Superbad meets Transformers in James Kochalka's next great graphic novel, with a genuine high-school sweetness mixed in with robot action, comedy, and plenty of fistfights. Two lovable dirtbag teens, tired of being bullied, build a robot battle suit to take revenge on their entire high school. But they never expected to become... kind of popular? Welcome to the love-child of Superbad, Carrie, Mean Girls, and Transformers . Experience the thrill of keg parties, gym class, bear attacks, first kisses, cafeteria trays, and car crashes... but with mechanical enhancement! It's an action-packed dark-comedy teen-romance for the ages, from Eisner-Award-winning cartoonist James Kochalka ( American Elf, SuperF*ckers, Johnny Boo, Glorkian Warrior ).

James Kochalka
Author · 52 books
James Kochalka is an American comic book artist and writer, and rock musician. His comics are noted for their blending of the real and the surreal. Largely autobiographical, Kochalka's cartoon expression of the world around him includes such real-life characters as his wife, children, cat, friends and colleagues, but always filtered through his own observations and flights of whimsy. In March 2011 he will be declared the cartoonist laureate of Vermont, serving a term of two years.
