Its two heroes criss-crossing to defend not just their love, but all of our loves, and all of our history. And god help anyone who tries to get in their way and erase it!”

Sainted Love is a steamy time touring journey collection, equal elements romance and science fiction as two heroes combat for his or her love whereas journeying throughout centuries of historical past. It’s attractive, it is thrilling, it is fast-paced. It’s a homosexual romance that sees queer heroes turns into legends themselves as they discover and journey by means of iconic occasions in queer historical past, from the fervour of homosexual saints Sergius and Bacchusto to the Lavender Mafia of the Nineteen Seventies, and in between. Irina and Wolf first assume they should return house, however they quickly understand that their actual calling is elsewhere in time, to locations the place they’re free to like and exists as who they’re and eras that desperately want their assist.

“Sainted Love is the dream project I didn’t know I needed to work on” provides Giopota. “This is only my first job ever for the US market and it’s great that I’m having the opportunity to collaborate with a seasoned professional like Steve.

Working with Vault Comics, a publisher so attentive to LGBTQIA+ issues makes me really proud, as my commitment to telling queer stories is the engine that drives me to pursue this career. I think the readers will be very entertained by this story, both for the twists and for the more romantic and even spicy scenes.”

“Steve and I have been talking about working together for years. Eventually, I realized that what I wanted from him was a story that focused on the details he’s managed to capture throughout his career, but which publishers have not always given the spotlight” says Vault’s Co-founder and Editor-in-Chief Adrian Wassel. I wished twisted up romances and sophisticated friendships, expansive and creative settings, and homosexual characters entrance and heart. Once I made myself clear, Steve pitched Sainted Love. Then Giopota got here aboard, bringing the heat and pleasure of Miyazaki to our story—and right here we’re. Our purpose is easy: we wish Sainted Love to be essentially the most wildly enjoyable and gayest comedian we have ever made, particularly now, in a second when the ALA is reporting unparalleled numbers of e-book challenges and requires censorship. And we might like to indicate the world what we all know, deep down in our bones: readers need authentic tales with heroes like Irina and Wolf on the helm.”

Vault Comics Managing Editor Der-shing Helmer provides “It is impossible to separate comics from queerness, and watching Sainted Love proudly add its voice to the chorus has been an absolute joy. I’m incredibly proud of what the team has accomplished with Sainted Love, and excited to share their vision with the world!”
