Galaxy 2: As The World Falls Down

The highly anticipated sequel to the YA trans coming-out graphic novel Galaxy: The Prettiest Star expands Taylor Barzelay's universe with more romance, action, and queer joy as she confronts her greatest fear: the Vane. Taylor, a purple alien space princess with blue hair and powers, is living with her girlfriend Kat and a talking corgi bodyguard. Yet she still questions whether she can claim the mantle of Galaxy while facing bigots at home and a looming interstellar threat. Jadzia Axelrod's writing pairs intimate coming-of-age scenes with cosmic stakes, while Rye Hickman's artwork brings dynamic action, vivid alien designs, and heartfelt character moments to life. This second volume deepens Taylor's journey toward self-acceptance and heroism in a world where love and identity collide with destiny. The vivid visuals and inclusive storytelling make it a landmark for YA readers.
