Description

When a new skater joins a roller derby team, she’s thrown into a world where bruises are badges and every bout demands heart, grit, and teamwork. In this opening volume, friendship is tested and heartbreak hits hard as rivalries flare, loyalties shift, and the team’s “epic jams” become both a proving ground and a lifeline. Blending fast-paced action with sharply observed character drama, the story explores resilience, self-discovery, and what it really means to show up for the people who matter. With Pamela Ribon’s witty, emotionally honest storytelling and Veronica Fish’s dynamic art, this collection (issues #1–4) delivers a high-energy start to a series about learning to fall, get back up, and skate forward together.
