What is a zine?
A zine, pronounced ZEEN, is an independently published collection of illustrations, comics, short stories, and various other forms of creative content. Typically centered around a specific media, theme, character or pairing.What is this zine about? / What is the zine's theme?
Wildcard is an unofficial zine centered around the character Denji from Tatsuki Fujimoto’s hit anime and manga Chainsaw Man and his relationships with other characters in the series.The theme of the zine is centralized around the concept of a wildcard in poker and various other card games. A wildcard is a card that's value, meaning and ability change depending on who is using it. Similarly to how Denji changes depending on who is "using" him (or rather whose influence he is under). Overall a wildcard's influence and ability to change the tides of a game is known to be unpredicatable.Contributors will not be required to adhere to this theme in their contributions but it is encouraged.What is the format of this zine?
