Queer gamers write a queer graphic novel about queer gamers: Renegade Rule

"One of the goals of Renegade Rule was to present a book and world that allows for queer joy" - Ben Kahn "The closer it is to trope-y fan fiction the more I like it"  - Rachel Silverstein Meet the writers of a new original graphic novel published by Dark Horse, Renegade Rule! "The Manhattan Mist have beaten the odds to land themselves in the national championships for Renegade Rule, one of the hottest virtual reality games in existence. But they're in for competition fiercer then they ever imagined, and one team member's entire future could be at stake. Four queer female friends will have to play harder than ever against self-doubt, infighting, romantic distraction, and a slew of other world-class teams if they hope to become champions. From Ignatz-nominated writer Ben Kahn, debut author Rachel Silverstein, and artist Sam Beck is a celebration of friendship, competition, queer identity, and the insane things we do for the things and people we love." Rachel Silverstein is a recent law school graduate. Renegade Rule is her first comic book publication. She also has a Master's degree in elephant paleontology. https://twitter.com/flirtymango Ben Kahn is an Ignatz Award-nominated comics writer.
