INTERVIEWS:
Review at Gay.com by Jase Peeples — “Moved by the rash of suicides committed by bullied LGBT teens last year, Christensen and Brill took it upon themselves to create a story they hope will reach others in a way only comics can.”
Interview on Tacoma KOMO — “Imagine a world in which bullied teens are protected by muscled superheroes. It sounds fantastic, but this is exactly the world Zan Christensen and Mark Brill have created in a new comic intended to help teens cope with bullying and harassment in school.”

Al-Qaeda’s Super Secret Weapon $5.99 – $14.99
Turns out the end of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” was just the opening that the terrorists were waiting for! This witty, sexy, spy tale sends up Republicans, the War on Terror™ and gay clichés from A to Z. The end of the world was never so fabulous!
Broken Frontier –
“This look at life in Seattle’s ‘gay-bourhood’ is graphic, crass, and pretty darn funny, which it owes to Chris Lange’s honest writing and the serious sociopolitical issues that lie at the comic’s foundation: artistic freedom and human rights.” Read Reid Vanier’s review on Broken Frontier.
Pacific Center for Human Growth –
“It’s in this easy and familiar tone where Capitol Hillbillies gets most of its appeal: it feels a lot like joking around with your buddies. Only your buddies constantly have the perfect witty responses to your misfortunes and also one of them is naked all the time and sometimes a talking unicorn shows up.” Read Ellen Perry’s review on Pacific Center for Human Growth.
Sequential Tart –
“The tag line for the comic is ‘because sodomy is funny’, and that is a big clue to the kind of humor you’ll find here. Dick jokes, sex jokes, jokes involving Beyoncé, the local Capitol Hill gay culture scene, the occasional strips on hot button topics such as Proposition 8 and same sex marriage. If you find any of that potentially offensive, then this collection is not for you.” Read Patti Martinson’s review on Sequential Tart.
