Just Another Summer is a Queer YA Romcom About First Love, Identity, and the Summer That Changed Everything

Posted on by Leave a comment

One summer, far from the Hollywood spotlight, two teen celebrities confront love, labor, and new possibilities they never expected… Mad Cave Studios’ YA imprint Maverick has announced Just Another Summer, a queer and trans-friendly romantic comedy from writers Tilly Bridges and Susan Bridges, featuring artwork by AoiG. and Giulia Rinaldo, with colors by Valentina Briski and lettering by Chas! Pangburn.

When scandal sidelines two LA teen celebrities, a punishment summer on a Montana farm forces them to trade red carpets for rubber boots—and to choose between the futures they were raised for and the loves they never saw coming.

Eager for a break from their brutal schedules as A-list actors, teen sisters Hayley and Becky Huxley sneak out to experience LA on their own terms. After a big mistake gets them fired from their gig on a hit TV show, they’re sent to a dairy farm in Montana to learn a little humility!

Sparks fly when they meet farm hand Jake, who can’t believe he has to babysit some pampered rich girls all summer! But Becky’s very into the cute girl at the local diner, and Hayley and Jake start to realize that they have more in common than they think. Even though she’s a cis city girl and he’s a trans country boy — they might just be falling for each other. But they’re from entirely different worlds, it could never work! …or could it?

Just Another Summer arrives in bookstores and comic shops on August 4, 2026.

Star Trek: Voyager – Homecoming #4

(W) Susan Bridges, Tilly Bridges (A) Ángel Hernández

Stuck between a rock and a hard place, Captain Janeway and the Voyager crew agree to ally with a collection of Borg deep in fluidic space, and Seven plunges into the collective. They may be Borg, but there’s something… strange about them. Something alluring. Especially when it comes to a particularly individualistic member, Nine. Together, Nine and Seven might be able to build a deflector and help their crew members escape back to normal space — but that’s assuming they stay hidden from Species 8472 bent on their elimination.

To save the Federation — and the entire Alpha Quadrant — Captain Janeway made the ultimate sacrifice: deleting Species 8472’s data on opening a singularity into normal space. Now, Voyager is stranded in fluidic space… and 8472 wants them dead.

Hunted by a relentless alien fleet, Janeway and her crew go on the run, weaving through planets and asteroid fields in a desperate bid to survive. But just as hope begins to fade, Voyager’s sensors detect something unexpected: the wreckage of a Borg cube.

Is it a lifeline back to the galaxy they call home… or the beginning of an even greater threat?

Moments before returning to Earth, the crew of Voyager are betrayed by insurgents hidden on board! With her ship’s deflector dish broken and the ship itself out of her control, Janeway must convince the aliens that Starfleet means them no harm if she’s ever going to get her found family home. If that weren’t enough to handle, there’s a ticking clock to contend with: Tuvok’s disease has accelerated, and he must get home to mind-meld with a family member to cure himself with Fal-tor-voh… before it’s too late!

Star Trek: Voyager – Homecoming #1 has the crew torn from coming home again for a new adventure

Star Trek: Voyager - Homecoming #1

Captain Kathryn Janeway and her crew are back for one last adventure in celebration of Voyager’s 30th anniversary! Picking up where the series finale left off, Voyager has just returned to Earth. Everyone is looking forward to reuniting with their friends and family after the crucibles they’ve faced—but there is a deadly secret in store, one that takes the crew far from home. Voyager delves back into the breach, all those aboard determined to make it back to their loved ones no matter what, even if there’s hell to pay. Star Trek: Voyager – Homecoming #1 pulls the reach of home away from the crew as the ship is hijacked.

When it comes to Star Trek, I’ll admit I’m more of a casual fan. I’ve seen all of the films, multiple times, but when it comes to television series, I’ve seen a lot but never an entire season of any of them, let alone the entire series. I watched when Star Trek: Voyager premiered on television and kept up for a while, but slowly dwindled in my viewing. I never saw the finale and while I know of the concept and main characters of the ship, I don’t know the full details of the adventure.

So, I went into Star Trek: Voyager – Homecoming #1 with a relatively fresh take knowing the basics. Even with those basics, it’s an enjoyable read as the issue toys with the concept of the series while bringing back some big bads for the fans.

Written by Susan Bridges and Tilly Bridges, Star Trek: Voyager – Homecoming #1 has the crew finally home but not is all right. While they look forward to reconnecting with their families and getting back to Earth, there’s also the specter of their trip and the rules and regulations broken during it all. The future is unknown for some of the crew and there’s many questions to be answered with Starfleet. But, all of that is on hold as a mysterious force has infiltrated the ship with plans to take it over.

There’s no need to wait for another issue to find out who’s behind everything as Star Trek: Voyager – Homecoming #1 reveals all ending the issue with the crew once again pulled away from home. The villains, I can’t really say much about them, but seems like fans of the television series will have more of a connection with them. That’s the only real negative about the issue, it does require a little knowledge for the reveal of the villain to hit home and have a major impact. Without that, it doesn’t quite have the dread as I think it was going for.

The art by Angel Hernandez is good. Hernandez is joined by Charlie Kirchoff on color and Neil Uyetake handles the lettering. It all looks solid with the characters on the page looking like the actors on the screen. The comic does a solid balance of the more slice of life type moments, some good tension, and then a bit of action towards the end. There’s a visual build throughout and the art nails down the unease of what’s going on throughout the issue.

Star Trek: Voyager – Homecoming #1 is an entertaining debut. While you don’t need to be a fan of Voyager to really get it, it does help. Still, even those with just a vague familiarity with Star Trek and Voyager will be able to hop in and appreciate the story of a crew so close to getting home but that moment of happiness being stolen away.
