COMICS WILL BREAK YOUR HEART capitalizes on the current Marvel movie crazy by showcasing the star-crossed relationship of Miriam Kendrick and Weldon Warrick, the children on either side of a copy-right legal dispute over the TomorrowMen comic series. (Just in case you missed the obvious parallels, a discussion of Romeo and Juliet is shoehorned into the story for good measure.) Although I really enjoy nerd!lit as a general rule, I felt as though COMICS WILL BREAK YOUR HEART lacked a punch. Everything felt a little too cookie-cutter, a little too easily resolved. If you enjoy the "after school special" formula for YA romance, you'll enjoy it, but don't expect anything revolutionary. Other contemporary YA Lit works exploring fandom do so with much more nuance. Regardless, fans of GEEKERELLA, CHAOTIC GOOD, and SHIP IT will enjoy.
