Those stories all tend to be rooted in soap opera and romance, leaning hard into melodrama and extreme emotions in a way teen dramas tend to shy away from. More than that, though, and I think this will become a lot more obvious as the series moves forward, Rian and I take a lot of influence from shojo manga. It's particularly there in the relationship between the two main actors in the story, Blake and Kevin McQueen, who are basically in the "mean jock" role, despite the fact that they'd be the opposite in any other teen adventure series. Tynion: I think that teen movies get a lot of credit for defining the tropes that we all use to understand (and cope with) high school, so I'm sure there's a little bit of that in there. This comic feels a bit like a classic '80s teen movie. ![]()
