Want to walk a mile in someone else's shoes? Now you can!

Marcus Wallace, tech billionaire & self-proclaimed genius, has unveiled a way for anyone to switch bodies using a new subscription program, SwitchLife. 

To regain the trust of the shareholders and the public alike, he demos the new technology live. He was warned it's not ready, but after some missteps with AI investments - he has to come out with something to capture their attention. 

It does...but not the way he hoped.

Crazy Latte Thing Called Love

Crazy Latte Thing Called Love is a 32-page full-colour one-shot where Liam, a lovelorn insurance adjuster, doesn't care to answer that question. He falls deeply in love with a barista, Ruby, who barely knows him. As his love falls deeper into obsession, he gets dragged into a world he was not prepared to enter.


Naked Kaiju Woman

The city is attacked by Kaiju and only one person can stop it! Claire, a headstrong analyst who spends most of her time working at home in her sweats, has the ability to grow over 50 feet tall! A handy skill in a town regularly attacked by giant monsters! Enter Naked Kaiju Woman.

Stay Cool

Stay Cool is a 24-page black & white one-shot comic about spontaneous combustion and revenge. Claire, a rough and tumble investigator, is thrown into a mysterious world of gaslighting and confusion as people around her randomly begin to explode. The issue becomes personal as Claire gets deeper into a conspiracy she can't escape.

Unlimited Udo is a 28-page full colour one-shot about Hope - a former programmer forced into a sudden career change when her boss, Udo Dolos, takes over her job in the most unexpected way. Along with everyone else's.

Hi! My name is Adriano Ariganello.

I'm the author of Switch/Restart and, usually, I write comics.
(If you're interested or curious, I've included my catalogue of comics as digital add-ons.)

I have many crowdfunded comics and Pesto Comics publishes monthly comics available on store shelves across North America and Europe. I've been writing for well over 20-years now, starting as an eager film school student to the well-worn writer you find before you today.

I'm excited to share this story, one that needed to be told in this format. I think you'll enjoy it.

If you have any questions that aren't answered on this page, by all means, please feel free to reach out by emailing me at [email protected] or on any of the socials @pestocomics.

You can always find out the latest about what's happening with Pesto Comics at pestocomics.com

This is only possible thanks to the support of backers and fans like YOU!

If you haven't yet, please consider backing this campaign as it allows us to continue making great books, comics, games and more. All while getting amazing writers & artists paid so that they can keep amazing you with their work. 

We promise to keep our standards as high as possible so you're getting your money's worth. Your support is worth so much more than the dollar amount you provide (though that's very much appreciated too!)

Thanks again,
