color us happy!

Did you hear about the launch of MINX, a new line of graphic novels for teen girls that will be served up next May? The first title's by Cecil Castellucci, author of YA novels Boy Proof and The Queen of Cool. We're totally psyched about this...because we really dig graphic novels but often find they're extremely male-o-centric, you know---just obsessed with the issues of maladjusted boys...and it's about time maladjusted girls had their moment in the sun! (and yes, we know there's lots of manga out there...but a good ol' straight-ahead teen girl version of American Splendor would be SO AWESOME). Go Cecil!...(oh and yeah, we like the name "MINX" too...so saucy!)
