"...The enormously talented Donner is unafraid of taking risks with Burnout, and it pays off, with a cautionary, edgy and unputdownable story. Grade: A." --Randy Myers San Jose Mercury News / Oakland Tribune / Contra Costa Times Read the entire review here.
"Burnout," written by Rebecca Donner and illustrated by Inaki Miranda (Minx, $9.99, 148 pages). You can always count on a lively read from Minx, DC's year-old line specializing in sassy comics for the young adult market. With "Burnout," they've released one of their best works yet. Donner's uncompromisingly gritty tale makes for a scorching hot read, loaded with complex characters and dangerous situations. After relocating to the Northwest, Danni develops a crush on hunky Haskell, son of her mom's drunken lout of a boyfriend. But Haskell harbors a secret: He's a militant environmentalist whose rage is playing with fire. The enormously talented Donner is unafraid of taking risks with "Burnout," and it pays off, with a cautionary, edgy and unputdownable story. Grade: A. --Randy Myers San Jose Mercury News / Oakland Tribune / Contra Costa Times
