The web comic sensation about magical girls by acclaimed illustrator Geneva Bowers, now in a beautiful print edition, featuring an expanded storyline and revised art! Jalissa and Kim Vasquez are cousins who move to the city of Los Aguaceros together. Kim dreams of becoming a famous model and fashion designer, while Jalissa is just trying to hold herself together after a breakdown the year before. When a curious incident on the beach leaves them with supernatural powers and monsters start attacking the city, Kim decides that using their powers to stop them is the perfect way for them to become famous. But being heroes isn't as easy as it seems--and Los Aquaceros is in more danger than they imagine. This beautifully illustrated and hilarious YA graphic novel began as a web comic and quickly became a WEBTOON sensation. This print edition features an expanded story and updated art, offering something for new and old fans alike!

2 ⭐I am sad to say but Hovergirls is a DNF. The main character Kim is so annoying. I cannot take it anymore. Kim and her best friend are moving to the city. Kim is very bubbly a bit of an airhead and very much into fashion and boys and not caring about anything else. Her best friend is more standoffish and socially awkward. But can they make themselves into superheroes and get the publicity Kim wants. The reason this book is a DNF is because

LibrarianRyan of how airheaded Kim sees. I really hope she finds the strong person underneath by the end of the book, but I don‘t care to wait the next hundred pages to find out. The other thing I don‘t like is there is a size difference in these two girls and Kim is on the heavier side. The outfits they draw her in art extremely cute and I love that. The way Kim be behaves and the way others treat her is stereotypical of a larger size woman, and not in a good 3w
LibrarianRyan way. The boys that use her because she allows it is one of the things that I find most annoying. And her other qualities while also annoying are not cute enough to bring a redemption for the other. I really wanted to like this book based on the cover, but I‘m sorry it‘s not worth the time to finish it.

Kim & Jalissa are trying to balance their new move to LA, trying to fulfill their dreams, & suddenly having unexplained powers over water as an army of flying fish attacks.

This was an absolutely adorable comic! The art style was so gorgeous, almost watercolor like! The characters were interesting, but I wanted to know more. Everyone felt flat until we started to get their backstory which really started fleshing out the characters. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
