A comic book tackling the subject of teen bullying and suicide, written by Charles “Zan” Christensen and drawn by Mark Brill.
Shannon gets picked on a lot; his dad and teachers think he should just “fit in” more, but that doesn’t help. So Shannon escapes into a super-powered alter-ego whenever he’s in a bad situation. But will the power within be enough to save him?
In addition to the main story, the book contains bonus pages by a collection of comics industry heavyweights, including Gail Simone (Wonder Woman, Birds of Prey), Phil Jimenez (New X-Men, Wonder Woman), Greg Rucka (Detective Comics, Gotham Central), Matthew Clark (Outsiders, Wonder Woman), Stephen Sadowski (JSA, Warlord of Mars), Dan Parent (Archie, Kevin Keller), Donna Barr (The Desert Peach), Andy Mangels (Gay Comics, Iron Man: Beneath the Armor) and Carla Speed McNeil (FINDER).

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.”

Comics Worth Reading –
“There’s a new woman, the perky blonde Miss Butterback, who is a lot more than she pretends to be (another classic character type, welcome to see). Plus, Dash is dragged back to the police station for a new revelation and a coming threat.” Read Joanna Draper Carlson’s review on Comics Worth Reading.
Foxy Jazzabelle –
“A good mystery is when slowly but surely, you see how occurrences that, at first glance, don’t seem to have any connection to each other connect together in a cohesive way, and that’s what we get with Dash.” Read Foxy Jazzabelle’s full review.
Pulp Cultured –
“Brendan Fraser would love for Hollywood to pen up something as exciting as Dash, the ongoing series from the likes of Dave Ebersole and artist Delia Gable. If you thought Hollywood was running out of ideas, point them in the direction of one of our favorite independent duos in today’s day-in-age of ComiXology’s fine submit platform and the wonders of how the internet showcases us talent day in and day out.” Read Jordan Cruz’s review on Pulp Cultured.
Sequential Tart –
“Dash is still fun as a character and I enjoyed his banter with his saucy secretary and his more pointed snarking towards homophobic police detective Bruno Fernez.” Read Patti Martinson’s review on Sequential Tart.
Kleefeld on Comics –
“Dash is a solid story in and of itself. But what I find most intriguing is how the individuals of 1940 act and interact, knowing Dash’s sexual orientation. Who accepts him, who tolerates him, and who actively hates him. The story doesn’t at all revolve around Dash’s homosexuality, and all of the characters seem well-rounded outside of whatever relationship they have with Dash, but that identity Dash brings to the table and how others feel about that make for an interesting undercurrent that runs through the book.” Read Sean Kleefeld’s review on Kleefeld on Comics.
