In all honesty I stopped watching Supernatural about halfway through, but it didn't stop me from keeping up with what those crusty ass men were up to for years afterwards. Anyway I still like this comic & think they should have kissed [2/2]

So basically, if you like mystery, romance, extremely flawed characters, heists, leftist infighting and being gay... this might just be the comic for you. Reposts are very much appreciated! Shaderunners.com 💚✨

The comic is split into three acts, with Act III being halfway finished! So this is a good time to hop on board. Early pages are a bit on the rough side but the quality of the art increases dramatically as you go along.. I pretty much learned how to draw through making this comic.

Ivo Keys and Satinder Hali don’t care who’s in charge as long as they get what they want; Ivo is a bigender opera singer desperately chasing success, Satinder is a navy officer mostly looking for a good time. Will they ever stop flirting? It's unlikely.

The group's leader is Ezra, a pretentious mess with a big vocabulary and a kind heart. His confidant and arguably the secret REAL leader of the group is Pamina, a puppeteer and all-around intense presence. Easton is the two’s begrudging second-in-command. He and Ezra have a weird thing going on.

The story follows Domigo Valdes – a young, wide-eyed immigrant with an overactive heart who moves to Ironwell City and falls in with ✨ the Shaderunners ✨ - a group of mysterious bootleggers who steal colour from the rich in the hopes of opening a speakeasy.

A “prohibition of colour” means that in-universe, the world is literally black-and-white. That is, until the main character sees colour for the first time. The comic is usually in grayscale, but sometimes…

This is a thread all about mine and @lindarrow.bsky.social's queer noir webcomic Shaderunners.com, a historical fantasy comic where the alcohol prohibition in the 1920s is instead a prohibition of COLOUR 🍸💚 The archive is big, it’s free to read, and the story is in its final act!
