Shade, the Changing Girl #1

This volume collects the first six issues of the 2017 Young Animal series, introducing Loma Shade, a maddeningly emotional alien from the planet Meta who steals the madness-inducing coat of the original Shade and flees to Earth, where she inhabits the body of teen bully Megan Boyer. As Loma navigates high school life and the chaotic effects of the coat, she encounters remnants of the original Shade's legacy, including the alien Cryll and the transformed Element Girl. The story reimagines classic DC characters like the Space Ranger and Rick Starr in a surreal, psychedelic exploration of identity and empathy.
