Wow, would I love to purchase this for my library.

The Adult GN section is a regular target for censors in this very conservative area; I would love to include more quality inspirational GNs to help diversify my collection.

If you do get in touch with the publishers, let them know that the library market is interested!

DeBT–just put cancer vixen on hold through my local library. Thanks for the suggestion!

Cancer Vixen also had a surprisingly high count of positive portrayals of Christians giving an outpouring amount of support towards the protagonist. Would that there be more portrayals of Christians like these than the overbombastic ones we’re so familiar with.

Blog. Not blot–damned auto correct!

And it is that diversity–presented in an even handed, non-judgemental way–that keeps me coming back to this blot. I would say that our comic reading worlds intersect a minimal amount, but I always appreciate your perspective on all things, even when I don’t agree. I enjoy conversations and differing perspective and this site gives me just that–plus I probably wouldn’t have read Faith Erin Hicks, Scott Chantler, or Thom Zahler without your diversity. I just wanted you to know that I may not always agree, but I usually do appreciate.

BTW, my library system has a different work my Ms. Lia, so I will check that out and hope Please God…shows up as well. Thanks.

I am to be diverse and inclusive. If I cover porn occasionally, I should also write about the more spiritual material. For balance. :)

Argo, I don’t know if there are plans to put the book out over here — I get the impression the artist is better known in the UK than here. I’d ask the publisher, but they’re all off for the Diamond Jubilee.

Thank you for including reviews of spiritual comics as well as comics for children. There is a market for both. (I’m one of them!)

Wow! This sounds fascinating. I love stories where people have faith / a religious belief system and they are real people–not charicatures. Will this be released to the US soon? Thanks for the spotlight!
