Greasebats
This oversized collection of Archie Bongiovanni’s hit webcomic, previously seen on the Autostraddle Saturday Morning Cartoons series, features brand-new stories only available here, making it a must-have for fans and new readers alike.
GREASE BATS follows the daily adventures of two best friends — Andy, a trans genderqueer individual who is both tough and loving, and their BFF Scout, an all-feelings-all-the-time mistake-maker — as they navigate friendships, roommates, and romances within their community. From sexcapades gone awry to the meaning of tarot and the realities of finding your place within queer spaces, these stories use wry humor to show that being queer comes from the heart! And the head! And occasionally sometimes the groin!
“GREASE BATS is rooted in emotional honesty and a very real portrayal of some of the ins and outs of being queer,” said Shannon Watters, Editor, BOOM! Studios. “And Archie is such a dynamic and hilarious cartoonist that it’s hard not to identify with Andy and Scout as they make their way through their various misadventures in love and life.”
Think Dykes To Watch Out For in the current age with Tinder or Sex And The City but gay and actually good.
"In a world where Archie Comics gets an avalanche of good press for acknowledging that gay men exist, Archie Bongiovanni is doing the real work of portraying queer besties and their daily struggles. The emotional range of the strips is great, from small, everyday worries (combating summer funk by perfecting your chair dance routine) to the wider concerns of queer culture (like the straight gentrification of queer events). There’s also the ever-present concern over romance, crushing, and Tinder-swiping.
Bongiovanni’s scratchy line is perfect for protagonists Scout and Andy’s adventures, from stoopin in the sunshine to drunkenly stumbling through a club, and I love the recent dips into spot coloring to highlight lovingly embroidered butts and last-minute jelly bean costumes."
