NEW: Feast of My Flesh #1 "The Subject of So Much of Your Fear: The Horror of Body and Blood"
The Multi-Part Perzine continues with a fall issue! Also: Sequential Theology Returns!
Howdy friends and enemies!
This blog is often dormant but now I can finally present a Double Whammy: The second issue of my autobiographical comics series (technically a “perzine” or personal zine) is now live on Itch.io. For those not in th loop, we started in February with Issue #0: “Feast of My Flesh: Resurrection of the Body, Transfeminine Emergence, and Holy Ghosts.” It can be downloaded and read for free HERE!
Sample Pages
This is among my most personal projects to date. I started this in 2023 as a way to process my coinciding transfeminine gender transition and religious conversion. Both deeply personal and political, I hope that through this 100-page project of graphic memoir, I may offer something to the worlding-endeavor of trans anarchist theology as I complete it over the next two years.
This issue centers on my investigation of perspectives on embodiment within Christendom and their limits, and the subversive carnivalesque enfleshment that Flannery O'Connor deploys in her story A Temple of the Holy Ghost.

New Sequential Theology! ft. Alba Onofrio, a.k.a. Reverend Sex
We discussed the intersection between affirming liberating theologies, fighting purity culture, and consensual engagement with scripture. You can find a censored version here: https://justiceunbound.org/sequential-theology-2/
Sample Pages:
This comic contains NSFW content of a sexual, though educational nature. Viewer discretion is advised.
Fun fact, UNBOUND (my official publisher) said the NSFW page couldn't be published on their site due to their affiliation with the PCUSA, so the full thing is available on my personal website. Read it and the other installments of SQ HERE!
Other Stuff Happening Lately
Additionally, I have begun tabling my comics and zines! My first event was for Palestine Hurra Collective’s fundraiser, where 100% of the proceeds went to the food distro mutual aid project called Southern Solidarity which they’ve been cooking up this summer! You can see pictures of the setup below, as well as read about the mission of this org. I really believe in this project and want to see it grow, so find the links to donate here: Southern Solidarity Donate link
As ever, thank you for reading and God Bless!
Sincerely,
