“Shade, the Changing Girl” has been such an interesting series for DC/Young Animal. Part continuation of a classic Vertigo series, part fish out of water story, part psychedelic romp – the series takes unexpected turns at every stop, and is one of the most fun, and funniest, books DC is putting out. We are thrilled to share an exclusive first look at the ninth issue, which hits shelves on June 7.

Lettered by Saida Temofonte Part two of Shade’s visit to Gotham City, the first stop on her tour of America. What will happen when she uses madness to get reality to line up with her American dreams? And now that her enemies on Meta have tracked Shade and the madness coat to Earth, she no longer has to worry about how she’s going to get back to her home planet—because Shade’s home planet is coming to her! All this and a new “Life With Honey” tale illustrated by guest artist Brittney Williams (Goldie Vance).

Thanks again to DC for the preview, and make sure to pick up the book on Wednesday!
