But currently there are external elements that are really shaping things in a good way so that when you see more Scarenthood, you will see MORE Scarenthood. The book sells REALLY well to new readers every time I do a show, I just wish vol 2 of this creator-owned book had arrived long before now.

Definitely the latter Nick, definitely the latter…
Scarenthood is a hoot of a ride with your awesome voice and visuals capturing both of those fears exquisitely.
As a father of two girls, I felt heard.
I really need to reread it, it’s been a minute. Everyone else should too.

SCARENTHOOD is an incredible story told and drawn by some amazing folks. Hits hard, maybe juuuuust a bit harder if you have young kids somewhere in your life. Big recommends, I encourage you to check it out!

Can't recommend Scarenthood enough - not because Nick Roche is a top guy (he is) but because this is a comic that not only appealed to my wife (who does not read comics) but she absolutely devoured it.
I thought it was pretty good too! Give it a shot!

Scarenthood is a goddamn delight of a book and deserves a wider audience. Please pick it up, and accelerate the sequel!
I have a weird aversion to pushing the book's existence sometimes. Partly because it feels like it's not 'new' so unworthy of shilling. Partly because there's yet to be a (released) follow-up or any new creator-owned project from me. But I'm so proud of Scarenthood, I think I'm gonna say it more.
