How It All Began
BORN FROM PASSION.
Conquest Publishing LLC didn’t start in a boardroom — it started with a belief. A belief that the comics, animation, gaming, and music industries needed a space where emerging creators weren’t just welcomed, but genuinely supported.
Founded in Hayes, Virginia, Conquest Universe was built to be the platform that its founders wished had existed when they were starting out. No gatekeeping. No surrendering your ideas. Just real mentorship, real resources, and a real community that shows up for you.
From day one, our goal has been simple: give every aspiring creator — regardless of background or experience — the tools they need to build something extraordinary and own every piece of it.
What We Stand For
OUR MISSION IS YOUR VISION.
Conquest Universe is a vibrant hub for aspiring writers and artists, committed to fostering creativity and professional growth. With a team of seasoned professionals, we offer mentorship, free classes, and hands-on resources to help bring your creative visions to life.
Creator Ownership
Your ideas belong to you — period. We are committed to ensuring every creator who works with or through Conquest retains full ownership of their intellectual property. Always.
Mentorship First
Our team of seasoned professionals is here to guide you every step of the way. Whether you're sketching your first panel or pitching your tenth series, we walk alongside you.
