Turnover is an experimental horror comic about ocean terrors & disaster lesbians! Available on @itch.io cryskir.itch.io

Like the R/P FLIP itself, the reader must rotate the book to read the comic, and share in the characters' disorientation (works better as a physical book, but alas!)
#comicoop

A grey halftoned comic in horizontal format.
The chef presents a cake to the group of grad students.
Chef: There's no Rotate-90-degrees cake...So Upside-down will have to do.
Tall student notices Captain and Dr. Adams enter.
Tall student: Ah Captain, you found her. You still listening to your Bloop, Dr. Adams?
Captain: What Bloop?
Messy bun grad student: There are some anomalies in the ice-calving audio we've been getting...According to Dr. Adams. None of us can hear it...
Glasses grad student: It could be an animal call, but the volume would be way beyond any known species.
They cut up the cake.
Dr. Adams: But I don't have any other data...Whatever it is, it's too deep.
Messy bun student: Maybe it's the Meg?
Long haired student: It's not the Meg!
Tall student hands a slice of cake to Dr. Adams.
Tall student: What if we transmitted the sound back toward the source? Lure it out? Here you go!
Dr. Adams: Oh! Thank you...
Dr Adams stares down at the cake.
Long Haired Student: Don't replay animal calls, it messes with their natural behaviour!
Dr. Adams's panel is rotated 90 degrees. She is not listening.

Panel 2: Murderbot glares down at her, clearly furious, and says, I'm not mad.

A sketch of Murderbot and Miki. Miki hold up the stump of its arm and says, It's just a flesh wound! Murderbot looks annoyed and thinks, Oh for fuck's sake.

folks on tumblr seemed to appreciate the banter and depiction of Matt's senses in these pages, which makes me really happy!
I enjoy these two weirdos
#DaredevilDoR #daredevil #comiccover #coverartist

A comic cover. The title reads Daredevil: Day of Rest.
It has a close up drawing of Foggy Nelson, looking skeptical. On his right shoulder, an little angelic Matt Murdock in a white suit sits and smiles. On his left shoulder, a
little Daredevil in red leans on his cheek and smiles, casually twirling his num-chuks.
