I really want this campaign to succeed, so I talked to “School Spirit” artist Arielle Jovellanos, “Ruby’s Equation” writer Sarah Kuhn and “Beauties” artist Trungles about what it was like working on the series, what they’re looking forward to in the physical version of the book and why fans should support this campaign. These are super great comics that I loved reading and loved talking about throughout last year. There’s also a brand new comic by Kieron Gillen and Christine Norrie that’s about the magic of a first kiss. If you’re a fan of Pride and Prejudice or Jane Eyre, this comic is perfect for you. Finally, there’s “Ruined,” by Sarah Vaughn, Sarah Winifred Searle, and Ryan Ferrier, a really amazing and subtle regency-era comic about a newly married couple who have yet to get to know each other. “Beauties” is a straight up beautiful comic that’s a really great twist on the classic Beauty and the Beast type story. “Ruby’s Equation” is an absolutely adorable slice of life comic about a girl with supernatural powers working at a coffee shop trying to create love between others and realizing that maybe she’s missing out too. I love this story, the art and colors are gorgeous, the writing is funny and sweet and great, and it all comes together to create a truly wonderful reading experience. “School Spirit” is a really adorable high school romance comic that’s like if Archie comics were full of queer people of color who also could do magic. That’s all changing as Rosy Press is teaming with Oni Press to launch a Kickstarter campaign aimed at printing a physical volume of the series featuring “School Spirit,” “Ruby’s Equation,” “Beauties” and the first chapter of “Ruined.” Before now, it was only available digitally, or in a very limited run of the first issue. I listed Fresh Romance #1 as my 5th favorite single issue of last year, and series garnered 4 nominations at the Autostraddle Comic Awards (for writers Kate Leth and Marguerite Bennett, colorist Amanda Scurti and Queer Couple Malie and Justine). It’s a terrific series featuring wonderfully romantic stories by some incredibly talented creators. I’ve been a huge supporter of Rosy Press’s romance comic anthology series Fresh Romance from the very beginning.
