Description

Deprog is a new detective thriller from Tina Horn (SfSx) and Lisa Sterle (Witchblood) that’ s John Constantine meets Jessica Jones with a kinky Midsommar twist. Meet Tate Debs, a hardboiled hard drinking leather loving dyke detective with an office in the back of Los Angeles’ s last video store. Tate specializes in rescuing and deprogramming people from abusive groups with extreme beliefs — like the one Tate herself escaped, that believed in inter-dimensional travel and taboo ritual sex. When a femme named Vera, who may just be fatale, hires Tate to infiltrate a group of mystical hippies out in the desert, she must decide if Vera’ s charms are worth being re-traumatized. Soon, Tate must face her past out of devotion to the femme she may be falling for… and a single minded drive to avenge her family.

Advance Praise

PRAISE FOR DEPROG

“DEPROG #1 takes the best aspects of the hard-boiled detective narrative—memorable characters navigating intriguing conflicts—and injects a tantalizing dose of queer erotica that will leave you jonesing for more.” —Jeremy Holt, Made in Korea, Gatsby, What If?…Venom

PRAISE FOR SFSX

"Part-heist, part-fascist hellscape, and one hundred percent sexual revolution, SfSx is unlike any comic you've ever read—and you're going to want to pick up the trade paperback edition… effortlessly captures the feeling of this revolutionary and terrifying moment in time". — SyFy Wire

"Twists that could only show up in a 21st-century sci-fi story written by a queer sex worker…. SfSx is a crime thriller rooting for the criminals, an urgent reminder that the cyberpunk dystopia is already here." — Daily Dot

"Readers with a yen for third-wave feminist fury will find plenty to enjoy in these porn-friendly adventures." — Publisher’s Weekly

"An action adventure horror comic with didactic layers, Safe Sex feels deeply relevant." — LA Review of Books

"This story is from a sex worker’s perspective written by someone who has lived this life. The protagonists do go through hardships and trauma, but I appreciated the distinction (made) that the hardship doesn’t come from sex work on its own, but the stigma people in our society put on sex workers." — Jezebel

"A celebration of the way queer people, sex workers, and other sexual outsiders are always at the forefront of advancing our cultural ideas about sex and pleasure." — Teen Vogue

"If any comic-book lover thinks SFSX is a far-fetched dystopia, they haven’t been paying attention." — Playboy

"A timely, thoughtful meditation on sexuality, society, and freedom. A powerful mix of satire, theory, and great storytelling." —Adventures in Poor Taste

"SFSX radically vacillates between extreme pleasure and extreme pain." — CBR
