Michael Watkins is the founder and owner of Highburn Studios. He is mostly known for his work on Sonic The Hedgehog, Femme Noir, and his creator owned project Guardians. Mike can usually be found at a drawing board, a wacom tablet, or in a gym....usually because the rest of the group has chained him to one of the three to keep him at work, except for the gym, they let him just enjoy that so he will shut up.

Outside of comics, Mike is an avid Martial Artist, studying Hak Dari Shon Hap Ki Do. He also enjoys playing guitar, and on the side he's currently designing fabric patterns for various clients through Solid Stone Fabrics.

His credits include: Sonic The Hedgehog, Femme Noir, Outlaw Territory, Indiana Jones ,The Dark Knight, Guardians, Wizard Magazine, E-Man , Iron Sirens, Hero Complex, Black Ice , Scratch, Tribulations, Nova City Stories, Ruthless, Expulse, Slayer, B.O.T.S., Dressed To Kill, and Legend of the Guitar Hero.


Lyle Pollard is a talented penciller who has been drawing for longer than he is willing to admit, and would have probably had a much wealthier existence if he had played basketball or baseball or something. Fortunately for the comics community, he sucked at all sports, and he is now working on his creation TRIBULATIONS.

Lyle lives in Coats, NC (end of the world, and take a left) with his beautiful and supporting wife, Dana, their daughter Gwen, and Race Dog, who is cute, but can be a pain in the ass. Lyle is also proud of his futon on which the late, great Mike Watkins once slept.
Wait a minute, Mike's not dead....yet.

His credits include: Tribulations, Nova City Stories, Guardians, Femme Noir, E-Man, Black Ice, B.O.T.S., Slayer, Expulse, Ruthless, Cookies, Dressed To Kill, and Legend of the Guitar Hero.

Kenny Keen is the creator of SLAYER, EXPULSE, RUTHLESS and 100's of other unfinished ideas. He has contributed short stories, pin-ups, and covers to numerous small press publications over the years. Kenny is also the creator and owner of Midnight Horizon Comics, a partner company along side Highburn. He is also the letterer for
TRIBULATIONS, DRESSED TO KILL, and GUARDIANS all from Highburn Studios.
When Kenny is not working on a project he can be found studying the Korean Martial Art Hap Ki Do. If a lazy streak hits him you will find him playing the PlayStation, watching movies, or fighting with his kids over the last doughnut.

His credits include: Slayer, Expulse, Ruthless, Dressed To Kill, Guardians, Tribulations, Fortune's Curse, Legend of the Guitar Hero, as well as various small press publications.

Ryan Eldridge is a writer based in Atlanta Georgia. After a lifetime of love for comic books and the superhero genre, Ryan finally decided to pick up the pen and start writing his own comics. Then he got a cramp. So, he put the pen down and switched writing on his computer instead. The increase in efficiency has led him to consider this what he calls his "best idea ever".
