“Whoa, Nellie!”

In "Whoa, Nellie!", Jaime Hernandez delivers a dynamic, character-driven chapter as Xochitl battles Katy Hawk for the Texas championship belt, only to fall short in a hard-fought match. With Vicki stepping away from coaching and closing Camp Vicki after feeling Xochitl was wronged by the federation, the stakes feel personal—and the tension builds to a sprawling eleven-woman battle royale ringside. Jaime Hernandez’s distinctive art and storytelling anchor this vibrant, emotionally charged installment, with his own cover pencils and inks capturing the chaos and energy of the moment.
