365 Infantry is multi-narrative digital magazine like no other. It concerns the many friends, foes, and dangers of the 365th Infantry, a fighting force for freedom waging war on A.C.E.S., a computer network gone mad with power in the last city on Earth. The series stars a cast of hellraising wolves and their magnificent machines as they take on all manner of dastardly villains and bizarre creations in a future of post-atomic anarchy and technological tyranny.
Born from classic sci-fi, film noir, westerns, and more, 365 Infantry tells of paradises lost, psychological torture schemes, gruesome frontier justice, and at the heart of it all, a war with a computerized goddess, all realized through vivid prose and striking illustrations.
The series is broken up into five “branches,” covering two serials, two episodic stories, and one anthology, with a wide cast of fun and unique characters exploring this strange anthro future through pulp thrills and thought-provoking concepts and storylines. Learn all the basics here:
Our Main Series Introduction
Our Magazine Format “The Stories to Be Told”
Our Metallic Manifesto “Entering the Iron Age”
365 INFANTRY IS FREE TO READ, provided you have this crazy little thing called “the Internet” that’s all the rage these days.
The five branches of the main magazine are always free, and it is our goal to supplement the magazine’s creation through sales of merchandise, as well as our paid subscription service which rewards readers with additional stories, comics, audio adventures, and more!
365 Infantry is a seasonally-released QUARTERLY. This affords ample time for the creation of high-quality illustrations, plus the necessary editing and polish of any magazine. The stories are released to Substack over the course of one week, alongside flagship audiobook drama Alan Firedale: Desert Delinquent
A quarterly magazine format, founded in 2024, is available in a both print and eBook form, featuring exclusive introductions and bonus content.
Current flash fiction series Red Light Bytes releases weekly, with one free story per month, and 3-4 paid exclusives per month. All other web-based exclusives (short fiction, serials, comics, etc.) are released on a monthly basis.
365 Infantry is committed to keeping its main webzine FREE FOR ALL, but we can’t do it alone and need your help! Here are some of the ways you can help keep our lights on and support the Force!
MERCHANDISE: Our preferred method. Why? Because you get something in return for showing your love for this series. We’ve got a growing array of print and digital book releases, special musical asides in the spirit of our heavy metal and 80s electronica inspirations, plus quality shirts, posters, mugs and more you can rock in the real world.

MERCH STORES
PAID SUBSCRIPTIONS: The most direct way you can keep the magazine afloat. For as little as $5/Month or $50/Year, gain access to exclusive stories, comics, audio series like Alan Firedale, and more. Those who wish to go over-the-top can hit up our “General of the Armies” plan, granting them access to free eBooks and other digital goodies as they’re released.
DONATIONS: The simplest way you can help us. My core tenant throughout all of this has remained the same: if every reader gave us just 25-cents, those quarters alone would be enough to justify this series’ existence. We’ve had great success with Ko-fi as a way to raise funds for baseline production costs. Tips start at $1 USD and we set goals for tippers to help us meet.
At any rate, if you feel at all compelled to support our work here at 365, we all thank you from the bottom of our hearts. May God Bless You and This Force. See you on the Front Lines, Soldier!
