comic strip for "the fight" magazine

     So I've been advertising in "the Fight" magazine, a gay and lesbian free magazine that strives to be a quality above the usual rag. I like it, the politics of the mag are spot on, and the look of the thing makes it look like it costs money, yet it is free. It is a good read while being something your mom could look at.
Anyways, they had asked me to develop a comic strip to serialize in the magazine, the first installment in November's issue.

Now there is an MMA magazine called "Fight", but don't get them confused. It does get confusing, especially
since I decided to go with a story idea I'd had for a while dealing with a gay Mixed Martial Artist who'd grown up in a home full of domestic violence and how that affects him as a person, fighter, and partner.

Above is the finished piece. At least until I though... wait! They did not say it has to be B&W! So I colored it.

My partner Daniel has been acting as my editor on this. Thanks, baby!
