The Detention Crew

By Jen Soska

The complete Detention Crew--Parts 1 and 2 in one hardcover, plus a bonus cover gallery. From Jen Soska and Sylvia Soska, the kids who thought they were alone meet the war that was waiting for them.

Death Defier's team thought they were the only kids the world was hiding. They weren't. Collected in one volume for the first time, the complete debut story follows Midas, Witch, Cupid, Swarm, and Dogma from training to revelation: Mr. Wonderful and his own six prodigies, the truth that all of them are The Twelve, and the night Mr. Nightmare arrives, the sky turns red, and a dead world starts pouring into theirs.

Set in New New York and Old Chicago--a corner of the Rippaverse far from Florespark--this is the line's young-adult flagship: grounded character work, supernatural dread, and a team of kids who have to grow up mid-war. For readers who met the crew in the single issues, the hardcover is the keeper edition; for new readers, it's the whole story in one sitting, no homework required. The hardcover collects both parts in full with a bonus gallery of covers from the series.

From Jen Soska and Sylvia Soska, with interior art by Matteo Lucchetti and colors by Michael Woods. Letters by The Invisible Art Studio. Hardcover, on sale 2/9/27.
