An Interview with Comics Writer James Wayne Johnson

James Wayne Johnson is the writer (and comedian!) behind “Bloom Squad,” an ongoing graphic novel about superpowers and the havoc they can wreak on a population when they’re kept quiet. Part 1 of the story appears in Oneshi Press Anthology #09—the Justice Anthologywith art by Marcelo Salaza.

About the New Pages

#gallery-0-9 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-9 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 20%; } #gallery-0-9 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-9 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

The twelve new pages from writer Lynsey G., artist Jayel Draco, and letterer Cardinal Rae go deep. After rescuing several young women from the clutches of my grandfather’s gang, I let them hang out at my place for a while. Then I sent them all on their way. Most decided to head home, but one asked me to go to Los Angeles. I didn’t find out until much later why she’d chosen that city…but you’ll discover her reasons when you read these new pages. You’ll also watch as I make the leap from solo cam work to partnered sex on camera. It was a huge moment for me, and after realizing how much I loved it…I never looked back.

Get all the art (plus hilariously clever “censorship bars” to protect the tender eyes of the reading public from nipples and butt cracks) and the whole story in the Justice Anthology! And keep your eyes on this space for Tracy Queen V2: Dangerous Experiments, which is coming soon!

Starting with stunning cover art by Shadowind, the anthology kicks off with a frothy, eye-opening introduction by Sonne.

Then, the last installment of Tracy Queen, Volume 2 starts sensually with writing from Lynsey G. and art from Jayel Draco. Next, Brendan Rowe and Fabio Ramacci show us a dating world where singles get satisfaction—or their  money back—in “On a Thing”! We then return to the adventures of “Gabrielle,” where Erica Schultz and Jan Velazquez deliver divine retribution to the boss in a “Sweatshop.” And then, in “The Witch’s Justice” by Nachiket Naik and Jacob Fleming, magical comeuppance applies to everyone, no matter how powerful. After that, a sweet tale of inclusive love and adventure concludes with “Detour, Part 2” from Allison Bannister and Tom O’Brien. In “The Berbackus,” Chris Lackie and Sean Bova weave a tale of cryptid correction.

Then, “Ziegler Box” from Chaka Brown Freeman, Vicente Alcázar, Greg Gallagher, and Nouri Zander takes us down a sinister path where unquenchable thirst is no accident. “Trinkets,” a Children of Gaia tale from Lynsey G. and Eldkrind, introduces readers to magical kids who take on bullies. Next, in “Bloom Squad” by James Wayne Johnson and Marcelo Salaza, finding justice means seeking understanding—even of one’s own superpowers. Then, enter the world of Vigilante 2890 in “Junction” from Kael McDonald and Jacey Chase, where the consequences of injustice are weighed against the consequences of revenge. Finally, the dogs of the PACK watch gentrification encroach in PACK #3: Temperance, 3.2 from Lynsey G. and Jayel Draco.
