Description
Agent Jesse Lee (alias Kestrel) is Inspired - afflicted with a condition that gives you the power to build wonderful, impossible things… at the cost of your sanity. It’s all-consuming, and it’s permanent. But Lee’s found a unique way of dealing with it - He works for a deep-state government agency, where along with his partner (or handler), senior agent Bruce Altmann, they help track down and neutralize any of the doomsday devices, temporal anomalies, Elvis re-animation schemes, or what-have-yous posing this week’s threat to national security.
For two years, things have been great. But when a routine mission goes south, and Lee’s "condition" starts to visibly, dangerously, deteriorate, the agency separates the pair indefinitely, forcing each to reckon with their role in the other’s life. And in the meantime, the most dangerous devices and schemes they’ve been tracking have started to vanish without a trace - and no one seems to know why.
Tailslide is a (free, ongoing) sci-fi action-adventure comic about identity, responsibility, and maybe getting fired from your top secret government job! It features loads of queer characters, mad science shenanigans, complicated quasi-parental relationships, and existential dread over whether it’s even possible to save the world before everyone else can destroy it.
The story so far is available to read at tailslide-comic.com. I'm currently in the process of editing dialogue and relettering the existing pages to make them more readable - as I do that, I'll mirror them here!
