About The Book
Kim & Kim are 20something besties out to make a name for themselves in the wild world of interdimensional cowboy law enforcement. 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), this two-time GLAAD-nominated and Eisner-nominated series focuses on the power and meaning of female friendships as engines of validation. A day-glo action adventure that’s bursting with energy and enthusiasm, Kim & Kim puts queer women and trans women front and center in a bright, happy, punk rock sci fi adventure that is queer as all get-out.
“Kim & Kim is super cute and now I want to read an entire series of the Kims talking about boys for two hundred issues.” –Sophie Campbell (Wet Moon, Jem and The Holograms)
“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)
“Get this most excellent book!” –Gail Simone (Batgirl, Secret Six)

"The summer's funnest comic!"
– The Mary Sue
"This outer space comic book series with a decidedly queer- and female-centric tale is what our modern culture needs."
– The Advocate
"The comic feels like Tank Girl set in the world of Cowboy Bebop. In short: very, very fun. Oh and BTW, both of the main characters are queer—Kim D is a cisgender bisexual woman and Kim Q is trans and self-identifies as queer, though she’s still sorting o
– Bitch Magazine
“A rollicking science fiction adventure comic about two young queer women working as dimension-hopping interplanetary bounty hunters...one of the breakout debuts of the year.”

– Bleeding Cool
“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)
