Today is the day!
Whoa! THE GIMMICK #1 is in stores TODAY! I started work on this book before the pandemic. I wrote the scripts years before I ever even pitched it to Ahoy. So to have it finally hit the stands, in full-color, brought to life by Elena Gogou’s fabulous art—WOW! I hope you’ll give it a shot.
If you’re still on the fence or just want to know more about the story, I did a TON of interviews recently.
Check out this one at Geek Vibes Nation, where I talk about the book and how my career led me to this particular story.
Or maybe this one at AIPT, where we get more into my love/hate relationship with the wrestling business.
Or check out what some comic review sites have to say about it!
“[This issue] artfully uses pro wrestling as a canvas for an interesting sci-fi premise about super power. By the end of this one, readers will be deeply enmeshed in an intriguing mystery, too. I highly recommend it.”—COMICS BEAT
“I’m always game for a new comic from AHOY, and this one sounds amazing.”—CASUAL COMICS GUY
“It is difficult to locate comic books based in the world of pro-wrestling that are both engaging and accurate, which makes Joanne Starer and Elena Gogou's The Gimmicksomething special.”—CONSKIPPER
Or, ya know, just run to the store and pick it up!
We’ll be back with new SIRENS OF THE CITY soon!
Congrads on getting published. Glad to see you are finding success in the comics.
Picked it up today. The book was really good, an interesting read.
I requested my lcbs include this in my pull. Looking forward to it!
