JOYRIDE (2016)

"What's to Love: After working together on Hacktivist and Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials original graphic novel, the writing duo of Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly (Batman and Robin Eternal) join forces once again with artist Marcus To (New Warriors, The Flash: Season Zero) for their first creator-owned series that takes readers to the stars in this space epic with a punk-rock attitude, perfect for fans of Young Avengers and Runaways. What It Is: In the future, Earth sucks. The stars have been blocked out for so long that people have forgotten there was anything else besides the dumb World Government Alliance watching over them, training children to join the militarized Allied Youth and eliminating all resistance with a giant ray gun. Uma Akkolyte is a girl who shoots first and leaps before she looks, and when she gets a strange message from outside the barricades of SafeSky, she jacks a spaceship and punches through the stratosphere with an unlikely crew of teens who are totally not ready for what they're about to find."

"When Uma and the rest of the crew discover treasure on the ship, they head for the nearest place they can spend it: a planet-sized mall!"

"Uma and Catrin attempt to fix the damaged spaceship, but end up falling from orbit and find themselves on a psychic planet that takes them into each other's memories."

"Final issue! Dewydd and Catrin explain their pasts to Uma, who might have to continue the joyride on her own."

"Now an ongoing series! After the chaotic series of events in Volume 1, the team goes to an unexplored planet to relax. It's a gas giant with large floating continents that also happen to be alive but unbeknownst to the team, the planet also has a chemical compound in the air that begins to affect them. How so? Well, love is in the air."

"After spending so much time exploring the galaxy, the gang decides to explore the ship they've been riding in, only to discover that it has been hiding so many secrets. "

"When that eighth-dimensional being Uma freed in issue #2 conquers a planet to throw a party in her honor, Uma is left with no choice but to do the one thing that goes against everything she believes in: Call the cops."

"Writers: Jackson Lanzing & Collin Kelly Artist: Marcus To Cover Artist: Marcus To Synopsis: Someone hijacks the ship and takes the team to an unknown section of space, where they come face-to-face with the powerful aliens that humanity encountered when they first left Earth...and the reason the SafeSky was built. "

"The start of an all-new arc picks up one year after the galaxy-changing events of last issue. As they embark on their next wave of adventures, Uma, Catrin, and Dewydd are not the same people who fled Earth a year ago. "

"One year later, Dewydd is walking his own path...and attempting to break into a maximum security prison?"

"Part one of the epic finale! They've gone to the edge of the galaxy and back, but the gang can't run from their past forever. They must return to Earth and nothing will ever be the same."

"FINAL ISSUE! The triumvirate's greatest fears become reality as alien life forms arrive on Earth, and Uma, Catrin, and Dewydd must save mankind's present to reimagine its future. "
