Jinx

Description

Archie Comics proudly introduces the first book of the new graphic novel series- Jinx. Written and drawn by the award-winning team of J. Torres (writer), Rick Burchett, and Terry Austin, Li'l Jinx has now grown up and is headed for high school! Real, not ideal... Jinx has just finished her last summer of middle school and is getting ready for her first day of high school. She can't wait to see her friends-all of the friends she's hung out with since she was a little girl. There's no reason for any of them to start acting weird, like, not want to sit with her at lunch, or want to date her or anything...right? It's not like everything changes in high school...is it?

J. TORRES won the Shuster Award for Outstanding Writer for his work on Batman- Legends of the Dark Knight, Love as a Foreign Language and Teen Titans Go. He is also the writer of the Eisner Award-nominated Alison Dare and the YALSA listed Days Like This and Lola- A Ghost Story.

"Charming and realistic." --Comic Book Resources "To read Jinx is to take in a delightful breath of fresh air--two big lungfuls of hilarity and heart." --Sean McKeever (Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane) "J. Torres and Co. have created a timeless, stylish YA story." --Brian Wood (Demo) "I love Jinx--her stories, her look, and her mismatched collection of friends. A lively and sympathetic look at the ups and downs of being a teenager." --Brigid Alverson, Good Comics for Kids (School Library Journal)
