Out this week: Pillow Talk (Harper Alley, $18.99): 

OK, so I was in an airport yesterday and the coffee shop where I was waiting for my flight had a TV on ESPN, and it was showing a professional pillow fight. Which is apparently a real thing. I mean, why not, right? Anyway, this new graphic novel by Stephanie Cooke and Mel Valentine Vargas is about Grace Mendes, a.k.a. “Cinderhella” (that’s awesome), a college freshman who gets recruited into the world of competitive pillow fighting.

See what other comics and graphic novels will occupy store shelves this week.
