Back To Earth - A Sapphic, Post-Apocalyptic Graphic Novel

Created by MH Cali

A world that fell over the edge. A hostile wasteland cloaked in peculiarity. Yet, Sasha and Leora’s bond is stronger than extinction. Join us on this tale about the aftermath of a big collapse, and how a sliver of hope might be all Sasha has left.

Summer Update
8 days ago – Thu, Aug 20, 2026 at 11:10:14 AM

Hi guys,

We hope you've all been doing well. This update will be quick with hopefully more to show next time. With Ines slowly recovering from their wrist injury and other health related issues, progress has been made but has been a little slower than anticipated (in addition that this summer has been so hot and full of wildfires!)

Please enjoy this little WIP snippet of Kej's gorgeous colouring of pages, and know that we haven't forgotten about you all and this project. We are just working as fast as possible given everybody's circumstances and we thank you tremendously for your understanding and patience.

We also can't wait to hold this book in our hands, trust.

Until next time,
MH, Kej & Ines


May Update

Hi everyone,

This update will be very short, but it's just to tell you that we are still slowly progressing on the pages while making sure Ines is able to not make their wrist situation any worse. June should be a good month to show y'all some progress we've made.

Thank you again for your patience through all of this💖 
We appreciate each of you so much.

Until next time.
Cheers,
MH, Kej & Ines

Hi everyone,

This month we wanted to highlight Kej's gorgeous inking in this update so enjoy! 

Things are coming along and we couldn't be more excited for this book to see the light of day.


As a sidenote, if you hadn't seen it yet, I (MH Cali) currently have a queer romance anthology about mythical beings navigating their love lives who needs some help to get funded, we're in the final stretch, and if it sounds up your alley, check it out! It's got art by amazing artists like Laura Helsby, Fell Hound, Jaws Stone, Jonah Walker, Len Gogos, Matt Aytch Taylor, covers by Alex Moore & Missupacey and more! This way:  https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/mh-cali/the-hectic-love-lives-of-the-mythical

Thanks to you all for being here.
Until next time,
MH, Ines & Kej

Quick February Progress Update!
6 months ago – Wed, Feb 25, 2026 at 06:49:04 AM

Hi everyone!

We hope everything is going as well as possible for all of you. We just wanted to share some new pencils by Ines (because they are so pretty?!) and give a quick update that Kej is inking pages and this week is mainly colouring a batch of pages they have ready :)

Things are coming along slowly but surely (Ines is pacing their effort to not worsen their wrist injury) and we're excited to put this book in your hands this year!

Thanks for being around and for the understanding throughout the health issues which caused unexpected delays. We appreciate you guys💖

Until next time.
Cheers,
MH, Ines & Kej


Progress Update!

Hi everyone,

We're hoping the new year has been treating you well so far with *everything* going on. 

For our part in regard to this project we have fun news! Ines is feeling good enough to pencil again! Which means that production is back underway (albeit slowly) so we will keep you all posted as we progress :) 

We are aiming at Spring 2026 to be when we can send this to the printer and then deliver it to you guys.

We thank you once again for the understanding you showed us and for all the support messages we got for Ines. It truly means a lot💖

Talk soon.
Be good to each other.
MH
