Some fun abandoned concepts for a book pitch :) i fucking swear one of these days i'll have to put my computer in order, it's loaded with concepts XD Šejić takes on the Bat and Cat in his pitch. Sunstone Volume 1 by Stjepan Sejic, Stjepan Sejic (Artist) 5.0 (3) Paperback (Not Appropriate For Children) 14.99 Paperback 14.99 eBook 10. His other series mentioned here, Fine Print and The Queen and the Woodborn, are similar to Sunstone in that Šejić releases them as webcomics before taking them to print.įor those Harleen fans hungry for more Gotham work from Stjepan Šejić, he shared an intriguing look at some unseen artwork from what he calls an abandoned pitch. As with earlier volumes in the series, eji has released them online in unedited, but partially censored form. Stjepan Šejić previously posted that Sunstone would run for fourteen issues, making this upcoming seventh volume the halfway mark for those reading in trade paperback. I embrace this story because it works toward building an understanding in misrepresented cultures-both the comics fandom and the BDSM community.Starting off with sunstone volume 7 and later on sunstone books 1 and 2 hardcovers reprintsĪfter that fine print volume 1, and maybe even a surprise appearance of the queen and the woodborn 1 by the end of the year.Īlso ignore the unfinished nature of the fine print cover, i'm reworking it Sunstone cover by Stjepan Šejić: Twitter Sunstone isn’t something to shun, it something we should embrace. There are some times, though, that the excess in narrative boxes overwhelms the eyes and distracts from his expressive illustration-it isn’t completely necessary to guide the reader by the hand. Sejic points out how easily we confine ourselves to that unique, wholly human characteristic: Shame.

Sometimes character insight here comes across as a confessional booth, but reading how Ally steadily immersed herself into the role of a domme is so natural, and even tragic at points. Sunstone tackles sexuality and the BDSM culture with conviction, but rather than preachy, Sejic scribes something nurturing and feels more like a self-aware and confident erotica novel walking into comic book convention.The dialogue between Alan and Chris at the Crimson speaks volumes about modern culture’s hang-ups about sexual experimentation while balancing it with maturity and relevance. We forget sometimes that, ultimately, we’re all just searching for someone or something to scratch that itch. It’s weird to me because it’s a basic human function. Sex is a strange subject in the United States-bordering on taboo.
