The Author Immortal
Comic - Fantasy
A queer, literary fantasy about the stories that shape us—and what happens when we outgrow them. Hector Ramirez dreamed of changing the world with words. Years later, he’s given one last chance: to help reboot the fantasy series that shaped his childhood. But when he discovers the author has vanished into his own creation, Hector is pulled into a realm built from fiction and ruled by a story that refuses to end. He’s not alone. Along for the journey is Al, his nonbinary teen child searching for their place in both the real world and the story that now threatens to consume them. Alethea, once the series’ bright young mage heroine, also fights alongside them as a battle-worn warrior, questioning whether she still belongs to the story she was created to serve. Together, they must uncover the forces tearing this world apart and what it means to live inside a story that no longer wants you. As fiction and reality collide, Hector, Al, and Alethea face a painful truth: to move forward, they’ll have to confront the very story that made them.

For his entire life, Rory has been given control over a world of awe-inspiring wonders — telekinesis, shape-shifting, teleportation, advanced healing, even time travel. Everything is possible thanks to his family’s enchanted bloodline and an ancient language passed down through generations. Rory’s life is full of miracles. But he’s not happy.
Because Rory’s world is also a world of secrets. Translators hide in the shadows, keeping their power from the world around them. Rory struggles in this secrecy, sneaking out of his family’s hidden highrise apartment to blend into the wonderfully normal streets and peoples of New York City.
After sneaking out one night, Rory meets Tyson, an Outsider, who knows nothing about the Translators or their gifts. Soon, the two young men are falling in love…but this idyllic romance starts to fall apart once Rory reveals his magical origins. Tyson raises a question–one that Rory has never considered and now must contend with–why keep magic secret, when so many people could be helped by it? The truth–and terrible danger–soon follows.
