Amid the chaos, Barbara Gordon comes up with some rather…risky suggestions. That’s how our group of women ended up in the famous but not-so-friendly lab of Pamela Isley.
pink kryptonite Returning to Roundup, a fan-made Supergirl comic, Kara and Lena must resolve their issues and unresolved love while ensuring Gotham doesn’t descend into madness due to the spread of a new virus.

A trip home leads Sour into one of the biggest mysteries of her life…how it ended.
Supernatural Quantum Leap This is what someone described the project on the project page. Looking at the preview page it’s not hard to see why, Salle updates the art based on the time period the main characters are in, which honestly just adds to the creativity of this comic. It all ends with finding out how Tate died. I thought it was a fantastic episode and I know readers will love it.

A beautiful new UK edition of Tillie Walden’s classic coming-of-age graphic novel is soon to be published by Avery Hill Publishing!
spinning This book is Tillie Walden’s memoir about their journey of reinvention. I believe the best part about this type of project is the honesty of it, and with that honesty you can not only keep the reader engrossed in your story, but really absorb it in their own way. That’s important for this kind of project, and it’s what sets it apart from other types of memoirs (all in the graphic novel format). This project is special, so it would be a shame not to check it out, and 116 other fans currently feel the same way. The project is crowdfunded at over $9,000, so be sure to check it out before it’s too late.
