Nothing Special, Volume Two [A Graphic Novel]

Follow Callie, Declan, Lasser, and Radish as they embark on a new adventure in the second installment of the hit Webtoon series Nothing Special, featuring new, exclusive behind-the-scenes material from the inimitable Katie Cook.

“Smart, sweet, and totally original, Nothing Special is sure to captivate.” —Sarah Andersen, New York Times bestselling author of Fangs, Sarah’s Scribbles, and Cryptid Club

After defeating her neurotic wood nymph mother, all Callie wants to do is help her dad with his magical antique shop, tease Lasser about his newfound romance novel addiction, and—most important—spend time with her boyfriend, Declan. But when Declan’s injured fairy wing starts shooting sparks and causes him to collapse in pain, Callie decides to take matters into her own hands and find a way to heal him.

She knows where to start, at least—with her dad’s boring friend, Professor Larkspur, who in addition to serving the grossest cup of tea in history, is a fairy himself and incredibly knowledgeable about his kind. Armed with new information, Callie, Declan, Lasser, and Radish set out to find a fairy healer. But what starts as a simple four-day journey to visit a particular enclave of fairies ends up becoming a much more profound exploration of not only what Declan is, but exactly who he is to the fairies….

The second installment of Katie Cook’s Nothing Special collects the first 25 chapters of Season 2 of the webcomic and features exclusive behind-the-scenes content.

Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.

In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.

The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
