    i cannot put into words how much i am looking forward to Niki's new book. This cover is stunning and this comic is going to be incredible.

    The Golden Hour is about a boy dealing with PTSD after witnessing gun violence. It’s also about being a quiet, anxious, queer kid in rural Kansas... It’s about finding friends, and first crushes, and trying to be brave.
