Issue Description

New look! New beginning! New characters! New adventures! Everything is ALL-NEW starting with this issue! If you've ever thought about reading Gold Digger, this is the jumping-on point you've been waiting for! The next hundred issues start here!!!

A wonder of the ancient world is discovered in the Sonoran Desert of Baja California -- an entire city, buried and chained to the very bedrock of the desert's floor, straining eternally to return to the skies it once called home! Professor Gina Diggers (archaeologist/super-scientist/adventurer) is all too delighted to share this discovery with her students from Georgia State University. It means an expedition of extraordinary magnitude, and all on a scholarship's dime -- or at least that's what Elroy and Kylie, two of Professor Diggers's brightest and most adventurous students believe when they agree to come along on the dig. When the twin thrill-seekers get spirited down into the chained citadel and encounter its dark defenses, it's up to Professor Diggers to keep them from being trapped below the earth forever. Gina's little sister Britanny, a were-cheetah, might even the odds -- if she and Gina can make their way two miles straight down in time!

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.
