Southerners' migrant north to build a new life in Harlem. But news of deaths back home shatters everything. Grief follows them north, taking the form of a Black Dog spirit stalking the streets.
Why is it hunting them, and who will survive it?

Structural racism isn’t just about bias or hate; it’s about systems:
It’s “the totality of ways societies foster racial discrimination through mutually reinforcing systems of housing, education, employment, health care, and criminal justice” (Kisa & Kisa, 2025).

Batman Day at Soundwave Comics was a lot of fun! Good to hang out at the comic shop with friends and make some new ones. I was sketching some and drew Batman and Scarecrow. Then I had a sketchcover commission of Jake as the Scarecrow while Suburban Fuzz Designs drew the Finn as Batman!
