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?

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.”

Multiversity Comics –
“Throughout the comic, Christensen and Blas hit home that the fight against bigotry is all our fight and yes, it’s empowering. Mama Tits Saves the World tells us that it gets better, that it’s getting better, but it also reminds us not to neglect our history.” Read Matthew Garcia’s whole review on Multiversity Comics.
Pepe –
I loved the comic. It was to short though. Great message and illustration.
