Back in January we reviewed Tyson Hesse’s comic Diesel, but unfortunately it has been in and out of print since then. The good news is that you can now get volume one and the pending volume two digitally for the obscenely low price of $8 via Mr. Hesse’s new Kickstarter campaign. So if you have been interested in this wonderful comic, are a fan of his web comic Boxer Hockey, or just want to support indie comics, you can pledge some money and get a great deal in the process.
