Morning Glories Goes Back to School

While it may be July, there's still time for school. Getting homework done, going to class, dealing with insane events at your school. Dealing with those events will happen sooner than you think, thanks to an early return of Morning Glories from Nick Spencer and Joe Eisma. The fifth TPB collecting the "Tests" story arc will hit stores August 28, while Morning Glories #30 starts the new arc "Demerits" on the same day.

"We've all been amazed and pleasantly surprised by the explosion in new readers we've seen over this last arc — it was important to us to keep that momentum going,” said writer Spencer. “After the climactic events of 'Tests', the new arc ‘Demerits' is really our opportunity to go back and take a closer look at some of our cast members, and see how all this has impacted their lives. It's a character-driven arc that answers some questions while introducing new mysteries at the same time."

Following the new arc, the highly anticipated second Morning Glories Deluxe Edition hardcover will be released in September, collecting issues #13-25, which are also collected in the third and fourth volumes of the trade paperbacks. The Deluxe Edition will take readers further into the world of Morning Glories, with sketches, character designs, cover galleries and more.
