Here's another incredible indie comic project that needs your support! Cuz if you want to see more new stories in the world, you have to show that there's an audience for them.

I've already made my pledge and with just days left will you make yours?

Hey yall!

For the last 3 years or so I’ve been working hard on my first comic book. And now, I’m ready to share it with the world.

It’s called Star Wielder. It’s a story about turning fear into power. And I would love your support bringing it to life. ❤️

Come closer.

Honestly, if we reach a nice even 1000 backers, I'd be very pleased. (We would need 127 folks.)

I have 7 cooies left of the first run of my graphic novel The Violent Vixens Ride Again! Just $10! After this, I'll be releasing them under my press @burningphoenixpr.bsky.social with more art of the Vixens through the years and the story of how they met, Vixens Assemble. (The pdf is only $8 too!)

A dark blue graphic with pink text around the cover for The Violent Vixens Ride Again. Text: Do you like: Heist stories? Getting the gang back together? Retired villains? Lifelong friends? 7 copies left of 1st edition. Shop link in bio.

Four older women in their fifties stand menacingly on a staircase. The closest on the left is in a pink shirt and jeans, holding a gun. She has white hair, fair skin and green eyes.The woman on the right is of persian decent and is holding magical fire in her left hand. The next closest on is Black with a blue shirt and jeans. She's adjusting her glasses. The woman farthest away is grinning wildly up with an orange aura around her.

Wow. What a weekend. Now that I’ve had time to breathe, let me give out some proper thanks and let y’all know what happens now.

In a dark ominous cave three Black women adventurers walk along while a huge spider lurks behind them. The woman closest to the viewer is dressed like a warrior with a west African styled sword and purple, brown, and red outfit. She holds a lit torch. The woman in the middle is very short, wielding a large ornate axe and wearing furs and leathers. The woman to the rear is an elf, holding a glowing staff and in a blue gown with a collar that looks vaguely Egyptian. On the ceiling behind them the spider is brown and tarantula-like. The light shines off its many eyes.

Now that the kickstarter is over, I can get back to my babies.

A drawing for the parody comic Soul Food Wars. A group of Black teens gather in a kitchen cooking and eating. One stands at the stove flipping food in a frying pan while looking shocked over his shoulder. The girl behind him has fruit in her arms and is dropping a pair of lemons. The student directly across the island from her is trying to protect the food they're chopping from the fruit. Other teens in the background look on in shock and worry.

From here, the creators go to WORK. And, lemme tell you, they are ready! You are going to see new stories from some of your favs and probably gain some new favs. There are 15 different creators, artists, writers, and some both so I know you’ll find something to love.

First, thank you to every single person who donated to the campaign, everyone who shared it, everyone who talked it up. You made this possible, the first all Black woman fantasy comic anthology. This is the start of history and you were there.
