Us Against the World: a personalized comic book gift
Some couples are partners. Others are a two-person crime-fighting duo who also share a streaming account. This comic makes the two of you the heroes of an action story where you take on noisy neighbors, broken appliances and a villain who keeps eating the last yogurt. Add your inside jokes, your team nickname and your secret weapon (probably snacks), and you get a custom comic book for the best team you know.

Questions about this comic
Can we have our own superhero names and costumes?
Put your team name, nicknames and costume ideas in the 'anything special' field, and the story is written with them in mind. If something is not quite right, you can change the words in the editor and have any page redrawn.
Can our pets join the team?
Yes. Mention your pets in your answers with their names and quirks, and they can join the team. A dog sidekick or a cat in a cape fits right in alongside the two of you.
