This comes as Alex De Campi is nominated for an Eisner Award for Best Graphic Album – New for Parasocial, with Erica Henderson. De Campi wrote back then"It has oddly been a lot of fun (but a BUNCH of work) to take a book written / drawn for print (it has a publisher, obvs) and re-lay it out for Webtoon / Tapas. It's a fascinating design exercise? The biggest thing I learned is sometimes you need panels like this, FOR PACING."

If only every answer could be delivered so concisely. Reversal by Alex De Campi, Skylar Patridge and Kelly Fitzpatrick will be published by Dark Horse Comics for March 2025.

"Two years ago, magic suddenly, violently became a thing again.  Now, Tré Grant is just doing her best to survive sixth grade, which is a little more real than it used to be thanks to the monsters that regularly emerge from the nearby forest to attack her city. But when she discovers a magical artifact that could be the key to lifting the curse on the forest, Tré accidentally becomes the hero the city needs, even if she's not the one it expects. A contemporary fantasy/action-adventure story from Eisner-nominated writer Alex de Campi, and artists Skylar Patridge and Kelly Fitzpatrick."
