Written by critically acclaimed author Gabby Rivera (America) with interior art, character design, and cover illustration by Royal Dunlap, this debut issue kicks off an empowering, Solarpunk-inspired coming-of-age journey across a fractured future America.

The upper trade dress features the BOOM! BOX imprint logo alongside issue marker #1 in white text on the left, creator credits (gabby rivera • royal dunlap) in the upper right, and the neon pink-and-white retro stylized series logo b.b. free stretched across the top header.
