“KIM & KIM is BLADE RUNNER meets JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS — high energy, infused with fun, unabashedly progressive, a hypermodern Rock & Roll adventure in an electric future!”
– Steve Orlando (Midnighter, Supergirl, Batman & Robin Eternal)
Bleeding Cool
“An intriguing comic for all sorts of reasons… one of them is that it’s a comic with LGBTQ content, created while its writer was transitioning.”

“Get this most excellent book!”
– Gail Simone (Batgirl, Secret Six)
“KIM & KIM is super cute and now I want to read an entire series of the Kims talking about boys for two hundred issues.”

io9
“Kim & Kim isn’t just an incredibly fun comic book… beyond the sci-fi shenanigans and heroic quest the Kims go on, Kim & Kim is an LGBTQ-positive series that features a richly diverse cast of characters (including both of the Kims, one of whom is trans) and hugely important for Visaggio to write, as she was undergoing her own transition process.”

Synopsis:
Kim & Kim are twentysomething besties out to make a name for themselves in the wild world of interdimensional cowboy law enforcement. In a massive “screw you” to their parents and the authorities, they decide to hijack some high stakes bounty — and end up in way over their heads. Kim & Kim is a day-glo action adventure that’s bursting with energy and enthusiasm. It puts queer women and trans women front and center, with a story that embraces the absurd alongside realistic pathos.
Blending the punk exuberance of TANK GIRL with the buddy adventure wackiness of SUPERBAD (if Michael Cera was a trans woman and Jonah Hill a queergirl partner in crime), Kim & Kim focuses on the power and meaning of female friendships as engines of validation. A bright, happy, punk rock sci fi adventure that is queer as shit.
“A technicolor carousel of guitars, guns, cephalopods and a pair of interstellar guttersnipes just trying to get by. Cabrera, Aguirre & Visaggio have created a madcap world huge enough to contain interdimensional-traveling shapeshifters but small enough to get wrapped up in the bounty-hunting as indie rock travails of the Kims in question. KIM & KIM is a beautiful, foulmouthed book.”
– Christopher Sebela (Heartthrob, We(l)come Back, Dead Letters, High Crimes)
“KIM & KIM is everything I want in a comic: bleeding with style, grabbing your shirt collar, and dragging you into a kick-ass world with the promise of one hell of a ride. KIM & KIM is a book that TANK GIRL herself would approve.”
– Ryan Ferrier (Curb Stomp, D4VE, Kennel Block Blues)
