Here's what its publisher, Radiator Press has to say:
In UM Volume One by buttercup, Eugenée (they/them) is just like any other nonbinary apprentice midwife and occult polyamorous plant dad. They play video games, begrudgingly attend church with their granma, and occasionally get transported into elaborate visions of magical happenings from the distant past! Ué may chalk it up to their casual substance use or the suspiciously arcane, dead-eyed gaze of their cat companion, Lamarche. but the gag is, what’s actually up is so much weirder.
In their debut graphic novel, buttercup weaves a beautiful swirling mixture of cosmic magic and intimate friendship, dazzling adventure and quiet drama, fun humor and sincere heartbreak.
Edited by Jamila Rowser & Steenz!
softcover (w/ French flaps) | 5" x 7" | 140 pages | full color

And now here's the third issuse of this small press comics anthology from Radiator Comics who sayeth thusly:
Spiny Orb Weaver is a comic arts journal, edited by Neil Brideau, that investigates the cartooning scene in South Florida! In each issue, a local cartoonist is commissioned to draw a new 12-page comic. Following the comic, Neil interviews the cartoonist. Back-pages are devoted to comics and essays by people who have lived in South Florida, but now live elsewhere.
Jamila Rowser writes and buttercup draws the story of messy gods trying and failing to reform their image in the eyes of mortals. What did going on the reality TV show, Real Realm do for four elemental sisters or their human subjects?
In the back-pages, former Palm Beach County residents and current cartoonists, remus jackson and Mar Julia talk about how growing up in South Florida has left its fingerprints on their work. How does nostalgia play into their storytelling?
