Red and Blue: a comic about spontaneous abortion

Here we go! Red and Blue is up for sale in ebook and paper forms, $6 USD either way! And boy is it grim; content warnings (with spoilers) will be in the comments below.
Even the cover image has gore and pregnancy imagery, so it's behind a cut. )

The leading cause of death for pregnant people in the United States in 2018-2019 was homicide. That risk was heightened for Black folks and young people (age 10-24) of all ethnicities. Two-thirds of the life-ending injuries took place in the home, and strangulation was the third most common means of murder. (Source: Wallace et all, "Homicide During Pregnancy and the Postpartum Period in the United States, 2018–2019")

This is a reality-mashing horror comic about being that kind of statistic. 32 pages, black and white with spot color, mostly red and blue.
