DC’s YA graphic novels have given us a chance to get more personal stories from our favorite heroes, and I’m so happy to see the spotlight on Jessica Cruz! A powerful story with beautiful artwork.
This series is pure shoujo goodness! A pop idol and his biggest fan keep accidentally switching bodies, leading to all sorts of hilarious mix-ups as they try to play it cool and not let anyone know their secret. It goes as well as you’d expect!

I’m always eager to get my hands on the next volume.
