Beloved queer paranormal romance webcomic “Mooncakes” is making the jump to print this October, when Lion Forge Comics releases the series’s first collected edition. The Hollywood Reporter broke the news that “Mooncakes,” which was initially slated to hit print back in 2017, will finally reach comic and bookstore shelves this fall, with a comic store release of Oct. 2 and bookstore release of Oct. 15.
“Mooncakes” creators Wendy Xu and Suzanne Walker released a statement along with the news, saying how excited they are to see “Mooncakes” protagonists Nova and Tam move from Tumblr to the printed page.
“We set out to tell a story of reunion — two childhood crushes who find each other again to find out whether their friendship could be something more. Nova and Tam’s love thrives in a rich, vibrant world of magic, demons, and elder witches, and their journey is a reflection of all we value as creators. We couldn’t be more thrilled that Lion Forge is releasing it in print, and we are so excited to share Nova and Tam’s story with the world!”
The “Mooncakes” Tumblr has been on hiatus, but will resume regular updates on Feb. 14. So there’ll be plenty of “Mooncakes” headed your way this year, even before the print edition drops in October.
