DC LAUNCHES FIRST-LOOK TRAILER FOR UPCOMING YOUNG ADULT GRAPHIC NOVEL HARLEY QUINN: BREAKING GLASS

Penned by Eisner Award-Winning Author Mariko Tamaki with Art by Fan-Favorite Artist Steve Pugh, The New Title will be Available on September 3

Available for Pre-Order Now

“You wanna make change? You gotta be change!”

On September 3, the newest young adult graphic novel from DC’s Books for Young Readers Collection, HARLEY QUINN: BREAKING GLASS, will be available in comic and book stores nationwide. In anticipation of its upcoming release, DC today launched its trailer, giving fans a sneak peek of Harleen Quinzel and her family as they attempt to take down the Kane corporation. With themes around found family, gentrification and justice, the high-anticipated title is penned by Eisner Award and Caldecott Honor-winning author Mariko Tamaki (SUPERGIRL: BEING SUPER) and Eisner Award-nominated artist Steve Pugh (THE FLINTSTONES).



HARLEY QUINN: BREAKING GLASS is a coming-of-age story about choices, consequences, fairness, and progress and how a weird kid from Gotham's poorest part of town goes about defining her world for herself. Harleen is a tough, outspoken, rebellious kid who lives in a ramshackle apartment above a karaoke cabaret owned by a drag queen named Mama. When the cabaret becomes the next victim in the wave of gentrification that's taking over the neighborhood, Harleen is faced with two choices: join high school friend Ivy, who's campaigning to make the neighborhood a better place to live, or join The Joker, who plans to take down Gotham one corporation at a time.

To celebrate the upcoming launch, Tamaki will host signings in various cities, including the recently announced San Francisco book signing event at Dr. Comics & Mr. Games on August 31. New York residents will also have the opportunity to see Tamaki this weekend as she participates in two panels - The Great YA Debate and Sickening! Queer Horror Comics - at FlameCon in New York, NY. The fan-favorite writer is also scheduled to attend New York Comic-Con in October.

HARLEY QUINN: BREAKING GLASS is available to preorder now and will hit stores everywhere books are sold on September 3, 2019.

Book of the Week: Sci-Fi Thriller, Doyle’s Law

Doyle’s Law: Sci-Fi Thriller, a “Wild Ride”, Straps Readers into Space Station with Cosmos’ Most Irreverent Scientist Sam Roberts’ ‘Doyle’s Law’ is an intricate, cinematic new thriller that fuses intense paranoia and science fiction, told through the periscope of a bumbling, inept scientist attempting to fix the space station he has royally sabotaged. It’s a story in two parts, as time twists, plots tangle and the depths of human clumsiness become chillingly evident. One critic recently wrote, “This damn book cost me too much needed sleep. It was like a giant puzzle with all the pieces slowly making sense and fitting together. Well done, sir.” When most authors depict the crews of spaceships, they are painted as fearless, totally-in-control heroes using their wit and tenacity to achieve the unthinkable… …But Chief O’Connor, protagonist in Sam Roberts’ ‘Doyle’s Law’ is slightly less noble. In fact, his entire crew suspects him of sabotage and rampant buck-passing. As hostilities ri
