Incredible Doom is a compulsively readable YA graphic novel about unlikely alliances, daring escapes, stage magic, young love, and minor crime sprees all squeezed over dial-up modem connections in the early days of the internet.
It’s the dawn of a new age…the age of the internet.
Allison is drowning under the weight of her manipulative stage magician father. When he brings home the family’s first computer, she escapes into a thrilling new world where she meets Samir, a like-minded new online friend who has just agreed to run away from home with her.
After moving to a new town and leaving all of his friends behind, Richard receives a mysterious note in his locker with instructions on how to connect to “Evol BBS,” a dial-in bulletin board system, and meets a fierce punk named Tina who comes into his life and shakes his entire world view loose.
