Friends of Lulu recently spoke with Jennifer de Guzman about various topics related to women and comics. During the interview, Jennifer reveals some information on Faith Erin Hicks’ next project:
We’re doing our second graphic novel with Faith Erin Hicks, The War at Ellsmere. She really skyrocketed after the publication of Zombies Calling last year, and it’s been one of our best-selling graphic novels lately. Ellsmere again focuses on female characters, this time freshmen at an elite girls’ boarding school. It deals with bullying and friendship and fostering your gifts. I was really excited when she pitched it because I’ve been thinking a girls’ boarding school comic would be great for a while now.

Hicks’ Zombies Calling was a lot of fun, and at its best when she was focusing on the interaction between the characters. I’m looking forward to this.
