The College Try #[nn]

From Mad Cave Studios' Maverick imprint comes The College Try, a 2026 original graphic novel with an irresistibly warm, youthful energy. Roberta Ingranata's cover brings together three distinct young women standing their ground below a larger, dreamy portrait of a fourth — a girl with a red headband whose confident, half-lidded gaze seems to float above it all — while a fifth figure leaps joyfully into the air, arms wide open, at the center of the composition. Writer Olivia Cuartero-Briggs leads a talented all-credited team, with Warnia Sahadewa's soft pastel palette and Jodie Troutman's lettering rounding out what looks like a genuinely heartfelt story about young women finding their footing.
