Hi guys! It's a been too long since my last update (sorry about that.)
I just read a fantastic independent graphic novel today, and it seemed like a great time to get back into the swing of blogging!
Nothing Can Possibly Go Wrong is a stand-alone graphic novel collaboration between Prudence Shen (as her first published work) and Faith Erin Hicks (whose art some of you may recognize from her popular online webcomics.) I couldn't find a good image of the cover online, so I snapped a photo for you at my desk of the paperback edition (complete with it's spot UV coating on the title!)

You wouldn’t expect Nate and Charlie to be friends. Charlie’s the laid-back captain of the basketball team, and Nate is the neurotic, scheming president of the robotics club. But they are friends, however unlikely — until Nate declares war on the cheerleaders, and the cheerleaders retaliate by making Charlie their figure-head in the ugliest class election campaign the school as ever seen. At stake? Student group funding that will either cover a robotics competition or new cheerleading uniforms — but not both.
Bad sportsmanship? Sure. Chainsaws? Why not! Nothing can possibly go wrong.
And guess what? The first part of the story is available here to read for free as a webcomic. So you really have no excuse not to check it out if my review intrigues you.
