Concrete: Stars Over Sand #1 is the start of a mini-series that makes similar demands. It is the continuation of the adored independent comic Concrete that assumes the audience interested in a new story would be one that already has a deep familiarity with its previous publications. It doesn’t exist to find a new audience of potential readers, but a labor of love from the author to continue their story as they would have so many years ago.
As a newcomer to conventions, I am learning that there are niche subspaces for those who aren’t into mainstream or active fandoms. These subspaces get even more niche when you add the intersectionality of being a black woman. At Dream Con, I was happy to find ample activations, panels, and events that aligned with my specific so-called dormant interests!
