Hello again! By the time you read this, I will be back from a week-long stay in Disney World! (The past three newsletters, including this one, were all submitted super early, so if I missed any huge comics news, sorry about that.) Now it’s time to return to the real world and talk about comics featuring anthropomorphic animals, alien/human hybrids, and moon people!

Riot Recommendations
Today’s Riot Rec theme is: graduation! ‘Tis the season, and while graduation ceremonies are unfortunately going to look very different for some students this year, new grads should still be proud of their academic accomplishments!
King Cheer by Molly Horton Booth, Stephanie Kate Strohm, and Jamie Green
As her graduation looms, Leah is overwhelmed with doubt and uncertainty, so she decides to give up captaining the cheer squad to attend to “more important” matters. When the squad’s new leaders start to make Leah’s old team miserable, can Leah step up to set things right?
Blue Beetle: Graduation Day by Josh Trujillo and Adrian Gutierrez
Jaime Reyes, alias the Blue Beetle, is now a college graduate, but he and his friends have other things on their minds — like being sidelined by the Justice League in the middle of an alien invasion. The above link goes to the English version, but you can buy this book in Spanish, too. It’s a good way to keep up with your Spanish now that you don’t have to go to class!
See you next time, nerd friends!
