A Boy Like Me – 10th Anniversary Edition
by Jennie Wood
This special 10th anniversary reprint with a new forward by the author Jennie Wood! A Boy Like Me was a Next Generation Indie Book awards finalist, an INDIEFAB Book of the Year finalist, and one of Foreword Reviews’ 10 Best Indie YA novels for 2014. In the ten years since the original publication, the world has changed dramatically for trans individuals, and Jennie has addressed this evolution with a new forward. It’s the perfect time to bring back this coming-of-age novel and introduce it to a whole new generation.
Plus, Jennie has agreed to donate 100% of their profits to UNITE AGAINST BOOK BANS – because banned books are the ones we should read MOST! Trans rights are under attack, and books, films, and other art that tells trans stories are our best weapons against hate, giving people a window into experiences outside their own. Additionally, there are increasing efforts to ban books across the country, so raising money for Unite Against Book Bans is more important than ever.
For fans of: Jennie Wood, YA novels, LGBTQ, trans rights, anti-censorship.

Sh*tkickers
by Joey Esposito, Andrea Schiavone, Sabrina Filieri, and Lucas Gattoni
When the cocky and entitled Dylan Jax joins the Cosmic Protection Bureau and is assigned to bullshit busywork alongside a grumpy alien vet, he’s forced to confront the reality that his great destiny was just a lie his mommy fed him, and that the organization he’s committed his life to isn’t as benevolent as it claims to be.
SHITKICKERS is a series that lives somewhere between the humor of the Jump Street films and the high-stakes action of Guardians of the Galaxy—with a little Starship Troopers for garnish.
But underneath the dick jokes and bad attitudes, this is a story about fighting against a system designed to oppress, even if it takes you a while to realize the side you should be fighting for isn’t the side you’re on. It’s about finding your place in the universe with a little help from your friends and the importance of chosen family. It’s about telling your past to fuck off so you can carve out your own future.
The COSMIC PROTECTION BUREAU (CPB) is an intergalactic police force that uses a Silver Age-style comic book called SPACE COPS as propaganda to draft recruits into service, human and alien alike. But the truth of the CPB is far removed from the romanticized version found in these recruitment comics—the CPB is dirty and corrupt, a problematic organization that prioritizes protecting its own over their sworn duty to serve and protect.
Our story centers around two of these space cops: DYLAN JAX, a hot-headed, brash go-getter eager for action, and SKIZZ, a veteran alien in a career backslide who’s comfortable toiling away in the Bowels of THE PRECINCT, the homeplanet of the CPB. She’s a self-described SHITKICKER, aka the Being doing the most menial tasks possible. When the cocky Dylan is assigned to do bullshit busywork with Skizz, he’s forced to confront the reality that his great destiny was just a lie his mommy fed him, and the organization he’s committed his life to isn’t as benevolent as it claims to be. Bored out of his gourd and trigger happy, Dylan kidnaps Skizz to go on a mission to crack open one of his new partner’s cold cases that sends them spiraling down a wormhole of intergalactic conspiracies, dirty cops, and big-time daddy issues.
SHITKICKERS is a series that lives somewhere between the humor of the Jump Street films and the high-stakes action of Guardians of the Galaxy—with a little Starship Troopers for garnish, and it sounds like this. If you like comics such as Fear Agent, Wasted Space, or Scud the Disposable Assassin, we think you’ll dig this too. But underneath the dick jokes and bad attitudes, this is a story about fighting against a system designed to oppress, even if it takes you a while to realize the side you should be fighting for isn’t the side you’re on. It’s about finding your place in the universe with a little help from your friends and the importance of chosen family. It’s about telling your past to screw off so you can carve out your own future. You can also preview the comic here at GlobalComix’

Zombie Date Night 2: A Zombie Romance Comedy Sequel
A Second Date You Won’t Forget
Roses are red…
Blood is too.
And the undead are even hungrier
In Zombie Date Night 2!
From the clearly rotted mind of Steve Urena (Slow Pokes 1&2, Zombie Date Night, X-Maschina, Foul Mouth) comes the sequel to the critically acclaimed zombie romance comedy, Zombie Date Night!
Still recovering from the awkwardness of their first Zombie Date Night, main characters Jack and Ginger have reached the scariest place to be…the friend zone.
When their survival group realizes they’re running out of food, the enthusiastic and outgoing Ginger leads the charge with a very reluctant Jack to find sustenance before the zombaes (zombies who can only survive with a mate) eat them first. Will the second date be better than the first or will this situationship be food for the undead?
Returning for the sequel is the original team behind the first Zombie Date Night. Incredible art drawn by Sergi Domènech. Amazing Colors by Josh Jensen. Eye-catching lettering by Anthony Rella and editing by the wonderfully talented Allegra Calderaro. This 24-page, hilarious action-packed comic has got everything: laughs, zombies, romance and, of course, over-the-top violence!
Glarien and Thane Vol 1
Love hurts. And sometimes…it kills. An adult fantasy graphic novella of how White Ash’s very first couple got together

Written by Layne Morgan based on a story by Morgan and Stickney, with art by Giulia Lalli and colors by Vittorio Astone, Glarien and Thane is a high-fantasy, action romance in the vein of Mr. and Mrs. Smith… if it took place in the world of Vox Machina.

