How does a sapphic motorcycle romance sound to you? Let me tell you, it's pretty fantastic. Cryptid Creator Corner veteran and comics writer/illustrator Fellhound returns to the show for the first time since she helped us host the first annual Comic Book Yeti ICE or Indy Comics Excellence Awards show. Today, we are diving into her new five issue mini-series S.I.R. from Boom Studios. S.I.R. or Seismic Ironclash Roulette tells the story of two girls in a very elite private school. Avery Sakai and her girlfriend Nico Xing are separated. Nico is already enrolled at Bridleham Academy and Avery takes a shot at reconciliation by upending her life and joining the academy herself to try and win her back. What Avery doesn't know is that Nico is involved in a type of armored extracurricular, jousting on motorcycles. Will they rekindle those feelings? Who knows but rest assured Fell is going for a happy ending here. We get into some of the inspirations behind the series including Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury and why she wanted to drop motorcycle jousting in a prep school among other things. Make sure to pick this book up.
