The Rocketeer storms the City by the Bay!\n
With Betty about to start work on a new film, Cliff and Peevy join the aspiring starlet on a trip to San Francisco, where they liaise with fellow pilot and friend (and government operative) Debbie Seville. As always, trouble seems to follow Cliff, who gets caught up in a cable car accident! But at least it'll be all smooth sailing after that, right? Not if the Rocketeer's luck stays true to form!\n

\nDISCUSSION\n

YOUTH GROUP\n
\nWriter: Jordan Morris\n
\nActor: Bown McCurdy\n
\nPublisher: First Second\n
\nRelease Date: July 16, 2024\n
When cynical, gothy Kay lets her mom talk her into joining the youth group at their church, she's prepared for the dorky sing-alongs and the cheesy slogans about dodging temptation. What she isn't prepared for is walking in on the clean-cut youth group leaders, Meg and Cortland, in the middle of a real-deal exorcism.

\n\n

Turns out these wholesome Christian teens are demon-hunting soldiers in a secret war that\u2019s heating up fast, and even if Kay wanted to stay on the sidelines, she doesn\u2019t have a choice \u2013 she\u2019s a \u201cBlight,\u201d a human who demons can\u2019t possess, and that makes her a target.

\n\n

But Kay's in good hands with her new friends \u2013 for them, fighting literal demons is all in a Sunday\u2019s work!
