NYCC 2021: ‘She Bites’ Launches with Secret Variant Cover

There are blood-stained fliers posted somewhere on the streets of New York advertising a babysitting job for a very unique child. If fans find a flyer and answer the call – a job offer to babysit a 134-year-old vampire trapped in a 9-year-old’s body -- they will be rewarded with a super-secret limited-edition variant cover of the premiere issue of the comic She Bites written by Heather Hale for free.

She Bites (formerly known as Vampire’s Babysitter) was the Grand Prize Winner of the 2020 Script2Comic Contest, a unique screenplay contest where the winning scripts get made into comics series.  Scout Comics, one of the sponsors of the contest, is publishing She Bites which will release in February of 2022 through Lunar, Diamond and Simon & Schuster.  The book is written and lettered by creator Heather Hale, with art by Diigii Daguna.

It’s 1997 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. A 134-year-old vampire,  in the body of a 9-year-old girl, is squatting in a run-down basement apartment. She is Elsie Baker, and she can’t even buy her own cigarettes because adults won’t take her seriously. In order to move among the normal undetected, she must find a willing human to act as her babysitter.

Enter Brenda Zelinski, a depressed 18-year-old who was rejected from her dream college and is stuck in her hometown with no plans and no hope. All Brenda wants is a quick pay-day so she can afford to fly to Scotland and jump off a cliff to end her miserable life in grand fashion.

Together, these two lost souls form an unlikely friendship around their mutual disdain for literally everyone else.

Blood-stained ‘babysitter wanted’ advertisements will be posted around Javits center and near iconic local comic shops St. Mark’s in Brooklyn and Forbidden Planet near Union Square. Scavenger hunters can find these posters, pull the tab and call the number. If they listen to the message and then bring the tab to the Scout Comics Booth at NYCC (booth #2637 ) or St. Marks Comics/Forbidden Planet, they can receive a limited edition ash can featuring the first appearance of the characters for free. Interested applicants can follow @shebitescomic on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook for additional clues about where flyers can be found. A limited number of the secret ‘ash can’ will also be on sale at during the show at the Scout Comics Booth #2637 for fans not quite up for hunting down the flyer.

Heather Hale will be signing at the Scout Comics Booth #2637 at New York Comic-Con on Thursday, October 7th @ 2PM, Saturday October 9th@ 5 PM and Sunday October 10th @ 4 PM. She will also be appearing at St. Mark’s Comics @ 51 35th St in Brooklyn at 8 PM on Saturday October 9th  with other Scout creators including James Haick (The Mall, Solar Flare), David Byrne (Stake) and Don Handfield (Unikorn, The Mall, The Source).

Heartwood, Ed. Joamette Gil

Rating: Great Read Genre: Fantasy Representation: -Nonbinary protagonists -Protagonists of color -Neurodivergent protagonists -Mentally ill protagonists -Disabled protagonists Note: Heartwood does not contain sexual content. Trigger warnings: Heartwood contains a thorough list of trigger warnings in the back of the book; I don’t see a need to repeat any here as, in my judgement, the tone of the anthology skews upbeat.  I did not find any content that I would usually make a point to tag for.

I was blown away by how much I enjoyed Heartwood.  This anthology of nonbinary short comics was incredible; anthologies are a tricky beast, but Heartwood was everything I had hoped for.  Heartwood’s tagline is “Non-binary Tales of Sylvan Fantasy,” a pretty specific niche, but the artists and writers involved in the project absolutely hit the nail on the head.  Definitely keep an eye out for what Power & Magic Press (helmed by editor Joamette Gil) publishes in the future.

So, how do nonbinary artists tackle fae, earth-magic, and similar?  There is no one answer.  Some contributors, like Z. Akhmetova (“The Biggest Dog You’ve Ever Seen”), Diigii Daguna (“Ilaw”), and Polly Guo (“Dear Paloma”) take a more folkloric approach.  For example, “The Biggest Dog You’ve Ever Seen” tells of how giant footsteps form the earth, and giant tears form the rivers.  “Ilaw”, too, takes inspiration from folklore; “Ilaw” is about returning a mischievous escaped fire to the mouth of a dragon, and overcoming one’s fear of fire in the process.  “Dear Paloma” is more inspired by the structure of fairy tales; the traveling Paloma meets strangers on their journey who make demands of them in an environment that follows the rules of folkloric storytelling rather than the rules of realism.

Other contributors place their protagonists in a world more in the vein of fantasy/magical realism; they are hedge-witches, “magical girl” style defenders of order, and arborists studying the magical aura of trees.  Others exist on the line of science fiction and fantasy, as in “The Lungs of Jeju” by Sunmi.  In this story, the protagonist and an android compare their experiences escaping from a pre-programmed gendered existence.

Yet there are still more glorious interpretations of the subject, each of them unique.  In some Heartwood stories, ordinary people stumble into magic which tells them more about themselves, or gives them the skills to cope - or sometimes the protagonist gives the fae the skills to cope, instead.  I was so inspired by Heartwood; all of the stories had something to bring to the table, and I am sure that a few will sit with me and continue to inform my own understanding of what a story can be.  I know I will remember “Shuvah (Return)” by Ezra Rose and Jey Barnes, a story about a Jewish child running from the gendered expectations of coming of age in Judaism; they spend sukkot with “malachim, sheydim, spirits, fairies,” finding comfort in a transformation of faith, not an escape from it.  “No Vacancy” by Xanthe Bouma was also a favorite; two siblings return to the cabin they always spent the summer in with their now-deceased mother; unexpected fairy guests are able to transform sorrow and loss into joy.

While I can point to one story here or there that spoke to me, in truth, all the contributors were up to par.  I was pleasantly surprised to find that some stories were about being nonbinary (such as “Shuvah (Return)”) while others were about nonbinary characters leading stories about other topics (like “No Vacancy”) - and all were executed with grace.

I do not usually enjoy anthologies as much as I want to; there is usually something missing, whether the artists and writers aren’t used to writing short-form and try to cram a novel-length plot into ten pages, or the editing team is so short on submissions that they include stories that don’t really meet the theme, or aren’t quite up to the quality one expects of published work.  I was pleasantly surprised that Heartwood had none of these problems.  If you hesitate to buy anthologies for the same reasons I do, I ask that you make an exception for Heartwood and give it a try.  You won’t be disappointed.
