Thought you might like to check out a couple of pages for Equinox the graphic novel that's taking FOREVER to finish :) Here we have Scorn praying for vengeance (by the lovely Shanna Beauchamp) and Grace trying not to mourn ( by the also lovely Angie Light)!

I tell how she adapted and changed as the Earth and her environments altered. She becomes a mitochondrial eve of sorts. I really wanted to tell how adaptation gave us different skin color and stuff. All those physical things we pretend is race, and judge each other on, when it's really just adaptation.

We spread up through the Middle...
