Today’s Riot Rec theme is: alternate dimensions! Any comic can take you to another world, but these ones go the extra mile.

Ultra Maniac Volume One by Wataru Yoshizumi
Nina might just be the strangest transfer student in history: not only did she transfer from another dimension, she is also an aspiring witch!

Don’t go running off to any other dimensions between now and Thursday, nerd friends, because you’ll definitely want to be here for the next edition of the Stack!
