442, the digital graphic novel I wrote with Phinny Kiyomura , illustrated in cool watercolor by Rob Sato , will soon be out on the Stela app — it’s presently just for iPhone, but will soon be on Android, too).
If you download the app — which is free — you can view the preview of our first episode. I don’t know the exact date that the series starts its full run, but it should be soon-ish.
It’s fun stuff!
