Hey, if you like this Marvel comic by writer and repeat ComicsXF Interview Podcast guest Jeremy Whitley, you should know he’s about to launch a Zoop crowdfunding campaign for a double-sized flipbook featuring two stories: SLAY! and The Girlfriend Survives. Here’s a bit about each:
SLAY!: Leilah wants to be a monster hunter. She wants to do it so bad, she’s pretending to be the notorious monster hunter known as The Scarred Rider in hopes she may meet the legend herself. But when her first hunt turns out to be way more dangerous than she can handle, Leilah may not live long enough to meet the Rider or, worse yet, she just might. This post-apocalyptic monster-hunting western is the first chapter of an epic about coming of age soaked in blood and monster guts and the dangers of meeting your heroes in the dark woods while you’re impersonating them.
The Girlfriend Survives follows the story of Delilah Dillon, a barista who wins the heart of local college professor Billy Bright. But what she can’t possibly guess is that Billy is the civilian alter ego of the mighty superhero Brightstar! And when Brightstar’s greatest foe discovers her connection, she finds herself headed down the same route as a hundred civilian love interests before her – right into the fridge. But Delilah has a secret of her own: she’s a survivor and this superhero love story is about to get flipped on its head.
You can find the prelaunch page for the campaign here.
