Last year saw the release of Mary Sue, a 5-issue miniseries published by BOOM! Studios from the creative team of writer Meghan Fitzmartin and fan-favorite illustrator Lisa Sterle. The trade paperback collection is set for release for later this summer and The Beat has an exclusive preview.
The series follows a young fanfic writer named Cassie and her own original character based on her favorite vampire show who somehow enters reality.
Here’s the official synopsis:
Fiction collides with reality when a teen fanfic writer’s vampire OC comes to life in this young adult graphic novel. Written by the screenwriter of one of fandom’s most popular series, Supernatural!
Cassie has a thriving online life writing vampire fanfic of her favorite show, but when her secret identity is exposed at school, things go from awkward to atypical—especially when Jessica, her hot vampire original character, steps out of the story and into the real world.
From acclaimed screenwriter and comics writer Meghan Fitzmartin (Tim Drake: Robin, Supernatural), and popular artist, Lisa Sterle (Squad), Mary Sue is a hilarious and heartfelt collision of fandom and fantasy all in one genre-bending series.
Check out a preview from the Mary Sue trade paperback below.
Mary Sue will be available everywhere books are sold on August 11.
