CRISIS!

It's a CRISIS! Watch our cast of queer cuties figure it out as they navigate the ever-widening margins of society, candidly portraying the lived experiences of a generation.

Mayra and Dania are codependent besties and roommates living in New York City, where they experience a year in their early twenties full of drama, broke-ness, and first adult attempts at love.

In this quarter-life coming of age story, the girls try to find themselves against a backdrop of rising rent prices, global news stories, and heavy family legacies, all while talking shit with their girls and trying to be cute for the next Saturday night summons to the club.

A story of friendship and family, chosen or otherwise, our duo navigate the messiness and uncertainty of young adulthood with humor and style. Drawn with detailed ink cityscapes and bubblegum pink, Salvadoran-American cartoonist Julia Mata expertly sets the vibe in her debut graphic novel.
