Issue Description

Thanks to her student, the grass wizard Alena, Gina's excavation of T'uala has located a city-sized myconid pod in the molten rock surrounding the buried fortress, immune to the lava's heat. Within it, thousands of plant-like creatures resembling powerful, armored vehicles have been waiting for an opportunity to return to the world above. Gina's not about to let Alena examine the pod's plant-magic and botanical-tech secrets firsthand, as it's too dangerous. However, with a little help from fluffy-minded relic expert Aljabra, Alena might reach the myconid pod anyway... but will she live to regret meeting the evil of all roots?

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.
