I really, really, really need to see Season 7 of Supernatural now!

I need to find some way to catch up, there’s no way I can wait until the next box set now

So, guess what? I am writing on another comic. Maybe I mentioned it. It’s called Stiffs, and it’s one of the most awesome things I’ve ever had the chance to be a part of.

It’s funny, I mean, seriously funny. It’s got some fantastic horror, brilliant action sequences, and great twists.

It’s written by some of the best writers I know, Drew Davies and PJ Montgomery, and features some of the best work by superstar artist in the making Gavin Mitchell I have ever seen. And some stunning colours Adam Cadwell and Kris Carter.

The series has been seen by some early readers when we released a special early edition at Thoughtbubble last year, and it went down real well.

And on Indiegogo for the next few hours, there are great savings and perks for preordering.

So if you like The Walking Dead, Spaced, Buffy/Angel, zombie horror films, hell, all horror films, The Fades, Being Human, then you will absolutely frickin’ love this!

Also, it’s set in South Wales, so that’s new :)

Note how Angel sports a new look on this cover. And technically did in the quick World AIDS Day sketch Gavin did. As a drag queen, I felt that she should basically have a different look every issue (sometimes twice an issue!) because what self-respecting drag artist would wear the same frock all the damn time.

Bitch, please.

THE PRIDE (Created by Joe Glass, Gavin Mitchell and Kris Carter) 

Have you ever been sick of being misrepresented? Of having no one like you to look up to? Have you ever wanted to change everything?

Well, FabMan has. In a world populated by superpowers, the superhero is common. Sadly for FabMan (Tomorrow’s Fabulous Man, Today), he feels a deep schism in the representation of his community, his own heroic exploits being presented as just big jokes in the news. Wan…ting to fight for change, he forms PRIDE, the world’s premier LGBT supergroup. Not a gay superteam, just a team where most members are LGBT. Not exactly receiving the desired response, the group faces opposition from the confrontational Justice Division, more aggressive misrepresentation by the media and are then taken advantage of in the plans of the nefarious Reverend. After a serious trial by fire, the team find themselves the only super team in the world capable of stopping The Reverend’s diabolical plot for world domination.

Join FabMan, Wolf, Sapphire, Frost, Twink, Bear, Angel and White Trash on their mission to help people and improve LGBT representation in the process.

The Pride is a six-issue mini-series written by Joe Glass, and with art by rising star Gavin MItchell, and Kris Carter. The series will be published by Deadstar Publishing, and is seeking further distribution.

 

The whole point of doing this project is to provide young LGBT comics readers with heroes they can look up to, and older ones with heroes they can relate to; it’s to cover issues that straight readers may not be aware of, or may have disregarded as something which ‘doesn’t affect them’ when they affect all of us; it can hopefully change some opinions and help push for an improvement in representation; and most of all, it will be fun!

If we are unsuccessful here, the comic will still come out. But we won’t be able to spread it as far as we would like, and there is little point to a message if no one can actually hear it.
