Preview: Unlikely Teenage Friends Roll With The Punches In ‘Jo & Rus’

by Brendan M. Allen

With fans of Lumberjanes and Stargazing in mind, BOOM! Studios releases new middle grade graphic novel Jo & Rus this week. Cartoonist Audra Winslow pens the tale about two unlikely best friends who learn to roll with the punches when life doesn’t go their way. 

‘Jo and Rus don’t realize how much they have in common – she’s a middle schooler who’s constantly bullied and he’s a high schooler in a rock band. But when a mysterious one-eyed cat brings them together, they quickly learn they’re both outcasts trying to figure out what they really want from life in a world where the odds are stacked against them. Now they’ll discover who they are, who they want to be and what it takes for every one of us to find our own happiness!’

Jo & Rus OGN SC drops under the KaBOOM! imprint this Wednesday February 10, 2021. Check out the preview pages below.
