IT EATS PLANETS is now publicly available to read!

A queer, sci-fi comic about heists, ancient evil and fighting to survive on a dying planet. New pages every Thursday.

Please kindly check it out, give it a read and share it

🔴 iteatsplanets.com 🔴

A three armed woman in a prison jumpsuit with a mullet walks in handcuffs along a metal walkway away from armed guards in futuristic, padded armour and helmets that completely hide their faces. Behind the woman the title "IT EATS PLANETS" is emblazoned in bright red. At the bottom the author's name "Samantha Mackenzie Greer" is written in red too.

In the background is a landing pad with a large, well used helicopter with fumes falling from its exhaust pipe. Above them is a dark sky of green clouds though a parting reveals the void of space where a ringed gas giant is silhouetted against a red sun.

A blueish, gloomy derelict factory floor with an avalanche of garbage in the foreground and sides of the frame with a sliver of floor space guiding the eye under a concrete bridge and past heavily graffitied columns, to a large, towering machine and altar at the centre. A person in a poncho sits there, waiting beneath the collapsed ceiling where far above we can see towering pipes of extraction criss crossing to form a dark, steel sky.

A comic page. A vertical panel on the left side which depicts a mysterious person in a poncho coming down the steps of a trench and alleyway carved out of rock, covered in graffiti and with pipes criss crossing above.

On the right are a panel of this person rustling under their poncho and a second panel show them looking up some small orange case with a relieved smile, held in the hand of a previously concealed third arm. A third panel shows them concealing this object, their attention drawn to something off panel.

International Lesbian Day?

You can celebrate by checking out this dyke's comic, complimenting my new jacket and wishing me well on tonight's date 😌👉👉 iteatsplanets.com

Artwork of a heavily scarred three armed woman in shorts and a torn vest, brandishing a small black handgun in her third hand. Her clothes are black and red, her mullet is dyed a pale blonde and the words "Pride Month" are printed on her vest with the font darkening at the edges on each line until the central letters in red spell out "Demon".

Picture of Samantha in a teal/cyan motorcycle racing jacket with varioys Yamaha patches.

what about the classic three armed dyke and her newly acquainted emo cyborg hacker/fellow inmate duo

Cropped image of a comic page, showing two panels.

In the first, a three armed woman approaches a man stood on a ledge. Both are wearing orange, prison jumpsuits. "Who are you...?!" asks the man. "Nobody," replies the woman. "You Cyanide? Maybe step back, hear me out?"

Second panel. Shot facing man, as he turns away, looking back over the ledge with a defeated look. The woman stands behind, visible over his shoulder. "Just...go away," he says. "Guards'll kill you for being here." "They'll kill us both. Ain't that what you want?"

The truth at last

how come if a film or game studio is named after a guy it sounds bad but if a cafe or diner is named "Mike's" it's reassuring

Apologies to my patrons about the wait for the next page

A version of the "babe please stop" meme in which the crying anime girl has been replace with Debris from IT EATS PLANETS saying "sam please stop, finish the page" while on the right Samantha has drawn herself with her back to Debris saying "just a few dozen more pipes..."

Henry is mob wife Birdie's right hand, paying off an old debt for protection from cops & the hardship of queer life in the 50s.

When Birdie’s husband returns to town, Henry must decide how much of her soul she can sell - and if she would drag her partner Nicky down with her.

#DVpit #DVart #GN #A

A stark black and white comic page. Across the top, an elegant queen in a black dress stands in a spotlight, arms extended out to her audience.

[Birdie's nightclub, 1940.]

She bows, diffused light and stage curtains swirling around her in a dreamlike state.

In close up, Henry - a scruffy teenage butch with bruises on her face - watches from a window far above. Her fingers barely touch the glass, momentarily distracted from her own dangerous predicament.

"Are you nuts??" someone behind her snaps, too loud, and Henry flinches away from the view. Back to reality.

The same room Henry's in, but from the opposite side. She's so small, against the enormous windows. Two men argue on the other side of the room - a larger man in a suit, and Dickie, a thin, weak-chinned guy in a tuxedo, missing his jacket.

"Bringing this here?!" he's saying, "I don't care whose vig they made off with- this isn't how we *do* things!" His arms are spread wide in furious gesturing.

His companion scrubs his face in his hands - "You think I don't know that?"

He gestures wide, and his shadow is thrown huge and intimidating against the wall. "What I didn't know, right," he snaps, "was they had a *girl* runnin' their whole operation!"

"Even if it is some kinda pervert-"

Henry averts her eyes. Her cheek is bruised.

"Wha- hey, how's that *my* problem?" The thin man stammers, holding his hands in front of him as if to fend the whole thing off. "I mean, look at *you*, pal, blood on your shirt- and here anybody coulda seen you!"

Henry's head snaps to attention as the muscle pulls his companion aside, conspiratorial. "Look, Dickie, I don't wanna spend my whole night buryin' this kid."

The man has a wide hand over the back of Dickie's neck. Henry's skin prickles at the memory, disgust curling in her gut. The hand squeezes.

"I'll throw my back out again," the man is saying, distantly. "Can't we figure something out?"

Henry stumbles forward, clutching at the front of her shirt with its broken buttons. Trying to find her voice. Speak up in her own defense. Anything. "H- hey-"

An older woman leans against the window sill at Henry's elbow, looking down at the same stage that Henry had been just moments ago. Henry starts at the sound of her voice.

"What's your name?"

The woman who addresses her is much older. Elegant, with a coiffure of long graying hair pulled to one side of her face . She watches Henry patiently, but expectantly. Like they have all the time in the world for her to answer.

"It's... Henrietta." she manages, stumbling like a school kid over her full name. Torn between flustered and afraid. She looks away, biting it all down with her arms folding in front of her. "Just call me Henry."

"Henry..." the woman muses. "Well, Henry. If you work for me, you'll need to work hard." She gestures down below them, to the crowd at the club's tables. "Pull your own weight and then some."

Below, a butch woman in a waiter's white tuxedo serves drinks. Birdie continues- "This isnt a charity service."

Henry knows opportunity when she sees it. Defensively, she huffs - "I'm no moocher. I can work."

Head bent to her cigar, Birdie smiles. She heard, of course, what the men said before. A girl, running the whole operation. Right under their noses.

"I'm sure you can."

The dissonance in the UK atm is unreal but gotta hand it to the states, we got nothing quite like the white house saying how their gestapo boys are battling on the streets as if it's The Raid, meanwhile every video you see is a bunch of losers armed to the teeth getting chased off by a dancing frog

Daimon Blades is an endearingly weird first-person slasher that largely makes up for its unevenness with brutal swordplay. www.endlessmode.com/video-games/...

A lot of folk gonna tell you the new Matrix is Good, Actually. It's SO SMART and SO META, they'll say! They're gonna tell you that, no, you don't need to have played The Matrix Online to get it! And it is interesting, in the ways all the sequels are interesting.

Worth watching? Sure. Good? Alas...
