New Releases
Spy x Family Volume Nine by Tatsuya Endo
Everyone’s favorite fake family returns! Yor is working on a cruise ship (preparing to kill someone, naturally), unaware that the whole boat is covered in bombs. Can her fake husband and fake daughter save the woman whom they have truly come to care about?
Belle of the Ball by Mari Costa
Hawkins has a huge crush on her high school’s glamor girl, Regina — a fact that Regina mercilessly exploits by getting Hawkins to tutor her jock girlfriend, Chloe, free of charge. From there, a love triangle develops, and all three girls will ultimately be forced to reevaluate who it is they really want, and why.

Riot Recommendations
Today’s Riot Rec theme is: siblings! Can’t live with ’em, can’t live without ’em. But hopefully your siblings, like the ones in these comics, are there for you when the chips are really down!
Kyle’s Little Sister by BonHyung Jeong
Grace is nothing like her big brother Kyle. She’d be fine with that, if everyone didn’t insist on reminding her of that fact every single day! Things get worse when Grace starts attending the same middle school as the oh-so-popular Kyle. Can Grace ever get her friends and family to appreciate her for who she is?
Squished by Megan Wagner Lloyd and Michelle Mee Nutter
Avery has more siblings than she knows what to do with — and she wants out! All she wants is her own room where she can get some privacy and quiet, but that doesn’t seem to be an option. Instead, she has to contend with clingy younger siblings, a school art project, and a potential cross-country move! Will Avery ever carve out a place of her own?
Speaking of “squished,” Poppy loves to snuggle up with lots of blankets and pillows! Be comfy like Poppy!
