Presenting an enthralling YA graphic novel by acclaimed author E. Lockhart (known for Genuine Fraud and We Were Liars) and talented artist Manuel Preitano (renowned for The Oracle Code). This captivating narrative introduces a new superhero in Gotham City. The protagonist, sixteen-year-old Willow Zimmerman, is determined to be heard. Aside from participating in street protests against City Hall's neglect of her dilapidated Gotham neighborhood, she works night shifts at the local dog shelter. However, despite her numerous contributions to the world around her, she struggles to care for her ailing mother at home. Willow has no time for romantic entanglements (though she harbors a fondness for a certain someone) and lacks the means to adopt the incredibly loyal stray Great Dane, Lebowitz, who faithfully follows her. With dwindling finances and the absence of health insurance, a desperate Willow reconnects with a estranged family friend, E. Nigma – a party promoter and real estate tycoon. Nigma presents Willow with an opportunity for an easier life, offering her a new job as the hostess at his extravagant private poker nights attended by Gotham City's elite. Consequently, Willow can now afford crucial medical treatments for her mother and experience the opulence that has always eluded her. Nonetheless, everything takes a drastic turn when Willow and Lebowitz are confronted by Killer Croc, one of Gotham's most monstrous villains. After a fierce battle, they awaken with the ability to comprehend one another. Moreover, Willow discovers that she possesses extraordinary powers she had never dared to imagine. As she uncovers the fact that Nigma and his poker associates are, in truth, some of Gotham's most corrupt criminals, Willow is faced with a crucial decision: remain faithful to the man who saved her mother's life or employ her newfound powers to rescue her beleaguered community.
