I Love Trouble - Softcover

A former stripper and teenage runaway, Felicia Castro’s no angel. No matter how far she runs, though, trouble always seems to find her. While trying to escape gangsters who she ripped off, Felicia discovers she has the power to teleport when she mysteriously survives a plane crash unscathed. Suddenly, this small-time grifter with nothing to lose has something that everyone wants. Now, the gangsters want her to use her power to pay them back and then some, and a mysterious organization called the Mars Corporation wants to train her to become a political assassin. The question is: What does Felicia want for herself? Robinson and Stockman’s street-art inspired exaggerated figures and soft-focus coloring recall Rob Guillory’s expressive line work in Chew. This stylized urban tale of the adventures of a sassy, imperfect, and mentally ill antihero would appeal to adult fans of Frank Miller’s Sin City, Scott Snyder’s American Vampire, or Denise Mina’s graphic novel The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2012). --Candice Mack
