crowdfundingHi, all!
It's been a while since I posted here, but Wonder City Stories has continued. I'm now posting episodes for volume 4, so if you were waiting for volume 3 to finish before reading the whole thing, here's your opportunity!
The summary:
Wonder City Stories is an ongoing serial that explores a richly-populated superhero comic book universe through the eyes of a group of compelling characters who aren't usually seen in comic books: women, elderly people, POCs, LGBTQI people, and more.
It's a universe where the equivalent of Superman is a short, round, middle-aged black woman, and its version of Captain America is a homeless, elderly veteran living out of her van. Where superpowers don't guarantee special treatment, money, or success, and where time continues to flow forward so that most people age and have to live with consequences, with no reboots or retcons.
In other news, I will have an ebook and print edition of the first story arc -- edited and tweaked heavily -- available by, hopefully, Thanksgiving. Watch for the cover reveal to come soon, as well as a sneak peek at the opening chapter!
