Steven Universe: Too Cool for School #[nn]
In "Too Cool for School," Steven Universe steps into Connie’s world of structured classrooms and rigid routines, where his easygoing spirit meets unexpected friction. When he brings a curious conch shell to class, its hidden presence sets off a quiet but unsettling ripple—something ancient and wrong stirring beneath the surface. Written by Jeremy Sorese and Ian Jones-Quartly, with vibrant art by Asia Kendrick-Horton and inks by Rachel Dukes and Kendrick-Horton, this 2016 issue captures a moment of innocent chaos, colored with Leigh Luna and Andy Leigh’s expressive palette. The cover by Rosemary Valero-O'Connell perfectly frames Steven’s wide-eyed curiosity against the school’s stern backdrop.
