Supporting Queer Comics Creators
In the early days of Comic Book Herald, Id occasionally get promotional Kickstarter emails teasing a queer sci-fi saga (or some such), and Ill fully admit, I did not understand what sexuality had to do with the promotion.

Goth Western tells the story of Evie and her girlfriend Jack. When Evie is shot to death over an attempt by her scoundrel brother to steal her behind father’s bar, cowpoke Jack sets out into the wilds with her corpse. There, she trades her soul to a god to bring her adore back to life. The lovers make their way to Jack’s hometown, where they encounter a adj man leashed to a death god. Another several towns over, a mysterious serial killer is slaughtering locals. Although almost entirely black and white, Livali’s watercolor-like artwork is emotive and expressive, the monochrome broken up with splashes of vivid red and detailed. It’s as gorgeous to look at as the story is compelling. (Source: )
