Wrote up a Substack post with some updates on my end, from the latest in production of The Wretched, where you can read the first 40pgs of it FOR FREE(!), and all the new things related to my projects that I am thankful for. :3

It wasn't intentional, but the vast majority of the people contributing to Letters from the Void are LGBTQ+, and I'm so proud of that.

When you support the book, you're supporting queer comics creators! 😍

Help us get closer to our goal. 👇 👇 👇

Thanks to Alejandra, all 5 cards of my main characters from The Wretched are translated into Spanish! Why? Because the comic will be in Spanish, too!

I can only post up to 4 images, so be sure to check the comments for the fifth character, plus a link to a 40pg preview in Spanish + Kickstarter! 😁

Woo-hoo, we made it to 50 followers! 🥳
This is my first #comic, so it's nice to see many others are interested in it. I'm planning to get the #Kickstarter ready by mid next year, so hopefully we can get many more onboard. :3

Next up: Targeting 60!

Anyone want a look? Check the comments below! 😁

Well... In a rather sudden turn of events...
You can now actually read the first 40 (out of 70) pages of my first #comic, The Wretched, on @globalcomix.com. 😳

It's a mix of #horror, drama, and light #sci-fi, if that's up your alley.
Available in English+Spanish. 😊
