Blood City Rollers: Move It or Bruise It

Skates on. Fangs out. Move It or Bruise It joins Mina, a 13-year-old ice skater who embraces the dark and finds her light on the Blood City Rollers' tracks. In this second volume, Mina and her human teammate Swan reconnect with the Blood City Rollers at an abandoned asylum, a place creepy enough to host a turf war. A new crew of outcast monsters is also hunting for a home, and the only solution to a bloodthirsty showdown is a Sudden Death Scrimage. Mina fights to prove she belongs—not just as a skater, but as a teammate and friend—while navigating growing feelings and a found-family that supports her. Written by V.P. Anderson with artwork by Tatiana Hill, this 160-page graphic novel blends paranormal sports, character-driven humor, and queer resilience into a fast-paced, emotionally resonant sequel to Blood City Rollers.
