Description
Rotten Roses No. 2 by April Malig is the second in the comic strip series about fujos navigating existential crises and society while being obsessed with fictional hot anime boys kissing. This issue irreverently embraces and destigmatizes horniness and the enjoyment of fanfic; and then goes beyond that, staking a political stance of fanfic as carving out space against heteronormativity and white supremacy.
April’s experimentation with comics is so strong in this issue. In addition to her colorful hand-drawn comics, April mixes in screen shots, and typed-out interviews that are then referenced or foreshadowed in other parts of the zine! The result is a full engaged reading experience that is truly delightful.
This issue features guest art by Saicoink, Jammo, Kori, Sunmi, Helsey, Kou, and Aatmaja.
