I’m for sure making comics, everybody!

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!

Gamer Girl & Vixen Kickstarter Has Launched!
The time has come, henchies! My new Kickstarter for Gamer Girl & Vixen vol. 2: Tyrant Lizard Queen has launched and I’m hoping you’ll check it out! It’s the sequel to the first graphic novel my team and I released a couple years ago. Both that first comic and the new one are available through this Kickstarter.
Click this link to check out my new Gamer Girl & Vixen comic!
This project has been a labor of love! I’ve always wanted to be a fiction writer, and this is going to be my year for making more comics! I have more to reveal coming up for the year ahead. But for right now, I’m all-in on making more Gamer Girl & Vixen comics!
If you’re not familiar with the series, it’s about two LGBTQ supervillains who meet cute on the rooftops of New York and use their powers to rob celebrities! And in the new graphic novel, Gamer Girl & Vixen come up against their new adversary: Tyrannosaurus Regina, the Beyoncé of Crime! I can’t wait to get this story out there for people to read!
So check out the campaign and, if you’re in the mood, snag yourself a copy of my new comic!

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 2/10/24
It’s Super Bowl Weekend! And I’m probably instead going to go see the movie American Fiction in an empty theater. It’s supposed to be pretty good. I also had a fun time reading comics this week, like the new Ultimate Black Panther and the new ThunderCats!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Sensational She-Hulk #5 for another very fun, character-based issue. I love what I love, and sometimes She-Hulk really delivers.
Meanwhile, still playing Super Mario Bros. Wonder, still having a ball. It’s a fun, simple game, which is what a traditional Mario game should be. I spent the past week watching all three seasons of Slow Horses on AppleTV+, and that show was good, solid entertainment. I hope Gary Oldman was having fun.
Also, if you haven’t seen yet, the latest volume of my self-published comic — Gamer Girl & Vixen — is coming to Kickstarter on Monday! I would love your support and I’ve no doubt you’ll love my comic!
Comic Reviews: Birds of Prey #6, Captain America #6, Sensational She-Hulk #5, ThunderCats #1 and Ultimate Black Panther #1.
