Misfit City #1

[history79]

"Kurt’s favorite movie is The Goonies, but I was never obsessed with it because it wasn’t female-centric enough for me. So the idea of giving girls their own treasure-hunting adventure with this kind of meta spin is a chance to do something boundary-breaking and just freaking FUN."

- Kiwi Smith

"The book is influenced by The Goonies, sure, but also movies like The Monster Squad, Explorers, and Raiders of the Lost Ark. I think we both really appreciate the tactile feel of those '80s adventure movies and that's something we wanted to evoke with Misfit City -- although, as Kiwi said, this time with a cast of girls who get to have their own adventure."

- Kurt Lustgarten

It feels like progress that the obnoxious bullies are also multi-ethnic (and may include a gay couple?). We can all be jerks now!

This looks gorgeous. I love the art and that alone is a reason to buy this.

This looks really good.

Not being a fan of The Goonies (Heresy to Americans I know, I just found most of them obnoxious as hell) I have higher hopes for this.
