Mary Sue #5

Mary Sue #5 from BOOM! Box brings this vibrant series to its penultimate chapter with a cover by Lisa Sterle that's a genuine feast for the eyes. At the center stands a glasses-wearing young woman clutching a "CONFIDENTIAL" diary stamped with a bold "BITE ME," surrounded by a swirling collage of characters — a glamorous blonde in a corset, a warrior woman, a brooding guy with a coffee mug, a worried girl in pink, and others — all framed by the word "RIVERVIEW" and a buzzing flip phone reading "SOS Jessica, it's real!" Sterle's candy-colored, sticker-book aesthetic makes this feel like a love letter to fanfic culture and genre mashups, and 2026 couldn't be a better time for it.
