Tokusatsu that isn't about superheroes, and isn't for kids. "Wild Zero" is about aliens creating a zombie apocalypse that can only be stopped by the magic powers of real-life punk band Guitar Wolf

"Wild Zero" is a punk Japanese horror scifi movie with a trans protagonist. Big recommend.

The film "Wild Zero" is an absolute romp. It's about aliens creating a zombie apocalypse which can only be stopped by the supernatural powers of real-life Japanese punk band Guitar Wolf.

Aside from Guitar Wolf themselves, the main characters are Ace and Tobio. Tobio is played by Thai actress Kwancharu Shitichai, but is dubbed over Japanese actress Yōko Asada because Kwancharu's pronunciation of Japanese was not able to be understood by audiences.

When Ace finds out Tobio is trans, he initially panics, but the spectral image of Guitar Wolf (the name of the band as well as the lead singer/guitarist) appears to him and says (in Japanese): "Love has no borders, nationalities, or genders!"

Together Ace and Tobio survive the invasion and fall in love.

Tobio is treated with the utmost respect, and her identity is never invalidated by the story.

Also, the movie is full of guts, gore, gun play, action, explosions, and even a sword that is also a guitar!

I highly recommend checking it out.

Black salt is an important ingredient in banishing and protection rituals.

Please do not make it by mixing table salt with incense ash.

Although not usually made to be consumed, if black salt with incense ash is consumed, it can be harmful. Incense is not regulated as a food product, and as a result common forms of incense available for purchase often contain chemicals not meant to be ingested. Although small amounts are not harmful, regular intake can damage the digestive system.

Incense ash, mixed with salt or not, should not be spread around living spaces or natural environments for the same reason. They almost always contain chemicals which are not safe for living things to eat or inhale. Incense ash should be discarded safely in normal waste recepticles.

Our ancestors did not have access to incense sticks as they currently exist. Although it is true that our ancestors uses "incense ash" to make black salt in Europe and North Africa, that "incense" was almost exclusively bundles of dried herbs like rosemary and sage - not the stick dipped in dry chemicals you buy at the store.

There are two types of common black salt which are categorically edible: South Asian black salt prepared by cooking raw salt crystals with herbs found on the Indian Subcontinent in clay pots inside kilns that reach over 1000 degrees celsius, and black salt harvested from Hawaiian islands where sea salt has mixed with volcanic ash. These are available from most reputable importers.

If you do prefer to make black salt at home, please use the ash of herbs which are safe to eat, again such as sage or rosemary. Even if you do not intend to eat it yourself, placing incense ash in your living space may cause you to inhale chemicals which are harmful, and placing incense ash in the outdoors can do harm to the smallest and most vulnerable lives, such as insects.

The Time Wars are an endless struggle between Humanity and Vampirekind, guided by time travelers from both sides from the 161st century. The Order of Darkness is a secret army of Human soldiers, recruited from among the most marginalized in society, to be armed with alien and future technology to battle the Vampire menace.

Ash Grey and Saturn Olympus are of different races and religions, but they love each other deeply, despite the crushing social pressure of their age. Inducted into the Order of Darkness by time travelers, they have been armed to wage war against the Vampires of Washington Territory in 1880.

Ash is proud and defiant, having declared his manhood as a young person, earning him the ire of his conservative community. He never abandoned his faith in Jesus Christ, believing in the message of equality and freedom from fear over everything else. When his hometown was slaughtered by an alien game hunter, Ash captured a device called a phasing stone which allows him to instantly teleport anywhere he can imagine.

Saturn is a calm and thoughful person, tempering his great physical strength with wisdom and patience. His mother was born into enslavement, but learned to read and was enlightened by her holy book, Metamorphosis by Ovid. Worshipping the Roman Olympians, she gave herself the name Hera Olympus and escaped to freedom. She was quickly brought into the Order of Darkness, and become one of their witches, using future technology and science to create medicine and tools to help in the war on Vampirekind. When she gave birth to Saturn, his arms and legs were unusually small. To help him, the Order gave him prosthetics made of alien and future technology. He now uses his mechanical limbs to fight for the freedom of all Humanity.

Ash has discovered that he's pregnant at the same time that Washington Territory's Vampiric Warlord, Leonard Victor, has decided the pair are too dangerous to be left alive. Alice Hayweather, a powerful and technologically advanced Vampire cyborg, has been put on their trail, their heads in her crosshairs.

Now Ash and Saturn need to kill Alice and Victor before the baby comes, so they can live without fear of retribution.

To help them with this mission, in this issue, the married couple reunite with old friends: the Sheriff's Department of the town Rock Hen. Sheriff Fa Bo, a Chinese-American man, is a natural born leader with a mind like a steel trap. His boyfriend, Jim Spears, is a Washoe man with a history of bounty hunting, who believes in the power of community and compassion. Deputy Laney Booker, Bo's best friend, is a Black trans woman and freedom fighter whose refusal to relent has cost her her entire family.

The Kickstarter is to raise funds to print a special First Edition physical run with a gold border. We will never use this gold border again, making these unique collectibles. We also have low price rewards for PDF copies!

This comic was written by me, Bijhan Agha, a trans woman in South America. The comic was illustrated by Pallet, a trans man in Australia. No AI of any kind was used in the creation of this comic.
