Pressed by her mother to find some social outlet, she enrolls in a School for Ninjas—and in an instant, her life changes.

Rena’s instructor, the mysterious Dysart, tells her that her presence fulfills an ancient prophecy and that she will become the Ninja legend known as “The Ghost.” Assuming she can even get past her own anxieties, will she help Dysart return the Ninja to their former glory, or is Dysart planning to exploit Rena for his own cryptic aims?

[Preview] Image Comics to Release Jesse Lonergan’s Sci-Fi Graphic Novel PLANET PARADISE

by Jason Bennett
written by Jason Bennett

HEDRA MASTERMIND BRINGS READERS JAW-DROPPING
GRAPHIC NOVEL PLANET PARADISE THIS NOVEMBER

On the heels of Jesse Lonergan’s bestselling one-shot story Hedra, which sold out instantly and sent the industry atwitter with praise, comes a new offering from Lonergan in forthcoming original graphic novel Planet Paradise. The science fiction story will showcase more of Lonergan’s groundbreaking talents and is set to hit shelves from Image Comics this November.

In Planet Paradise, to survive after crash landing on an alien planet, a vacationer must battle against a hostile environment, killer lizards, corporate bureaucracy, and the pessimism of her sole companion, the drug-addled captain of the ship.

“Planet Paradise has elements of the visual experimentation that was such a big part of Hedra, but because of the longer form, I was able to have more twists in the story and give more depth to the characters,” said Lonergan.

[Preview] BOOM! Studios Offers Early Look at JULIET TAKES A BREATH Original Graphic Novel

by Jason Bennett
written by Jason Bennett

Your First Look at Gabby Rivera and Celia Moscote’s
JULIET TAKES A BREATH Graphic Novel From BOOM! Studios

BOOM! Studios has revealed a first look at the brand new graphic novel, JULIET TAKES A BREATH. Critically-acclaimed writer Gabby Rivera (b.b. free) adapts her bestselling novel alongside artist Celia Moscote, colorist James Fenner, and letterer DC Hopkins in an unforgettable queer coming-of-age story exploring race, identity and what it means to be true to your amazing self, even when the rest of the world doesn’t understand, available in November 2020.

Juliet Milagros Palante is leaving the Bronx and headed to Portland, Oregon. She just came out to her family and isn’t sure if her mom will ever speak to her again. But don’t worry, Juliet has something kinda resembling a plan that’ll help her figure out what it means to be Puerto Rican, lesbian, and out. See, she’s going to intern with Harlowe Brisbane—her favorite author, whose latest book on feminism and finding power in your body has Juliet ready to stomp the patriarchy and fall forever in love with herself.

There’s just one problem—Harlowe’s clueless, not from the Bronx, and doesn’t have the answers. Okay, maybe that’s more than one problem but Juliet never said it was a perfect plan…
