ANTIDOTE Featured & Reviewed on BlerdTalk with Bola and Whitney

Blerding Out on BlerdTalk with Bola and Whitney

Memorial Day greetings, fans!

We’ve been busy spreading the word on all things ANTIDOTE. I spent some time blerding out on Bola and Whitney’s podcast, BlerdTalk.

We spent some time talking about ANTIDOTE #1, the creative process, and how we all like anti-heroines in stories. We even spent a little bit of time speaking on some controversial topics like how I fell out of love with Downton Abbey after Matthew’s accident.

Please subscribe to BlerdTalk with Bola and Whitney, and listen to Episode 44.

The Players – ANTIDOTE Issue #1

Washington, DC is a great city. One of the world’s capital cities. DC is complex. It’s powerful, and it’s weak. It’s insanely rich, and it’s depressingly poor. DC is a town where everyone is in a constant mode of reinvention. Its diversity draws you in, and it’s power seductive. There are pure Washingtonians (our very own El Jefe is one), but you wouldn’t know it until you ask. Once you play DC’s power games, it’s hard to leave.

Introducing the players of ANTIDOTE, Issue #1.

ANTIDOTE is coming in September! Pre order your copy today!

“I am the ANTIDOTE.”

Hi!

It’s the first article for our first comic!

ANTIDOTE is Astrid Comics first published work. ANTIDOTE follows the life and story of Martinique Danes, a hard charging reporter who works for the global, independent newspaper, Teh Meridian.  Marti’s night was already off to an exciting start after running into her old friend, the stubborn and antagonizing, Jennifer Grae. Things take an unexpected turn when she meets the mysterious Mikey at a political fundraiser. Determined in her own right, Marti will have to uncover layers of purpose to get to the bottom of a conspiracy when power, politics, and sex converge.

ANTIDOTE is not only set in Washington, DC, but is a DC comic. Read on to experience DC culture, monuments, and society in a comic format.

Washington: ANTIDOTE’s Town

Washington, DC is one of the world’s great cities. DC is a small place, and is a melting pot brimming with people of every nationality from every walk of life. It’s a working town where congressional staffers, Internet millionaires, and corner boys regularly share rides on the Metro in a swamp that fits in a 10 mile square.
