We're heading into the end of summer and Apex has a lot in store!
Of course, the biggest thing we have going on right now is ourKickstarter, which lasts through August 18th. We've already reached some amazing stretch goals—like original fiction by Gabino Iglesias, Bonnie Stufflebeam, Samit Basu, Lavie Tidhar, and Jennifer Marie Brissett--but there's so much more! We hope to fund for all of 2022, as well as fund a bonus issue featuring Asian and Pacific Islanders authors and artists with a special guest editor.
On Friday, August 6 at 8pm Eastern (7pm Central, 5pm Pacific, 12am UTC), Jason Sizemore, Lesley Conner, and Maurice Broaddus will be sitting in conversation with Beth Dawkins to discuss all things Apex!
