Godblind by Anna Stephens (Godblind #1)

The Mireces worship the bloodthirsty Red Gods. Exiled from Rilpor a thousand years ago, and left to suffer a harsh life in the cold mountains, a new Mireces king now plots an invasion of Rilpor’s thriving cities and fertile earth. Dom Templeson is a Watcher, a civilian warrior guarding Rilpor’s border. He is also the most powerful seer in generations, plagued with visions and prophecies. His people are devoted followers of the god of light and life, but Dom harbors deep secrets, which threaten to be exposed when Rillirin, an escaped Mireces slave, stumbles broken and bleeding into his village. Meanwhile, more and more of Rilpor’s most powerful figures are turning to the dark rituals and bloody sacrifices of the Red Gods, including the prince, who plots to wrest the throne from his dying father in the heart of the kingdom. Can Rillirin, with her inside knowledge of the Red Gods and her shocking ties to the Mireces King, help Rilpor win the coming war? CONTRIBUTOR(S): Jean Ann Dougla...

Strawberry Milkshake by Cate Wurtz

Strawberry Milkshake is a short and evocative comic about gaslighting, domestic abuse, and the ways that not being believed can warp your sense of reality.

The framing between sections had this strange tonal dissonance with the rest of the comic in a way that built a sense of dread even before it was clear what’s going on. The drawing style (especially the way certain characters’ images warped) was great and made it very clear what was happening while also keeping explicit violence to the minimum required to still convey the story.

CW for gaslighting, body horror, blood, self harm, domestic abuse.
