“Villainous is my love letter to superheroes: the genre that inspired me as a kid and gave me a safe place to retreat to. It explores the ideas of blind loyalty, hero worship and what happens when our heroes don’t live up to the pedestal we put them on; while also touching on found family and embracing your truth — even if it makes you the villain of someone else’s story.”
– Writer, Stonie Williams
“I had such a rewarding time working on Villainous. I tried to bring to life what Stonie envisioned through the exaggeration of movement and expressions. I also have to give a shout-out to Joana’s beautiful colorwork, which helped bring these characters to life and immerse the reader more into the universe the characters live in. I am very grateful to be part of such an excellent team and to be able to bring the story to life with the influence of my art, has been a dream of mine since childhood.”
– Artist, Jef Sadzinski
