Next World Tarot: Pocket Edition & Art Book by Cristy C Road

Following up on the breathtaking “Next Word Tarot” deck by queer-punk-feminist-latinex icon Cristy C Road, we are pleased to present an over-sized hardcover art-book with expanded card descriptions in both English and Spanish, along with an economically priced “pocket edition” of the original deck at standard Tarot deck size.

Featuring body outlaws, endangered cultures, and anti-colonial belief systems, THE NEXT WORLD TAROT envisions a world where justice relies on respect and revolutionary love. The Fool’s Journey is about smashing systematic oppression, owning their truths, being accountable to the people and places that support them, and taking back a connection to their body that may have been lost through trauma or societal brainwashing. The NEXT WORLD TAROT is a visual spectacle of both the battle cry and the re-connection between outcasts and their criminalized identities.

Hardcover: 176 full-color pages; 9” x 12”; SRP: $50.00; ISBN: 9781945509384
Pocket deck: 78 full-color cards and guide-book; 2.5″ x 3.75″; SRP: $20; ISBN: 9781945509377

Fall in Love with Grease Bats!

Posted on by

BOOM! Studios has announced Grease Bats, the first original graphic novel inspired by the online phenomenon created by Archie Bongiovanni. Arriving in stores July 2019, this over-sized collection of Archie Bongiovanni’s hit webcomic, previously seen on the Autostraddle Saturday Morning Cartoons series, features brand-new stories only available here, making it a must-have for fans and new readers alike.

Grease Bats follows the daily adventures of two best friends — Andy, a trans genderqueer individual who is both tough and loving, and their BFF Scout, an all-feelings-all-the-time mistake-maker — as they navigate friendships, roommates, and romances within their community. From sexcapades gone awry to the meaning of tarot and the realities of finding your place within queer spaces, these stories use wry humor to show that being queer comes from the heart! And the head!  And occasionally sometimes the groin!

Grease Bats will be available for sale at local comic book shops and bookstores in July 2019.

Limerence Press’s A Quick & Easy Guide to They/Them Pronouns Gets A Second Printing And A New Cover!

Posted on by

Oni Press has announced they have exceeded sales on the initial printing of the beloved educational comic guide, A Quick & Easy Guide to They/Them Pronouns! To celebrate the second printing, they’re giving this informative and humorous comics guide a brand-new cover by Oni Press’s own senior graphic designer, Kate Z. Stone. The new design complements the cover of the next installment of the series, A Quick & Easy Guide to Queer & Trans Identities. Join Archie Bongiovanni and Tristan Jimerson to learn how to use they/them pronouns in your everyday life, in a book that Pride calls “as handy as the dictionary”!

Archie, a snarky genderqueer artist, is tired of people not understanding gender neutral pronouns. Tristan, a cisgender dude, is looking for an easy way to introduce gender neutral pronouns to his increasingly diverse workplace. The longtime best friends team up in this short and fun comic guide that explains what pronouns are, why they matter, and how to use them. They also include what to do if you make a mistake, and some tips-and-tricks for those who identify outside of the binary to keep themselves safe in this binary-focused world. While the book focuses on they/them pronouns specifically, they hope that people find the lessons presented are applicable to other pronouns as well.
