"A thrilling tale of found family discovered between lines of
code."--Sara Alfageeh, co-creator of Squire
WELCOME TO EVOL HOUSE...
It may look to the unwitting outsider like a broken-down ranch house in
the Ohio suburbs--but to those in the know, Evol House is the unexpected
sanctuary of truant teens, punk rockers, nerds, and outcasts. At least,
that's what it's supposed to be. Lately, it feels like everything's
falling apart.
In this thrilling sequel to graphic novel Incredible Doom: Volume 1,
Samir finds that life as a teenage runaway isn't all he thought it would
be; Allison spirals trying to impress her new "friends", Tina considers
leaving town to follow a passionate new connection; and Richard faces
down a volatile classmate with a score to settle.
Can these friendships, forged on the internet--the most controversial
tool of the modern era--survive the "real world"... or will they drop
like a bad connection?
