365 Days of Books of Interest: Day #216: Joyride vol #1

I will be honest once I found out Marcus To was the artist for this book, I knew I had to read it. I love his artwork, he's one of my favorite artists.

The art isn't the only reason I would like to read this, the description seems fun and different. I can't wait to give this a read.

Book: Joyride volume #1 by Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly with illustrations by Marcus To

Publication: September 27, 2016

Description:

Earth Sucks. Steal a Spaceship.

Earth sucks. The stars have been blocked out for so long that people have forgotten there was anything else besides the World Government Alliance watching over them. Uma Akkolyte is a girl who shoots first, leaps before she looks, and is desperate for any means to leave her planet behind. And so she does. When Uma jacks an alien spaceship and punches through the stratosphere she sets forth on an adventure with an unlikely crew who are totally not ready for all the good, bad, and weird the universe will throw at them.

From writers Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly and artist Marcus To, Joyride is a rebellious love letter to the sci-fi genre, exploring what happens when nothing stands between a group of teens and their freedom amongst the stars.
