Breaks Volume 2

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.

Emma Vieceli loves telling stories with pictures and believes that comics should be "For everyone, About anything, By anyone" (F.A.B). Starting out in comics as a hobbyist with UK publisher Sweatdrop, her first contracted graphic novel, Manga Shakespere: Hamlet with publisher Selfmadehero, launched her into a full-time career in comics in 2006. Since then, she has worked as an artist and writer across multiple publishers, genres and formats; winning the writers' Scribe award for best graphic novel with her Life in Strange comic series in 2022. Whether spies, vampires, superheroes or teenaged troublemakers, her work often focuses on human connection and matters of the heart.

Malin Ryden is the author of the bestselling interactive fiction books Fallen Hero: Rebirth and Fallen Hero: Retribution, as well as co-author of the critically acclaimed comic Breaks. With a background as a horror writer, she now explores the tangled webs of interpersonal relationships and the darker paths of the human psyche.
