What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Wrack & Rune is the queer fantasy romance you wish you had when you were a kid. Chris Kappel’s command of character and plot make it a delight to read, while Alex Arizmendi’s confident linework empowers each scene, pulling between huge action and smaller moments with grace.” – Josh Trujillo (writer Washington’s Gay General, Captain America)
“This charmer about the magic and heartbreak that happens when one is coming-of-age made me want to come of age all over again… Wrack & Rune pulls it all off in a truly enchanting fashion.” – Sina Grace (writer, Iceman, West Hollywood Monster Squad)
