What happens when two NYU grads – one with an eye for design, the other with a brain for business – team up to take on the world of decor? The answer: Thriftr, a hoity-toity Greenpoint boutique with a carefully curated collection of secondhand treasures that’s sure to make Brooklynites drop dead. THRIFTR: Just another supernatural, entrepreneurial, start-up story.However, when his former master has a change of heart and threatens to put the hurt on Ginn’s girl unless Ginn recommits to serving him, our troubled genie must make an impossible choice. GINN: Just another supernatural, quarter-eon crisis storyĪfter his master sets him free, a hard-drinking, foul-mouthed genie spirals into an existential crisis, until he falls for a human who works for the Make a Wish Foundation – and for once in eons – finds meaning.He mixes a mean cocktail, is handy around the house, and will help Lydia exact her revenge, with a vengeance. Then, in anguish and anger, she accidentally conjures up a golem from clay in her Bushwick studio. Meet Lydia Loew, an artisan potter, who goes on a bender after a bad breakup. EMMETT: Just another supernatural, stoner, self-love story.“That’s definitely something I like to draw.”Ĭheck out a map of the fictional Brooklyn below. “It’s kind of slightly chilling, slightly funny, but more of a mystery, everyday life kind of thing,” said Yishan Li, artist of Lesser Evils. Our hope is that through the drama, the humor, and the thrills and chills, Lesser Evils is a guided tour for the reader through some of the lesser-known exotic microcosms of Brooklyn and the frighteningly familiar exotic microcosms of themselves.” They are the pitfalls we all must avoid and the obstacles we all must navigate within ourselves to achieve a successful place in our social circles, in our neighborhoods and in the world. Justin Fair added, “As a seminal rocker and voice of a generation, Gavin Rossdale (Bush, Institute), sang: ‘It’s the little things that kill.’ Lesser Evils are the less obvious, often self-inflicted, more insidious evils that threaten our well-being. No better venue for our eerie and eerily familiar tales.”

Any place where there’s that much hope and desperation and frustration is already full of magic. Where people actively go to transform and reinvent themselves. “Brooklyn was the perfect backdrop because it’s not only a cultural hub, it’s a place of becoming. And reflect it back to readers through relevant, relatable stories filled with references to their favorite music, movies, and memes,” said Ian Grody, co-creator and writer of Lesser Evils.

“My aspiration from the jump has been to create a comic through the lens of contemporary culture. The pop culture-filled universe created by Ian Grody (writer) and Justin Fair (director), along with artist Yishan Li (illustrator), explores what intimacy, spite, selflessness, and friendship mean today. The Brooklyn-based adventures debut today with the digital release of Emmett #1: A Lesser Evils Story.
#AWA STUDIOS SERIES#
The Lesser Evils universe kicks off with the new series Emmett, Ginn, Thrifter, and Tails. It’s a new endeavor in part because it spans comics, film, and webtoons too. AWA Studios has revealed a new endeavor called Lesser Evils.
