My Brain Hurts #1

by Liz Baillie

Liz created a series of an ongoing tales rendered through beautiful artwork with strong characters, while clearly demonstrating her storytelling ability. In this issue, we meet Kate and Joey, two teenage best friends, both into punk rock and living in New York City. Shy Kate worries that she might have a crush on a girl after a game of spin the bottle, while flamboyant Joey confronts his homophobic father with unexpected results. Her characters are easy to identify with, regardless of your gender or sexual preference.
