It's nighttime at a punk show in San Antonio. A floppy haired blonde boy with a bloody nose & lip sits on a ledge, looking up longingly at the person tending his wounds. She's just as tall standing as he is sitting down. Over her gut, a reddish black void starts to form. Narration: Why did I think I could stand a chance against him? With so little effort, he turned my world upside down. It was as if a black hole opened...deep...deep...in my gut. She tilts his chin. His face is drenched in blood. Their lips are close. Narration: I wanted him. I wanted everything he had.

A comic book page from SWEET REVENGE, a romcom graphic novel by Victoria Grace Elliott coming out in 2027. An iridescent beaded curtain is opening to reveal a long-haired boy in a fur-lined leather coat singing karaoke to Photograph by Def Leppard. Alex, the main character, peers at him from behind the beaded curtain in horror. Her best friend leans over to whisper "Isn't that...HIM?" The karaoke room is full of their mutual friends, cheering him on and encouraging Alex to join him. "Finally! Alex, get up there!" Suddenly, something clicks for the boy singing karaoke. "'Alex'...?" His face is obscured as he turns to face the main character. The page is left on a suspenseful note.
A page about the history of Green Bean Casserole from TASTY: A HISTORY OF YUMMY EXPERIMENTS by Victoria Grace Elliott. The sprite narrator Peri guides us. "In reality, [frozen meals] weren't as popular as their companies wanted them to be." Her expression turns sarcastic. "As it turns out, a lot of people still liked cooking. Wow." She stands on a Cambpell's recipe book. "Campbell's figured this out during its early years. In the 50s, the company began debuting casserole recipes with their soups as the key ingredient." A banner reads GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE • 1955. Peri stands next to a Cambpell's soup can, a bottle of soy sauce, a picture of Dorcas Reilly, and a steaming hot green bean casserole in a cute kitschy red casserole dish. She's licking her lips and taking a deep whiff of the savory dish. "Chefs in the Campbell's lab developed all kinds of recipes featuring these soups. In 1955, Dorcas Reilly created this soon-to-be holiday favorite using ingredients a home could would probably already have at home. This recipe used two key canned ingredients: cream of mushroom soup and green beans. So simple and delicious, people still make it today!"
Christian, the male lead of the YA romance graphic novel Please Be My Star, is in an argument with his childhood friend, Paola. He tilts his head back and with uncharacteristic condescension asks Paola "What the fuck do you know about me?" Paola, holding her tiny dog, is taken aback. As her eyes well up with tears, her puppy licks her face to comfort her. She proudly tries to hold back from crying. "Fine. Okay." She turns away, looking up to keep the tears from falling. "You're right. I don't know you."
a dreamy comic page from balderdash! or, a tale of two witches, in which one of the titular witches is descending from a staircase holding a cake in her hands. it's a very simple looking chocolate ganache red vevelt cake, but the young witch is moved to tears. The narration reads "Suddenly, it struck her...how completely ordinary this cake looked."

A cute boy brightly smiles & tilts his head, he's introducing himself to the main character. "I'm Christian." [ I know. I've drawn you so many times. ] the narrator, Erika, thinks to herself. Erika's friend Julie looks at the spread of comics and snacks on the ground in the circle of friends. "You, uh, like comics?" Erika, gripping her fists, looks excited. "I love them." Julie's expression is sarcastic "Of course you do." "Nice. What kinda stuff do you read?" Christian asks. Erika thinks about her favorites. "Ah, well, lots of manga, some webtoons, and lately I've been into old Batman comics." Miguel, another new friend in the circle, approves with a deadpan expression, eyes still glued to his phone. "Oh, hell yeah."

Christian, her crush, exiting the stage, looks confused, wondering what Julie is pointing to.
