They got canceled when the company failed to find a new publisher for them in 2006, resulting in the bankruptcy and liquidation of Headfirst.PlotOn September 6, 1915, Detective Jack Walters is summoned to a decrepit manor house in Boston, Massachusetts. The manor is inhabited by a small bizarre cult called the Fellowship of the Yith, led by one Victor Holt.
