Gamer Girl & Vixen in Nothing At All
Good news, everybody! My Gamer Girl & Vixen Kickstarter hit its funding goal this morning! We’re fully funded and are definitely going to make the comic this year! I’m quite thrilled. The campaign is still ongoing and will be for another two weeks, so you can all go pre-order your copy still if you haven’t already!
Now that we’ve hit our goal, we’ll be working towards hitting our first stretch goal, which will involve putting all of the free webcomics into the actual physical comic. I’ve been posting them every Friday for the past few weeks, and here’s the last one, by artist Jo Christian.
Read the comic at Global Comix.
I had a lot of fun writing this one. I had a lot of fun writing all of these mini-comics with my partner, Kristi McDowell. And we’re always having fun making these comics! So you best believe there will be more Gamer Girl & Vixen in the future!

Cartoon Trailer Monday!
Last week was a great week for cartoon trailers. And if I was more on my game, I should have posted about these last week. That’s on me. I’m sure everybody’s already seen these trailers, but you haven’t heard my thoughts on them yet!
First up is the big one, X-Men ’97. Everybody’s been talking about this all weekend, and of course I’m excited for this show. I lived off of the original X-Men animated series, so I am here for this!
Looks wonky but manageable. Not sure bringing back the same voice cast was the best idea. Not sure whatever they’re doing with the animation was the best idea. But their heart seems to be in the right place. Seems like they’ve got some solid stories lined up, and that Daily Bugle flapping in the breeze at the start of the trailer showed Maggott and Stacy X, and if those two characters appear for real in this show, then I’m going to automatically consider it a success.
Also, I am 110% behind everything they’re doing with Morph. Making them nonbinary is a great idea. And I love their new blank face/AoA Morph look. The Morph serialized story from the original show was always really impressive to me, and I’m excited to see them as a solid member of the team now.
X-Men ’97 comes to Disney+ on March 20.
Next up is the trailer for the second half of season two of Invincible. Loved everything so far, love the comic series, so bring it on!
Looks great! I recognize some of the storylines and characters from the comics, and then there’s stuff I’ve forgotten about. I’m confident that the people behind Invincible know exactly what they’re doing and they’re going to pull it off splendidly. So everybody just keep up the good work and get it done!
Invincible returns to Amazon Prime on March 14.
Lastly, our first look at Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! I loved Mutant Mayhem as much as the next person, so I’m on board with those show.
Looks fun. Looks a little cheaply animated, but I can live with that. I don’t actually know if I’ll watch this show. I haven’t watched an ongoing Ninja Turtles cartoon in a very long time. They’re mostly for kids for real. And that’s how it should be! Let kids enjoy the Ninja Turtles. But if it’s as good as the movie, I might try this out.
Tales of the TMNT comes to Paramount+ this summer.

My 6 All-Time Favorite Relationships in Superhero Comics
It’s Valentine’s Day and love is in the air! Or some such stuff. It’s not often my Lists of Six actually land on a holiday, so I figured I might as well do something special to mark the occasion! I love a good romance subplot in my superhero comics as much as I enjoy the superheroics. Heck, I’m even writing my own romance comic in Gamer Girl & Vixen — now on Kickstarter!
Forgive me for the plug, but Valentine’s Day is the perfect place to promote the Gamer Girl & Vixen Kickstarter currently raising money! It’s a story of love, lesbians and larceny, so come on down! And GG&V are just one of my favorite relationships in comics. From classic love stories to niche romances that maybe only I enjoyed, I’ve got this list of my all-time favorite comic book ‘ships.
Join me after the jump for a comic book love connection! And feel free to share your own ‘ships in the comments below!
