Sorry for the lateness on this one kids, but as you know, the Kickstarter blew the hell up today with awesomeness (we fully funded in under 30 hours!) and are now cruising wonderfully past that. And there are still locked artists rewards to reveal and everything. It’s just awesome.

And a huge thanks to so many of you that donated, supported, and spread the word. You guys are almost as badass as Lola 😉

So, I thought a lot about which amazing and inspirational superheroine should start this off, and after much thought I went with Buffy (of Buffy The Vampire Slayer ‘natch)…she was of course MY biggest superheroine influence and is in large part responsible for Bonnie, Lola, and The Girl Who Would Be King in general.

So, thanks Buffy (and Joss!)…here’s to you!

And while not an illustration, I had to include this, which is kind of alt reality “slightly hardcore” Buffy that I find fun:
