I lied yesterday. I said there was "no better way" than to start your Pesto Comics collection with our Starter Pack.

But there is a better way: The Pesto Pack.

Get EVERY COVER OF EVERY COMIC we've published so far - all in one box. And I'll throw in extras as a thank you.

Just a few hours left.

Yes, Naked Kaiju Woman has all the nudity you would expect given the title--

--but it lowkey has some of the most incredible & inventive kaiju designs by Rafael Chrestani.

I've asked so many folks at DC when this will be addressed for Canadian subscribers.

The answer I get have been lackluster.

I just to read on my PC. If it's possible to read DC books on Globalcomix, how is it impossible for DC itself?!
