Before Heartstopper, there was Breaks . . . the enemies-to-lovers queer webcomic sensation. Now publishing in three volumes, catch the complete series in print for the first time.
Ian and Cortland are all too aware that the bubble they've made for themselves can't last. Shifting relationships and tested friendships may be the least of their worries, though, as they learn more about each other and the pasts they'd rather leave behind. Familial legacy, fragile ambition and potentially devastating secrets; their budding relationship is going to need a stronger foundation than secrecy if they want to face what life has in store for them together.
With millions of views and thousands of subscribers on webcomic platforms, Breaks is perfect for fans of popular LGBTQ+ graphic novels, such as Alice Osman's Heartstopper, who might be looking for something darker and more mature.
'An overnight sensation'
BleedingCool.com (on Emma Vieceli)
'[BREAKS is] a series that does what few others dare to do'
A Place to Hang Your Cape
'Brutal and loving, authentically inspiring and authentically awful, Vieceli and Ryden's frenzy of a teen drama is seedy and transcendent and a must'
Kieron Gillen (The Wicked + The Divine/Young Avengers)
'Deftly observed, exquisitely paced and beautifully rendered, Vieceli and Ryden's BREAKS drips with all the teenage awkwardness, schoolyard viciousness and feelgood humour the subject deserves . . . Exceptional stuff'
Si Spurrier (Sandman-the Dreaming)
'I. Love. This. Book. Between the gorgeous art and expertly crafted story, Vieceli and Ryden's BREAKS is the kind of in-depth exploration of the heart my inner teenage voice considers necessary for survival. It's funny, awkward, and heartrending, but above all, BREAKS is genuine. It's everything a teen love story should be'
Christina Strain (Runaways/The Magicians)
'The kind of long-running queer romance we need'
