Gritty anime protagonist, Lady Vengeance, finally realizes her romantic feelings for the girl next door. When Lady Vengeance is brought to the real world by a superfan, she’ll learn there’s more to life than darkness and revenge… and she’ll find love with the superfan’s twin sister: a kind-hearted cheerleader. Slice of Life is a queer romance that deconstructs the “slice of life” genre, unpacking the importance of everyday narratives to tell a larger story about the meaning of life from the point of view of a fictional character. In this installment, Yuriko starts to figure out where she belongs in this new world, while Lucy goes through her own gay self-discovery journey.

A comedy/action adventure comic steeped in TTRP lore brought to you by the writers of the Ringo Award-winning Metalshark Bro. Nick Noons, Kevin Cuffe, Bob Frantz, and Chas Pangburn are proud to present Get Lich or Die Trying, issue 1 of a four-issue mini-series. To save their community, a crew of lowly monsters set out on a fool’s errand: to destroy a powerful undead wizard with the hopes of stopping the never-ending stream of murderous, glory-hunting adventurers trampling through their homes. Get Lich or Die Trying is a fantasy/comedy comic steeped in tabletop gaming lore that is sure to appeal to fans of Coda or Rat Queens with enough laughs to hook the Rock Candy Mountain and I Hate Fairyland crowd.
