Summary

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).
