Comic fan’s favorite queer rom-com roadtrip is back for volume two in 2023! A Thing Called Truth Vol.2: Drive Home reunites writer Iolanda Zanfardino and artist Elisa Romboli to conclude the raucous love story of Magdalene and Dorian that debuted as a 5 issue miniseries from Image Comics in 2021. The new story arc will be offered as a complete graphic novel through Kickstarter. The campaign funding page can be found here.
Fans will have an opportunity to fund the campaign by pledging towards both PDF and physical copies of Volume two as well as items such as door knockers, art prints, signed original book art, and even a cameo in the book. The campaign also includes the opportunity to add copies of Volume one to the pledge for fans who need to catch up. Specially priced retailer tiers will be available for comic and book shops to be able to carry this book in person.
“A Thing Called Truth – exuberant, kinetic, heartfelt and fun – the start of a roadtrip you won’t want to miss.” -Scott Snyder (Batman, Swamp Thing, American Vampire)
“A Thing Called Truth is another homerun for the dynamic duo of Zanfardino and
Romboli. Funny and melancholy, taps into some emotional depth with a burgeoning sense of hope and joy. We could always use more of that.” -Hank Rea, Lotusland Comics
“A Thing Called Truth is doing romantic comedy better than Hollywood.” -Trevor Van As, How to Love Comics
“A Thing Called Truth is a soul searching story about finding the balance between devoting yourself fully to a goal and being able to enjoy life with no regrets. About the dream of leaving your mark on the world. About the reasons for yearning to go far away—and those that will take you back home,” said Zanfardino and Romboli. “It’s about how you can’t keep running forever, but facing the world gets easier when you find out you’re not alone anymore.”
What happened with the medical advancement Dr. Magdalene “Mag” Träumer was working on before it was stripped away from her by her unscrupulous former employer? Will her estranged husband’s search for her lead to complications with the law? Will Dorian Wildfang’s Quixote-like quest to fulfill her brother’s posthumous wishes come to pass?
