Media Release -- This arc of NUTMEG collects the first six issues of a coming-of-age story about baking, friendship and crime. Poppy and Cassia become fast friends when they decide to upstage Saffron at her brownie-baking game. By using a questionable ingredient, the two are on the path to success... except their secret ingredient creates a lot more problems than it solves.
Fans of stories like Nancy Drew and Betty & Veronica will enjoy the adventures of Poppy and Cassia in NUTMEG. According to Comic Spectrum, "This is the kind of comic we need more of; intelligent, accessible and creative that is perfect for getting young adults into reading comics."
The successful Kickstarter hardcover, featuring 160 pages of content, is coming to a comic book shelf near you on September 26th, 2018. Pre-order NUTMEG with the Diamond item code JUL181436.
