No better way to celebrate Valentine’s Day than by giving your special someone a little Venus Rises 😉

Just got the alternate covers in for Venus Rises: Crossroads and decided to try out this new rainbow-like shine from the printer.
Honestly, the pics don’t even come close to doing it justice... it shifts and shimmers in the light like something straight out of sci-fi. I’m kinda geeking out over it.
Digging through the archives and found this throwback... an interview I did with Indigo Comics back around the time of my very first Kickstarter campaign.
Crazy to look back and see how far Venus Rises has come since then.
