Thanks for the love on the comic so far you guys!

I’m going to turn on questions on my profile so I can answer any questions you guys might have pertaining to anything! As for questions about the comic I will do my best to answer questions without revealing too much of the story that hasn’t been released yet.

Just started drawing and apparently Bakugo was on my mind. Still practicing body image and hands but making steady progress!

So without further ado, here are some of the best audio clips from our award-winning short story writers. Scroll down to listen to excerpts from eight of our favorite collections:

DROWN by Junot Díaz

“Tell her that you love her hair, that you love her skin, her lips, because, in truth, you love them more than you love your own.”

WHAT IT MEANS WHEN A MAN FALLS FROM THE SKY by Lesley Nneka Arimah

“When Enebeli Okwara sent his girl out in the world, he did not know what the world did to daughters. He did not know how quickly it would wick the dew off her, how she would be returned to him hollowed out, relieved of her better parts.”

PILGRIMS by Elizabeth Gilbert

“She was no dancer and she didn’t want to dance with me, but we found a good slow sway anyway, each of us with an arm hanging down, like a rodeo cowboy’s right arm, like the right arm of a bull rider, not reaching for anything.”

AWAYLAND by Ramona Ausubel

“What are you doing?“ the mother asked. "I guess I’m throwing roses,” the girl said, unable to make sense of herself.”

DEVOTION by Maile Meloy

“Eleanor had never bought a house before and the real estate broker had the air of an authoritative and impatient aunt, waiting for a decision. She tapped long nails on the steering wheel of her parked Lexus while Eleanor gazed at the little house from the passenger seat. The sycamore in the yard had good roots, the broker said.”

FIVE-CARAT SOUL by James McBride

“I am a lion. I live in a zoo. But I was once a free lion, and never forgot it.”

HALL OF SMALL MAMMALS by Thomas Pierce

“Inside every group, he decides, there are more groups. Circles within circles, and inside of those, more circles still, all of them infinitely divisible. You could spend your whole life wondering which ones you’re in and which ones you’re not and which ones really want you and which ones are holes that have no bottom.”

THE BUS DRIVER WHO WANTED TO BE GOD by Etgar Keret

“There are two kinds of people, those who like to sleep next to the wall, and those who like to sleep next to the people who push them off the bed.”
