First time a comic I co-created is on the big boyz shelf at my LCS. Feels weird! DEEP NIGHT took ~3 years to get to print, mostly due to my inexperience on a project that size!
The art = crazy good, WALOPH did an a hell of a job.

Some really good reception for this RYKER comic with @admancomics.bsky.social. I only managed to send one person an empty envelope... so that's good.
Picture: Ryker print edition at my LCS in Portland, OR on the New Release shelf like a real comic :)
