotlight

Surrounded by a strange red mist, Axiom-man finds himself in a world not his own.

Not again.

There is something different about this world, something familiar. Something that feels like . . . home. But this place of red mist and darkness belongs to another crusader, this one in a dark red trench coat, a blood-red cloak, and a fedora casting shadows on a face with goggles and a strange mask.

With no clue where this red mist brought him, Axiom-man and this crimson stranger are swept into a bizarre hotel where each floor brings a deadly new mission, and to make matters worse, Axiom-man doesn’t have his powers.

Trial upon trial ensues as Axiom-man and a man who calls himself the Crimson Cloak try to survive deadly traps in a building from hell.

One blue. One red.

One common enemy.

The battle to survive begins.

Booktube: Caught in Black Headlights: Poetry Collection Book Spotlight

Booktube: Caught in Black Headlights: Poetry Collection Book Spotlight

About CAUGHT IN BLACK HEADLIGHTS:

“A.P. Fuchs’ s Caught in Black Headlights highlights life things, all sorts of things, with a wondrous and unrelenting discernment and a brilliant sense of lyricism.” – John Urbancik, author of Annabel Lee, in Shadow

All right, World,
This is how it’s going to be:
Rhymes and verse
Melodies rehearsed
Across life’s rocky sea.

Listen up, Folks,
This is how we’re going to play:
Thoughts and comments,
Displays of indominance,
Making the rounds all day.

Read a poem, maybe two,
Pick three if you wish to dare.
Ramblings and coherence,
Sometimes jots of incoherence
Anything for poetic flare.

So get some eyes on some words
And give the brain a try.
You win some.
You lose most.
But in the end, Solomon said,
It’s vapor in the sky.

Enjoy and explore,
Please do, I implore.
Let’s talk about life bizarre
‘Cause it’s pretty complex stuff
Said Harvey Pekar.

CAUGHT IN BLACK HEADLIGHTS is available as a paperback and eBook at:

Amazon (US)
