From New York Times bestselling author E. Lockhart (Genuine Fraud,
We Were Liars) and artist Manuel Preitano (The Oracle Code) comes a
new Gotham City superhero in this exciting YA graphic novel.
Sixteen-year-old Willow Zimmerman has something to say. When she's not
on the streets protesting City Hall's neglect of her run-down Gotham
neighborhood, she's working nights at the local dog shelter. But despite
how much she does for the world around her, she's struggling to take
care of her sick mother at home. She's got no time for boys (though
there's one she really likes), and no means to adopt the amazingly loyal
stray Great Dane, Lebowitz, that follows her around.
Without health insurance and with money running out, a desperate Willow
reconnects with an estranged family friend E. Nigma--party promoter, and
real estate tycoon. Nigma opens the door to an easier life, offering
Willow a new job hosting his glamorous private poker nights with Gotham
City's elites. Now Willow is able to afford critical medical treatments
for her mother and get a taste of the high life she's never had.
Then everything changes: Willow and Lebowitz are attacked by one of
Gotham's most horrific villains, the monstrous Killer Croc. When they
wake after the fight, they can understand each other. And Willow has
powers she never dreamed of.
When Willow discovers that Nigma and his poker buddies are actually some
of Gotham's most corrupt criminals, she must make a choice: remain loyal
to the man who saved her mother's life, or use her new powers to save
her community.
