At the New York Comic Con, Oni Press announced Super Punk, a new middle-grade graphic novel by Guilherme Petreca and Mirtes Santana.
After discovering her grandfather’s old cassette player, Violeta decides to play a cassette tape backward. (Why? It’s pure punk rebellion, duh!) What she didn’t know was that this rebellious act would grant her magical powers! Aaaaand . . . unleash monsters. A LOT of them. With the help of her faithful sidekick and fellow podcaster, Alan, Violeta will need to use her newfound superpowers to protect their home of Hollow Hills. But between homework, podcasting, and skateboarding, Violeta has a tough time managing it all. When a horde of monsters descend on her school, will this superpunk be able to save the day?
“We wanted to make a comic that feels like a punk mixtape – loud, full of heart, and carrying you until the very last beat,” said writer Mirtes Santana in a press release from Oni Press. “SUPERPUNK is a love letter to anyone who blasted loud songs, skipped homework for a skate session, and kept alive the fearless hope of being young and punk.”
Super Punk arrives in May 2026.
