My name is Ave. It's not my given name, but it's my name now. I'm a male-to-female transsexual and have a passion for writing. Superheroes have always interested me, from when I was a little kid, and so it was obvious that Karabear would be superhero comics.

This isn't to say I haven't tried other genres. At one time I tried writing and drawing my own webcomic, and it was a realistic, humorous piece. It was terrible, and I stopped doing it (not because of the quality--I just developed massive artist's block and never returned to it after a couple years passed). Superheroes just hold more interest to me.

I hope people from all walks of life enjoy the Karabear Comics experience. As well, I hope artists and writers from all genres join me in this endeavor. But Karabear is aimed primarily towards the LGBT community, to give them more heroes (though I do try and keep plenty of straight cisgender heroes, too). It's a colorful group of comics and hope to see it rich with all the possibility it can bring.

My Favorite (non-Karabear) Superheroes

 * Artie Maddicks (Marvel Comics) - A loveable mute illusion-caster who has sadly been depowered.
 * Coagula (Kate Godwin) (DC Comics) - The first (prominent, at least) transsexual superhero. Sadly dead.
 * Suravi (Suravi Small) (Pride Comics) - She's gorgeous and she can beat you physically and intellectually.
 * Mindmistress - A webcomic character who will be smarter than you, even if you're Stephen Hawking times Brainiac. And she'll snark her way through the intellectual one-upmanship.

Outside links

 * Karabear Comics (you should know this one)
 * Comfortably Numb (my webcomic mentioned above, if you're curious)
