I got the chance to read Black Plastic by @niccillustrates.bsky.social and @joshtierney.bsky.social - it's a punchy cyberpunk story that's a party from start to finish. Grab it from @wildstarpress.bsky.social and support fun indie sci fi comics!

As explained in my Catsuka news article, the trailer of "Wildfire Sleepwalking" (野火梦游) was produced by a small team, the format of this project is not specified, but they are currently recruiting for production (and I think they really liked Look Back ;-).
