"JONESY #1\\n
Writer: Sam Humphries\\n
Artist; Caitlin Rose Boyle\\n
Jonesy is a self-described ""cool dork"" who spends her time making zines nobody reads, watching anime, and listening to riot grrrl bands and 1D simultaneously. But she has a secret nobody knows. She has the power to make people fall in love! Anyone. With anything. She\'s a cupid in plaid. With a Tumblr. There\'s only one catch\\u2014it doesn\'t work on herself. She\'s gonna have to find love the old-fashioned way, and in the meantime, figure out how to distract herself from the real emotions she inevitably has to face when her powers go wrong..."""\\n
