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.
