And MOONLIGHTERS #3 and THE WENDY PROJECT.
“Writer Melissa Jane Osborne has created a compelling and profound exploration of grief and trauma in this curious interpretation of J.M. Barrie’s Peter Pan, but it’s Fish who turns the graphic novel into a can’t miss work of art.”
From queer bounty hunters to … a shirtless bear fighter?
“You’ll thrill to Fish’s linework and facial acting and you’ll swoon for Osborne’s vivid characterization of a girl struggling to separate fact from fiction while navigating trauma. Plus, it has one of the best covers of any comic book this year. I mean come on, look at that thing! It’s hypnotic!”
In a world of constant reboots and reimaginings it might be easy to dismiss a comic that retells the story of Peter Pan in a modern setting. But with The Wendy Project, creators Melissa Jane Osborne and Veronica Fish have created an incredible exploration of grief, family, imagination, and mental health. We have an exclusive sneak peak of the brand new graphic novel right here including some incredible process pages. The book's publisher, Papercutz, describes this inventive take on the classic tale: "16-year-old Wendy Davies crashes her car into a lake on a late summer night in New England with her two younger brothers in the backseat. When she wakes in the hospital, she is told that her youngest brother, Michael, is dead. Wendy--a once rational teenager--shocks her family by insisting that Michael is alive and in the custody of a mysterious flying boy. Placed in a new school, Wendy negotiates fantasy and reality as students and adults around her resemble characters from Neverland.
Maybe the final month of summer isn’t so bad after all.
“Fish’s dynamic poses and otherworldly collages makes The Wendy Project well worth another trip second star to the right.” – Sean Edgar, Paste
Youth has always been a cultural target, but countless think pieces and breathless cries of what millennials have “killed” cast a new shadow on what expectations are heaped on the generation that’s inheriting a slew of problems. Trust Ales Kot to thrust this perspective to the forefront of a comic, with a double-sized issue to launch Generation Gone #1 (Image Comics). This isn’t the first story to give a group of fictional, disaffected young people superpowers and release them into the world, but Kot makes a statement that is both broad and very specific with his version.
“Osborne and Fish deliver a heartrending YA drama with this graphic novel, showcasing how the building blocks of a fairy tale can be reassembled into something new and enlightening.” – Oliver Sava, AV Club
THE WENDY PROJECT OGN Written by Melissa Jane Osborne Art by Veronica Fish Published by Papercutz Release Date: July 18, 2017 To live would be an awfully big adventure. From its first page, The Wen…
“This comic is an excellent exploration of something we cannot always fully know, but that affects us in varying ways. The Wendy Project is an excellent addition to any library and could be a vital tool in helping children, adolescents, and adults learn to process their own difficult emotions.” – Allen Thomas, Comicality
What makes The Wendy Project amazing is its new perspective not on Peter Pan but Wendy, who in much different than the practical but imaginative original.
“That’s what makes The Wendy Project so amazing; it takes a new perspective not on Peter Pan, the character who has been subject to so many incarnations, but on Wendy, who has never strayed far from an imaginative yet practical girl whose greatest strength is how much she cares about other people.”
Hitting today, THE WENDY PROJECT draws on J.M. Barrie's PETER PAN to explore questions of the self and coping with loss.
Melissa Jane Osborne, the writer of The Wendy Project offers a wonderful list…
Each month, we round up the most interesting comics, graphic novels, web and digital comics that we recommend you check out.
“While Osborne has written a touching and contemplative work, Fish has turned it into career-making work. Her use of vibrant splashes of color amidst mostly black and white sketches represents pieces of Neverland that work their way into Wendy’s reality, making this book feel as magical as it is melancholy.”
What I can tell you is you are loved. I know you don't want to hear that, but you are.
“You’re eighteen years old. You’re lying on the bathroom floor. I know that you’re so overwhelmed with emotion that you can’t feel anything. I know that you can’t see past this moment, let alone going to college. I know you feel empty, that you can’t breathe, but you’ll get up and you will.”

You’re 16-years old and recovering from a tragic car accident. Everyone tells you that your brother is dead but you keep seeing visions of him being carried in to the clouds by a mysterious flying boy. And the visions don’t stop there. You see shadowy figures, pirates, other worlds. Are you going crazy?
“Created by Melissa Jane Osborne (Campus Crush) and featuring stunning artwork by Veronica Fish (now the lead artist on Archie), THE WENDY PROJECT is a new take on the Peter Pan story and a coming of age tale with just the right amount of magic. Readers will be drawn to the compelling story and will empathize with Wendy as she seeks to answer the all-important question – is her journal just the imaginings of a troubled teen … or is it a portal to another world?“
In this heart-wrenching graphic novel, a teen girl responsible for her younger brother's death must decide to accept the harsh reality or lose herself in escapist denial.
Experience the magic for yourself! The Wendy Project will be available everywhere, beginning tomorrow.
