The epic worldbuilding of Dune meets the romance and drama of Saga in this complex, action-packed space opera about the first completely free planet in human history. In the wake of a grueling war of independence, a team of revolutionary heroes is tasked with defending their home and its uniquely potent energy source from multiple intergalactic superpowers intent on domination. Faced with separatist movements, counterrevolutionaries, political deadlock, famine, equipment shortages, a looming trade war, violent attacks and wildly divergent ideas of how to handle each, can true freedom endure?

Ace of Hearts: Lessons in Love from an Asexual Girl by Cooklin
Ace of Hearts: Lessons in Love from an Asexual Girl
by Cooklin

What does love look like when you are not interested in sex? Growing up, Caitlin Cook knew the recipe for social success from watching television and reading books: two best friends, two enemies, and a boyfriend, but she felt that inside, something was wrong with her. This graphic novel follows Caitlin Cook, who is asexual but does not yet fully realize it. From evangelical purity politics to the footloose college campus, Caitlin navigates different worlds each with their own sexual orthodoxies, and clumsily attempts to fit into each of them. A thoughtful and immersive coming-of-age memoir about one girl's struggle to figure out and then claim her asexual identity.
Pig Wife by Abbey Luck
Pig Wife
by Abbey Luck

Accidentally trapped in an underground bunker, a teen girl must navigate the bizarre secrets within. Mary had a bad feeling even before they arrived at dead Aunt Pearl's house. Filled with suspense, dark humor, and spectacular nightmares, Pig Wife is a shockingly ambitious debut from graphic novelist Abbey Luck, seizing readers by the heart and the throat with a story of isolation, abuse, trauma, and survival. In this truly twisted coming-of-age tale, Luck suggests that survival doesn't depend on our strength and wits alone--but on our ability to love others, even in the most horrific circumstances.