So I’m making a joy-filled collection of dog comics called ANATOMY OF DOGS! It’s a classy hardcover filled with your favorite breeds — each with 100% made-up facts! ANATOMY OF DOGS is a hilarious take on High School biology charts…but instead of pointing out where the “thorax” is, we’re going to learn truly important things like:
- Which dog can eat your house’s monthly food budget?
- Which dog is most likely to jump off the roof, cowabunga-style, into a pool?
- Which dog’s bones are actually made of meringue dust?
It All Ends in Dirt, Volume One: A Sapphic Horror Comic
A mortician is haunted by love, death and necromancy in this 50+ page sapphic horror comic.
It All Ends in Dirt is currently being created by our little team of two from our own personal budget, which can only take us so far. Creating this story takes a lot of time, and although coffee and a deep love for drawing sapphics can fuel us for some time, it sadly can’t keep us going forever. Getting the comic funded through Kickstarter will not only help us get volume one printed; it’ll also help us make future volumes! The story is written in its entirety, and the artwork for volume two is well underway. We hope to have five volumes in total, and we’d love to keep momentum going to get them all finished at regular intervals.
Chapter Three of Dirt is ongoing over on Webtoons and Tapas if you’d like to read ahead; it’s also free on Patreon! We love to post behind-the-scenes content over there, and we also have a little podcast that goes in depth into the making of each chapter, so feel free to check those out if you’d like to learn more about the comic’s origins and creation.
The art for It All Ends in Dirt is created digitally with Procreate, and we use the Adobe suite to edit, composite, and chop it up for both its print and webcomic formats. This campaign will help us cover the cost for some of our software, but mainly it’s going towards getting the comic printed so you can hold it in your lovely hands! (Our artist Briar likes drawing hands; this will become apparent when you see the artwork.)
Our passion for this project is truly endless and we would love nothing more than to see it finished. Your support in making it happen is so greatly appreciated, whether that be through backing this campaign or supporting us over on Patreon, Webtoons or Tapas. We cannot thank you enough! We’re so excited to see Dirt come to life (pun intended, sorry), and we hope to keep making projects with these characters long into the future.
The Chum Brothers: Know Your Gnomes
Jessica Warrick’s hilarious adventures of Gil and Fin: fish-human psychic twins who unravel a seedy gnome slavery trafficking ring!
The Chum Brothers follows the hilarious adventures of Gil and Fin Chum: fish-human, hybrid, psychic twins who stumble into their own private eye business in Loreland, a modern town inhabited by mythical creatures, humans, and everything in between.
The goal of the Kickstarter is to get the comic formatted for print and into your hands as quickly as possible! The more we raise the more stretch goals are unlocked with additional ones to be be revealed as the campaign progresses. We think everyone will be pleasantly surprised by each!
So, what am I getting for my pledge? All backers at the $24 tier will receive the softcover graphic novel, printed at 6″x9″ and featuring approximately 120 pages of content!
In the interest of transparency, it should be noted that we have been given permission from Kickstarter to run a higher frequency of campaigns across our brands as an “experienced creator in good standing”. To make sure all current and potential Backers are fully informed of all our ongoing projects, we will be consistently updating a public Project Pipeline Tracker (which can be found and viewed below after the “Follow Us” section) to reflect our most current campaign list and fulfillment level for each and every project!

? „In Between the Trees – A Queer Comic You Can’t Miss!
A Story of love, transformation, and reclaiming personal freedom in a spiritual society. (English/German)
In Between the Trees” is a graphic story that will take the reader into the psychologically complex world of a cult, which serves as the backdrop for the profound, personal transformation of the protagonist, Mathilde. The story unfolds in the picturesque yet isolated region of Corbières in southern France in the early ’90s, addressing themes of identity, love, and freedom in the face of manipulation and control.
“In Between the Trees” centers on a young woman, Mathilde, who enters the unusual world of a religious group. In the remote South of France, she is initially charmed by ashram life, but the strict rules and rigid hierarchy soon raise doubts. The situation is further complicated by her romantic feelings for Anita, the community’s cook. Will Mathilde stay for love or follow her instincts and leave?
