An adult graphic novel with a hilarious and satirical take on the 'gig economy' as the residents of Fairhaven constantly hire the nearest monster hunter to keep their lives somewhat peaceful and intact. Based on the smash-hit audio serial, Bubble is a hilarious high-energy graphic novel with a satirical take on the 'gig economy.' Built and maintained by corporate benevolence, the city of Fairhaven is a literal bubble of safety and order (and amazing coffee) in the midst of the Brush, a harsh alien wilderness ruled by monstrous Imps and rogue bands of humans. Humans like Morgan, who's Brush-born and Bubble-raised and fully capable of fending off an Imp attack during her morning jog. She's got a great routine going-she has a chill day job, she recreationally kills the occasional Imp, then she takes that Imp home for her roommate and BFF, Annie, to transform into drugs as a side hustle. But cracks appear in her tidy life when one of those Imps nearly murders a delivery guy in her apartment, accidentally transforming him into a Brush-powered mutant in the process. And when Morgan's company launches Huntr, a gig economy app for Imp extermination, she finds herself press-ganged into kicking her stabby side job up to the next level as she battles a parade of monsters and monstrously Brush-turned citizens, from a living hipster beard to a book club hive mind.

After health problems wiped out their first few weeks of school, Perley and Amandine are starting their Junior year behind their classmates, and both have major changes in their lives that they're struggling to get used to. Perley was diagnosed with diabetes over the summer, and worries that all these new medical expenses will be a hardship on his family. And Amandine, part of a venerated family of vampires, has been turned much younger than she expected to be after a car accident nearly killed her. The two of them form a fast friendship-both feel a little out of step with their old lives, and as a bonus, it turns out that Amandine's new vampire abilities can help Perley save money on blood glucose tests. But as the year goes on, they're forced to admit that maybe their coping strategies-and their blood-sipping-turned-romance-aren't working out so well after all. Will they be able to get their lives back to normal? Or will both have to figure out new ways for their 'normal' to look? (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels
