Limit Break Comics

An Irish Comic Collective

Home

Limit Break Comics is an Irish comic collective, founded on the back of a shared desire to see small press comics grow in Ireland. Since 2018, the collective has grown to 9 members, and has published multiple anthologies featuring creators from around the globe.
