Hey all!! You're amazing!!! We're almost there. :) Thank you so much!! Don't forget! we opened up some addon tiers for remarks in your books; jump in and grab those while there are still a few left!! You can get your very own ner-Dee reference sketch, like this one!
We would also like to prop up a few of our amazing fellow creators:
RICHARD FAIRGRAY is an absolutely amazing legally blind queer comic artist who is making comics until it kills him. His book is OCTOPUS: A Memoir of Flailing! BACK IT HERE RIGHT NOW!!
"Octopus is a 144 page graphic memoir about me, Richard Fairgray - the writer/artist of Blastosaurus, Black Sand Beach, Haunted Hill, SHED, Four Color Heroes and literally hundreds of other books. I'm a blind comic artist with a chemical imbalance in my brain that allows me to process images at an incredible speed, remember too much and almost never sleep. This book is 7 connected stories that capture key turning points in my life across 18 months as I try to kill myself, get divorced, break up with my boyfriend, steal a boat, move to Hollywood, live with a surfing philanthropist, meet a nice man and have a lot of wine and regrettable sex."
And second, THE SHAOLIN NUN #1-4 by JC Carter! BACK IT HERE NOW!! Enter the Dragon meets Thelma and Louise.

This is a female-lead comic book.
Because we already have dozens, if not hundreds, of male-lead Shaolin Monk stories. It's time for a woman to take the lead. -
The main cast are all people of color.
Which is a better example of the Los Angeles demographic, and, frankly, reality. -
This is a martial arts story.
Told by a 30-year Kung Fu practitioner, with a focus on the philosophy behind martial arts. Because it's just as important to know when to punch as how to punch. -
This is not a "capes and tights" comic book.
Aside from some pretty crazy martial arts stunts, the book tries to stay fairly grounded in reality. Well, Los Angeles reality, which is understandably subjective.
