ASHCAN OF THE WEEK
Valentine Virago has always struggled with her health. Her rare autoimmune disorder she’s had since she was a kid has defied all treatment, and as she grew older, it defied even classification. You see, Valentine can take her immune system and weaponize it. What would just be a normal sneeze to the rest of us, she can turn into a projectile of bloody miasma. Just as a start.
Fed up with being a test subject for pushy doctors, Valentine has gone on the lam in search of the freedom to be herself. Unfortunately, interested parties want her back in their care, and they are sending goons in hazmat suits, led by her one-time nurse and potential love interest, Jono. He’s offering her a spot in a private medical facility run by his parents, where others like her with maladies that aren’t found in any textbook can find solace.
Val isn’t one for institutions, however, and what some may see as a safe haven, she sees as a prison—and what is a prison but something you need to break. Can she organize the rest of the patients to escape with her, or will she be on her own once again?
For every 5 copies of The Dogsitter #1 ordered, retailers will be eligible to order a pack of 20 ashcans promoting the upcoming series Sicko.
