Y, de hecho, nadie sabe que están saliendo: ni sus padres, ni el equipo de Samwell, ni los Falconers Al fin y al cabo, no saben cómo podría afectar a la carrera de Jack el anuncio de su relación. Sin embargo, el amor no es algo que deba mantenerse oculto, y eso es algo que ambos tienen claro.

Para empezar, están las cargas. Y luego, está Jack, el atractivo pero borde capitán del equipo... por el cual se siente inexplicablemente atraído, aunque no tenga posibilidades de que le corresponda... ¿O tal vez sí?

Darkseid is…and life on Apokolips is tough—but then, it is hell after all. And no one knows this better than Barda, Granny Goodness’s right hand warrior. But Barda has a secret…she is in love. Or she is drawn to the idea of it anyway, whether it be the beauty of a flower, her affection for her closest friend, Aurelie, or the mysterious and fierce enemy warrior, Orion, who is the only match for Barda’s strength. But when Granny decides Barda is becoming too soft, she assigns Barda a task that might be more than she can handle—to break the seemingly unbreakable Scott Free. And as Barda questions why Scott has such hope and what he might have done to promote such hatred from Granny, she finds herself drawn to him in a way she never expected. The only thing is, we do not speak of love on Apokolips… Join #1 New York Times bestselling author-illustrator NGOZI UKAZU ( Check, Please ) as she takes readers on an unforgettable journey of self-discovery, deep friendships, and first loves!

Welcome to HUDDLE! Vol. 2! How are you? It's great to see you. Get comfy! Where the first volume of HUDDLE! was a compilation of spontaneous sketches, HUDDLE! 2 is a bit more considered. First, you may notice it's in color. Second, it not only has watercolor sketches from Gale, but digital drawings from my buddy Mad and an excellent grouping of words by my friend Kate.

Welcome to Huddle! Vol. 3. If you're brand new here, Huddle zines are 18+ fan Service booklets that feature characters from the webcomic Check Please. And for a sketch zine that started on a goddamn whim, the Huddle series continues a strong legacy of spiciness and smut. How did we even get her, folks?... Because when you stumble upon this webcomic at 2AM on a weekday, you weren't thinking «But what if these dudes made out in their undies?» (Or maybe you did.) Anyway, let's keep this short.Huddle 1: sketches and teen-rated drabbles... Huddle 2: full-colored illustrations, comics Huddle 3: sketches, drabbles, full-colored illustrations, and an entire comic about Jack being really horny for Eric F***ing Bittle. If we keep this up, I have no idea what Huddle! Vol. 4 will even look like!!!!

During the summer of 2014, Gale and I discovered we liked drawing boys kissing each other's face. Okay, we were already highly aware of the fact—duh—but during the summer of 2014, we found ourselves sketching a lot of carefree Check, Please! themed doodles in between the intense drawing sessions of our summer courses. And suddenly we had an end goal—DRAW A BUNCH OF BOYS KISSING AND TURN IT INTO A ZINE. And so HUDDLE! was born.
