Hey! I'm cAPSLOCK, and I write and draw Tailslide, which is a sci-fi action-adventure comic featuring:
Mad Science Shenanigans
Jesse Lee (alias 'Kestrel') is a rookie agent working for the deep-state agency trying to keep mad science from destroying the world. It’s a job he got, and has kept, by keeping his own mad-science impulses more-or-less under control. Until something goes wrong on a routine mission - suddenly, that plan isn’t working out too well.
Secret Agent Drama
In the meantime, the most dangerous mad science creations, and their creators, have been disappearing without a trace, and no one knows why. This is attracting a lot of attention - including from a secret group with a scheme to overtake consensus reality (And one of its members, specifically, with a personal bone to pick).
New-Adult Angst
Tailslide features 20-somethings who are, largely, NOT having a good time in their first jobs, and the ‘real’ adults who don’t know how to deal with them, alongside:
complicated quasi-parental relationships
contention about queerness, ‘passing’, and conformity
ill-advised romantic tension
some *really* poor life coaching
and plenty of existential angst over how to save the world, when no one can agree on what's worth saving in it.
If that sounds like your kind of thing, you can read the (ongoing!) comic here!
Some miscellaneous postscripts:
Tailslide is set medium-loosely in the Genius: The Transgression universe. Even more specifically, most of the main cast came from a G:TT LARP my friends wrote and/or played in back in 2019. You don’t need to know anything about either of those things to enjoy the comic, but if that’s a selling point, now you know!
It would probably get a PG-13 rating from the MPAA.
I love drawing mechanical things, and designing the mad science (and other) devices is one of my favorite parts of making the comic. I sometimes post behind-the-scenes notes on the designs (and also goofy one-off bonus comics).
If you want more comic recs, the website has a link page with some that I try to update every few months!
