Shade, The Changing Girl Vol. 2: Little Runaway

"This delightful continuation of the adventures of Shade, an alien who takes over the body of a teenage mean girl, serves as further evidence of the creativity of self-described “21st-century flapper” Cecil Castellucci. Sensing the limitations of the high school milieu, Castellucci has Shade head off to explore America – starting with Gotham City. Marley Zarcone’s art is perfect for Castellucci’s concept: crowded, vivid, yet subtly influenced by icy-cool stylists Adrian Tomine and Dan Clowes. Shade, the Changing Girl is both winsome and challenging – the perfect blend."
