Comic
A Comic will be included with every Group Buy order and is my take on the beginning of a story that is relevant to many people within our community, new and old! For the first part of the story, we have focused more on a graphic art piece, to leave some up to your imagination and allow me to see where the future takes us!
There will be no comics sold separately, and everyone will have to wait for shipment to see what is inside! In the meantime:
