Issue Description

Julia reveals that she lost her title as "Armsmaster of Jade" while dueling G'nolga in the Tournament of Arms. As the new Armsmaster, Gnolga invoked authority over all master fighters of Jade and declared Julia an enemy of the realm ? a loophole clause in the Armsmaster codex which G'nolga exploited and all master fighters must obey. Julia's family and friends on Jade were all arrested and imprisoned, and Julia was forced to flee from the realm in disgrace. Now she has finished healing and is ready to challenge G'nolga for the title of Armsmaster, rescue her loved ones and save Jade from Gnolga's tyranny! But first she must find her old teacher, Master Leepe, and seek his advice!

The Diggers sisters have all gathered home from their separate adventures. Britanny may have failed so far, but Gina is all ready to start her next quest. Before anything can happen their mother, Julia, appears. She shares with them the tale of how she lost her title of Arms Master, and her plan to reclaim it. It's going to be...groovy.

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.
