Wild Rose By Karina Moreno

Wild Rose is about marginalized groups in a fantasy like 1001 Nights (but inspired by specific parts of Western, Central, and Southern Asia), starring women, LGBTQIA+ characters, women of color, and themes that normally don’t get the spotlight in comics. Nastaran, a hot-headed warrior out for blood, will need to find a way to heal internally with the help of Layla, a wise-for-her-age 15 year old girl. The theme is to depend on love, friendship, and family in difficult times.

Imagine that life gives you a second chance. But instead of restarting everything normally, you're reborn with supernatural abilities. Launched in 2015, Anarchy Dreamers is an urban fantasy webcomic, praised for its "soft goth, pastel punk" art, mysterious narrative, and extensive world building.

In the aftermath of a mysterious tragedy, the students of Sacred Heart High just want things to go back to normal. But their Nightmares, reality warping monsters created from fears, problems, and trauma, are wreaking havoc on the school community, making a normal life impossible. Students are taking Nightmare fighting into their own hands, even at the risk of expulsion or arrest.

As the infestation grows, the God of Dreams reaches out to 6 students for assistance, promising to help them solve the mystery of their deaths as long as they keep fighting the monsters---

But will they be strong enough to face their own worst Nightmares?
