Well met, my dear Grand Geeks and Gatherers! We are on the road to a double-headed holiday with the Superbowl and Valentine’s celebrations back to back. I certainly hope your favorite team takes the top honors and that love is in the air for you as well. As for me, I’ll continue indulging my favorite fandoms and enjoying some reading. But before I do so, lets see what looks good in the indie comics world!
Destiny, NY: Valentine’s Day Special #1 (one-shot)
Writer(s): Pat Shand
Artist(s): Chiara Colasanti, Rosi Kampe, Rachel Dukes

Synopsis: “In the first special Destiny, NY one-shot, writer Pat Shand (Snap Flash Hustle, Thirsty) tells three stories of love, yearning, and romance set in a world where magic is a real and accepted part of everyday life. In these slice-of-life stories, a cat escapes, a Necromancer is scorned, and vows are renewed. If you haven’t jumped on board the ongoing Destiny, NY title, this one-shot is the perfect jumping on point.”
