Side Effects – Volume

In recognition of World Mental Health Day on October 10th, Seismic Press is proud to an-nounce SIDE EFFECTS, winner of Pop Culture Classroom’s Excellence in Graphic Literature in the Young Adult category, is getting a SECOND PRINTING! Hannah’s dealing with a lot in her first year of college and to make matters worse, she’s also battling her own brain, in the form of anxiety and depression. Fortunately, her therapist has put her on some meds to help, but those meds cause some unintended side effects, like sleepless nights, pounding headaches or, in Hannah’s case, superpowers. Now, on top of juggling tests and dates, Hannah has to deal with occasionally shooting lightning bolts from her fingers or reading her girlfriend’s mind. Maybe she’s supposed to be a superhe-ro, but all she wants to do is make it through the year in one piece. Written by Ted Anderson (My Little Pony, Adventure Time: Beginning of the End, ORPHAN AGE, MOTH AND WHISPER) and illustrated by Tara O’Connor (Fly By Night, Roots, Puddles) comes a personal story about mental health and what it takes to find yourself again.
