Big thanks to Kel and Matt for letting me take over their wonderful newsletter this past week to talk about Anzuelo đŸȘžđŸŒŠđŸȘŒ
Hello, Emma here. Most of you know me from PRETTY DEADLY. 
My new graphic novel, Anzuelo, is on sale from Image Comics next month and Kelly Sue has invited me here to tell you a little about it. I'll be heading to Thought Bubble after it's released.
Anzuelo is a love letter to the Sea. Toxic love born out of mesmerizing fear.
Originally, it was a classic sea-horror story on a boat, with a focus on the crew. While looking to understand how those tight spaces—12 people in a 29 meter long schooner—worked, I ended up sailing several times. The intimacy and deep sense of solitude in open waters were unexpected and fascinating...

Anzuelo opening (or teaser.)
It was fun to dream of it as an old anime, which was actually the original plan when I started working on this story.
Direction, animation and art by a blend of Luis Yang and yours truly. Music by Fingerspit
Animation magazine has covered a bit of the BTS of this short.
Here is also the full video up on the Image Comics yt channel
Hope you like it!!

Hey, I've been using this for fun and fanart but this time indulge me talking about some work I also did out of fun and love: Anzuelo.
Anzuelo is my new graphic novel, and so you have an idea, I started this in 2020. It took a fairly long chunk of my life.
The synopsis reads as follows:
"The Sea, secretly more complex than anyone imagined, rises one day. The horizon folds as the Sea absorbs the world and transforms everything that's been pulled inside it. Three kids find themselves unmoored and lost, but brought together by the physical and mental changes wrought by the tides and a desire to avoid harming any living creature.
A gorgeous and brutal story that revolts against the notion of violence as the only response to a life without hope."
It's a long environmental-horror book in which I tried to write a love letter to the Sea. 300+ pages all hand-drawn in watercolors.
I wrote and drew this alone, with the help of a couple of friends: David Brothers, editor of the book, and occasional therapist xd. And Luis Yang, who has assisted me cleaning the pages and was a big help preventing this to take forever. I wouldn't have made it without them.
Also big thanks to Image Comics for supporting me always and especially with this crazy project, and for their policies of freedom and decency when it comes to creators' rights.
Anzuelo will reach local comic stores on November 6. You can ask you LCS for it with this Lunar code until Oct 14: 0924IM243. It will also be on other independent stores etc... on November 19.
It will also be available across digital platforms.
If you're curious here's more info
It eve n got a Starred Review on Publishers Weekly already, you can find it through this link
Thanks for reading through this! I really hope you find the book interesting.

Hello, what is your stance on using your art for tattoos ? Aside from crediting you to the tattoo artist, of course. I've been thinking about getting your IBIS art from Armored Core 6 as a tattoo, but i wanted to check for myself if it was something you were okay with first
Hey, no problem at all. Go ahead if you like<3 Thanks for asking. I'm glad you like it,

trawling the ac6 tag and i am most TRAGICALLY late to your ac6 print sale- any chance they'll make a return in the future?
This was a thing I only wanted to keep for a very limited time, I'm afraid. Was there anything you specially wanted?

The three perfect things this year to keep me living much much more.
Armored Core VI Fires of Rubicon - From Software
I have a soft spot for games where “you” start so low: a corpse, an addict cop fell from grace, a drained bounty hunter sent to a planet alone to get her soul eaten by somehow gentle parasites. 
Armored Core 6 puts you in a body bag and promises to give you a meaning.
The game makes you feel in pain, both physically and mentally, yet you dance the fastest legs exquisitely, while the voices in your brain implants seem to notice you, to worry about you, to tell you you're an artist that can crave for even more.
You choose a how to see if you’re still here. And so, you fly high the miserable sky.
Tumblr media
The Boy and the Heron - Studio Ghibli
I’ve read a lot of words about The Boy and the Heron by this point, looking to praise it by finding hidden sources, mysterious meanings and cultural roots behind its attributed “unorthodox” narrative. But I doubt this given depth was THAT intentional.
Tumblr media
To me, this film might be the peak of Hayao Miyazaki’s philosophy for process and creation which is well known that doesn’t allow a glimpse of restraint. First and foremost, dealing with a canonical script.
A choice that brings freedom and obsession. A way to live, instead a way to create, to be the stories we tell ourselves. I strongly believe this is what the film exhales. Depth and meaning by making brilliant collaborators invested with the nurtured concepts in his brain. Depth and meaning by making us fall for the intense personality of such a hard work overall.
To grasp a gap in the system you have to be so bold. And I can't wait for what comes next.
A Guest in the House - Emily Carroll
As dear homie Sloane Leong says in her quote, a Guest in the House is a very sophisticated character study coded as a horror tale, with exquisite art, prose and pacing. 100% Emily’s trademark.
Personally, I still can't stop smiling at how it philosophically reads as an essay about evasion. On how skipping reality can be empowering and healing, and more than anything, romantic; even if, you know, it takes you to the grou
 Please don't mind me.
Tumblr media
Hide from hideous, grasp a glimpse of justice, make the self you want to be, legit. Toxic. The knight or the ghost. In Emily’s safe HUB, the guts spill into refined erotic scenarios that make the average the most dreadful place to be.
Anyway. You don't do a book on this scale alone, to save the day. The accurate craft still feels like a scream. It's the kind of work that saves the medium by making creators unsafe. Please consider reading it and support it. Emily’s writing truly is precious.
She also did a beautiful Bloodborne short out of love this year. For the fans!
