Juliet Takes a Breath

Juliet Takes a Breath, published by Boom! Studios since 2020, follows a young Puerto Rican woman from the Bronx as she travels to Portland, Oregon, for an internship with her feminist idol. Adapted from Gabby Rivera’s novel and illustrated by Celia Moscote, this single-issue comic explores identity, sexuality, and the messy process of self-discovery. It matters for its warm, unflinching look at a queer Latinx teen finding her voice.
