Abuzz Premiere

Amy Chase is releasing her new graphic novel today titled Abuzz, with illustrator Stelladia, colorist Ellie Wright, and letterer Taylor Esposito.

“Shakespeare’s beloved romcom Much Ado About Nothing gets a modern update with an LGBTQ cast and the same classic miscommunications! Feuding senior students Ben and Beatriz drag half of Messina High into their never—ending arguments, making things difficult as budding sweethearts Hero and Claudio are asked to pick sides in the battle. All the while, the bad kids, led by outcast DJ, are plotting to capitalize on the chaos and rule the school for themselves. With college letters and prom night on the horizon, will these students find their happy ending or feel the sting of total rejection?”

Abuzz is available anywhere and everywhere you get comics.
