Frequently Asked Questions

Terminus Veil is an indie espionage comic published by Clash Studios. It follows The Guardians — a covert team of specialists who operate outside official channels, taking on threats governments can't or won't touch. Think Ghost in the Shell meets Captain America, with Cowboy Bebop setting the soundtrack. Six issues and a one-shot (Badia's Gambit) are available now.

Start with Issue 1 — it's free. Grab it at clashstudios.art/pages/free-issue. No credit card required. If you want to dive into the full arc, the Volume 1 Digital Bundle (Issues 1–4) is the best entry point.

Recommended reading order: Issues 1–4 (Volume 1) → Issue 5 → Issue 6 → Badia's Gambit. Badia's Gambit is a standalone one-shot set two years before Issue 1 — it can technically be read anytime, but it hits harder once you know the character.

Badia's Gambit is a standalone one-shot drawn by Frank Alpizar — the main Terminus Veil artist and a cover artist currently working on Marvel's Captain America series. It follows Badia Jassim, the fan-favorite character from Terminus Veil, on a mission set two years before Issue 1. No prior reading required — it works as a complete story on its own.

Terminus Veil, Gang Land Demon Time, and Phantom Rites all exist in the same universe, but each series stands on its own. You don't need to read one to enjoy another.

Gang Land Demon Time is Clash Studios' next comic series — a dark fantasy gangster horror story currently in development. Three concept artists are building the world right now. It's launching on Kickstarter in October 2026. Follow us on Instagram (@terminusveil) or join the email list to be the first to hear about it.
