Let's Rock! is a fanzine themed centered around The Gavinners, an in-universe rock band in the Ace Attorney game series.

About

LET'S ROCK! will showcase various scenarios, compilations, and more revolving around the Gavinners from Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney. Whether that be day-to-day shenanigans with the paparazzi, glimpses of band practice, a look inside what life was like for them during their Themis days, or even a chance to showcase your Gavinners OCs... it’s all up to you!

The zine will be rated PG-13 depending on what a contributor may present in the zine, including any possible cursing and/or slight mentions of alcohol or drugs depicted. There will be absolutely NO NSFW of any kind. Intense gore and violence will also not be presented. Contributors who go against this will be removed from the project.

LET’S ROCK! will be a non-profit zine; any money made after production and shipping costs will be donated to a reputable charity, to be determined. All contributors will receive both a free digital and physical copy of the zine.[1]

The zine was announced with an interest check on September 10, 2022, then closed interest checks on September 25, 2022[2][3].
