Кастеллуччи Сесил: Shade the Changing Girl Volume 1: Earth Girl Made Easy

Part of Gerard Way's new imprint, DC's Young Animal! Far

away on the planet Meta, Loma's going nowhere fast. She's dropped out of school,

dumped her boyfriend and is bored out of her mind. She longs to feel things.

That's where her idol, the lunatic poet Rac Shade, and his infamous madness coat

come in. Loma steals the garment and makes a break across galaxies to take up

residence in a new body: Earth girl Megan Boyer. Surely everything will be

better on this passionate, primitive planet with a dash of madness on her side

and this human girl's easy life. Only now that she's here, Loma discovers being

a teenaged Earth girl comes with its own challenges and Earth may not be

everything she thought it'd be. Megan Boyer was a bully who everyone was glad

was almost dead, and now Loma has to survive high school and navigate the

consequences of the life she didn't live with the ever-growing and

uncontrollable madness at her side. Not to mention that there are people back on

her homeworld who might just want Shade's coat back. Written by Cecil

Castellucci (The Plain Janes), drawn by Marley Zarcone (EFFIGY) and overseen by

Gerard Way, SHADE, THE CHANGING GIRL starts a whole new chapter in the story of

one of comics' most unique series. Collects SHADE, THE CHANGING GIRL #1-6.

SHADE, THE CHANGING GIRL is a part of DC's Young Animal--a four-book grassroots

mature-reader imprint, creatively spearheaded by Gerard Way, bridging the gap

between the DC Universe and Vertigo, and focusing on the juxtaposition between

visual and thematic storytelling.
