The most exciting part as a queer person, and a nonbinary person working in the environment of Minecraft, the people who were supporting the comic, who wanted it to exist want to include diversity, we want to show that its not just binary kids playing, white kids playing, we get to show the full spectrum of identity playing in this game, literally limitless, you can be and do anything which is so exciting to see taking shape in comics, especially in Minecraft.
It was wild to me, because coming up in the industry was a very binary game, the editors that we're working with, when they pitched it were like we want to make sure diversity is at the forefront of Minecraft and that's one of the keystones of the platform
Infinite diversity means you can model and reshape the world, and the friendships that you're building are constantly modelling and reshaping and your identities can transition within the game, the game can accommodate that, make a space to explore yourself and figure out who you are and what you are and how you fit into the world.
Tyler's life is turned upside down when his family has to move far away from his hometown. Thankfully, he has a strong group of friends forever linked in the world of Minecraft!
Artwork from the comic was popular enough that it became featured on the front page of tumblr.[4][5] From 2020 to 2023, this issue was Dark Horse Comics' best selling comic.[6][7][8][9] In 2023, the book was featured as a recommendation on the streaming platform Hoopla's Graphic Novel Book Club.[10]
In 2020, the comic was nominated for the 2019 Diamond Gem Awards, in the category of Best All Ages Original/Reprint GN.[11][12][13]
