![]() ![]() A special shout out to the amazing people who preordered the comic at Anime Weekend Atlanta. We are awed and humbled to have anyone at all spend their time reading our comic, let alone to receive the feedback we have. That same inclusive thinking is our guiding star as we plan for future comics. The creation of a fantasy world that had a place for women of color was our inspiration. Sometimes you have to take it into your own hands to say “white people aren’t the only people who have these experiences.” And in some genres it feels like you have to yell out loud “White people aren’t the only people!” Fantasy is a genre in which this is especially true. Even in comics, which have a relatively fast turnaround, it can take a while for change to happen. Things are getting better out there, but publishing is usually a few years behind the times. We are used to seeing people like us only as background characters, rarely even significant side characters, in American media. We are used to our cultures being the butt of the joke. We are used to having our stories overlooked and oversimplified. So, we live in the space where people make racist comments about our families to our faces and expect us to agree. The three of us involved in the production of this comic all identify as Latina, but we are all also mixed race. We created this comic because we believed that there was something missing from your typical comics. ![]() Thank you for reading our humble first comic. The print version will be available on December 14th and we will be starting chapter 2 around that time as well.Ĭhapter 2 will focus more on our rag-tag team of adventurers We will also be getting ready for Chapter 2! All of the pages need to get this same treatment, after all. We are taking a few weeks off to prepare the print edition. All of this is painted using just watercolors over the ink that we used as the line work for the screen toned pages of the webcomic. It’s in watercolor as a teaser for the print edition, which will be full color just like this. Stephanie Mendez Post the wyverns webcomics indie comics fantasy elves PoC WoC Thank you so much to the people who have stuck with our comic thus far, and to those of you who will support us in the future, You can buy it by following the link below: The entire chapter has been beautifully painted in watercolor, and it’s absolutely spectacular. In the meantime, we’re happy to announce that the full-color print edition of Chapter 1: An Elf Named Kate is available for purchase on Amazon. We did some brainstorming, some world-building, and some long-term planning, and we’re confident the result is going to be worth the wait. As a team we realized we were not happy with the direction our story was headed. The even better news is that the new chapter (and the rest of the storyline) is going to be so much more compelling than we originally planned. The good news is, we are still working hard on it, and you will be seeing new updates from us within the next month. Watch my Facebook and Instagram for design and building progress photos!
