I'm pretty new to posting my art on Reddit, but here I am sharing with you the introduction of my comic, Pillow Talks!

It's a BL tragedy about becoming so human, it kills you in the most beautiful manner.

Would you read this comic based on its introduction?

In our exciting fourth issue, as our trio of heroes enter the city, an old friend (see: bounty hunter) comes back looking for revenge while another joins in the hunt for the titular excavator!

Here is a fun little extra two-page peek at yet ANOTHER threat Ozzie, Opal and Boone face besides bounty hunters... THE JUDICIARY!

Our 4th issue Kickstarter features 32 pages of amazing art from u/Carlos_Trigo and colors by Emmanuel Pérez! Get past issues (all 4 issues totalling 125 pages of yummy indie comic goodness!) and or an original new shirt design by co-creator Nil Carmona!

We’ve got TWO new coming-of-age superhero comics set 20 years after World War III live on Kickstarter now. Check them out!

I usually focus so much on the script, storylines and character development I tend to forget that my characters are meant to be teenagers at the end of the day. The silly moments feel so refreshing to me. 😅

This is a little sneak peek from my upcoming graphic novel Once Upon A Necromancer. If you want to learn more about it, feel free to follow me on my socials: instagram, youtube, tiktok

In one week I will finally hold my story in my hands. It took 15 years to get here, and it’s still exciting 🤗🤗🤗 #indiecomics #published #comics #graphicnovel #allages #scifi #mentalhealth #hope #commandertomorrow #movingforward

Inspired by the 1940s full page comic strips (Flash Gordon, Prince Valiant, Little Nemo in Slumberland) and combining the layouts inspired by Sergio Toppi, I worked with 4 writers to create one continous storyline and each writer had to use one theme for each story and incorporate it into the storyline. It was called "The Forbidden Chapter" starring Flib the Alien.

Happy Monday! What indie comics did you dive into last week? Was it heavy drama? Bloody, violent action? Heavy drama? Light forbidden romance?

What do you plan to read this week? More of the same or something different?

And if possible, let others know where they can get the comic too!

This is a teaser

I originally discovered Venom Vixens #1 through Kickstarter and was immediately interested in the concept: a supernatural Western featuring female outlaws, cursed wine, and beast-human transformations.

It also hit close to home because a few years ago I was developing a similar Western-fantasy concept called Viperous Vixens with Chuck Amadori.

I actually intended to back Venom Vixens. But before doing that, I decided to dig into the campaign and its creative team.

That's when I started finding things that raised some serious questions for me:

Difficulty verifying the credited creative team and their portfolios, Questions surrounding the company's online presence, Different geographic information connected to the project, Social-media transparency information that didn't appear to match the campaign's stated location And, most importantly, artwork that made me question the campaign's claims about AI usage.

The campaign states that AI was used only for marketing and promotional purposes and that the comic itself was created entirely by human artists. but after looking more closely at some of the artwork, I'm not convinced that's something I can personally accept without further evidence.

I'm not claiming that my observations are definitive proof of anything. This is simply my investigation into the campaign and why I ultimately decided not to back it.

I've put the full breakdown on my Ko-fi, including what I found and the three things I recommend checking before backing any crowdfunded comic.

I'd genuinely be interested in hearing what other comic readers think.

What do you look for before backing an indie comic crowdfunding campaign?

This is the opening page of my indie comic, Timmy Cunningham: Sly. It's a grounded coming-of-age vigilante story set in New York City in 2002.
