Fanboy, though, has a secret: a graphic novel he s been working on without telling anyone, a graphic novel that he is convinced will lead to publication, fame, and most important of all a way out of the crappy little town he lives in and all the people that make it hell for him.

When Fanboy meets Kyra, a.k.a. Goth Girl, he finds an outrageous, cynical girl who shares his love of comics as well as his hatred for jocks and bullies. Fanboy can t resist someone who actually seems to understand him, and soon he finds himself willing to heed her advice to ignore or crush anyone who stands in his way.

When Ryoko falls in love with Marissa Montaigne, the most beautiful girl in the school, his eyes turn to hearts and comic tension tightens as his way of being drawn and expressing himself clashes with this different Western world in which he is stuck. ‘Panel holed’ for being different, Ryoko has to figure out how to get back to his manga world, back through the Rip…
all while he has hearts for eyes for a girl from the wrong kind of comic book.
