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.
