Projects we like – with q***r voices in comics being banned and diverse communities being persecuted, we need to speak out now more than ever. Q***r trans comics creator Ezra Feliciano has created LIBERTAD, a comic based on the fear and impact ICE had on him, his family and his community. There are 2 days left to join his Kickstarter and get the first issue of his important story. The link is in the comments. Ezra will also be tabling at Los Angeles Comic Con October 30 – November 1.

Ezra writes: I’m an Afro-Latino trans man. I wrote and created the comic series Libertad, and Issue #1 is now available on Kickstarter! Libertad was created from growing up with the fear of ICE constantly attached to my family and community like a shadow. Even when you can’t see it, you know it’s there. I created Libertad because growing up, I needed a hero I could look up to the same way people look up to Spider-Man.

Libertad is inspired by All Might from My Hero Academia. All Might was the Symbol of Peace, and Libertad is the Symbol of Freedom. I made sure Libertad had Bantu knots because they’re a protective hairstyle, and she is a protector of freedom. Issue #1 is only the beginning, and I can’t wait to dive deeper into the world of Libertad and show you her human side.

Being a q***r creator, especially in this political climate, has been beyond scary. But I know representation matters, and I don’t see enough Black and Brown trans men in comics. I am here. My voice matters. My existence and my freedom to create will never be silenced by the fear others try to evoke.

The Kickstarter campaign for Four Seasons of Fear: A Year of Q***r Horror is live! Choose from backer rewards such as the sticker set, signed copy, signed collectible Blu-Ray of Theres a Zombie Outside, and, for the superbacker, the All the Chills and Thrills package!
