Gemini and Becoming Median, by Zyfron (slice-of-life comic, 2010-2013, 2018)

Z: Ooooooh! A dramatic intro!
Bernie: Get down from there! You're ruining the dramatic tension!


Blurb: "The life of the Zyfron System: Cartoonified!" Slice-of-life strips about being multiple. Went on hiatus for many years, then culminated with "Becoming Median," a zine about integration, becoming median, and dealing with trauma.

Why is it worth your time?: Zyfron discuss the complications of life after integration, which is often depicted as a simple, "hooray, you're cured!" You get to see the arc of their lives from multiple, to singlet, to median, and how that is a complicated, confusing process. Gemini may not have a story, per se, but it describes an experience that is lacking in plural stories, so I am choosing to boost it. Plus I am utterly biased because Zyfron are my friend and they let me squat on healthymultiplicity.com. :p
