Issue Description

It's the triumphant debut of the ongoing, full-color adventures of comics' original female archaeologist/explorer! Join Gina Diggers and her lycanthrope sister, Cheetah, in a whirlpool of action and excitement as they dive to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean in search of Muthia - a fabled floating city that sank 4,000 years ago. Treasure and ancient secrets await, but it won't be easy getting them. Not only is Lord "Peewee" Talon hot on Gina's trail with a sub full of goons, not only is the mysterious shape-shifter Taur lurking in the sunken ruins... but Cheetah forgot to "go" before getting in the submarine!

Volume Description

Gold Digger is a series about Gina Diggers (a brainy and nerdy archeologist), her adopted sister Brittany/Cheetah (a were-cheetah), and Brianna (a hybrid clone of Gina and Cheetah). Their dad is an arch mage and their mom is a weapons master from a high fantasy realm called Jade. Their lives are... interesting to say the least.

The series is an action/adventure comic with a mashup of fantasy, sci-fi, and superhero, and the ensemble cast includes rival archeologists, mad scientists, aliens, cyborgs, golems, dragons, ninjas, leprechauns, pirates, ninja leprechauns, ninja leprechaun pirates, lycanthropes, a super intelligent evil dog, etc. The comic makes extensive references to geek pop-culture, often in interesting and/or amusing combinations.

The comic has tons of action, comedy, and isn't shy about the cheesecake, or beefcake for that matter. It's been written and drawn by the same creator since issue #1, so the writing is consistent throughout the series and the characters grow and develop over a long time unlike many western comics where it feels like you're reading a different book every time the artist/writer team swaps out.
