SLAM! #1
SLAM! #1 | Pamela Ribon
Best-selling novelist (Why Girls Are Weird, You Take It from Here), animation writer (Moana, the Wreck-It Ralph sequel), and comics writer (Rick and Morty) Pamela Ribon and artist Veronica Fish (Archie, Silk, Spider-Woman) dive into the fast-paced, hard-hitting world of roller derby! Jennifer Chu and Maise Huff (aka Knockout and Ithinka Can on the track) have been best friends since their first day of Fresh Meat Orientation for the Eastside Roller Girls, but when they get drafted for two different teams theyll have to figure out if the bond between them is stronger than the pull of a team when a win is on the line. You get slammed on the track and slammed in life, and in both cases you have to take your hits and get back up again!

“How it felt. How it looked.” Pretty accurate for my roller skating despite not even trying anything as hard as roller derby.

Found this on our new items cart today, grabbed it for a quick lunchtime read. I always wanted to be a derby girl, then the realization that I‘m super clumsy came into play. 😂 #slam! #graphicnovels #rollerderby #quickread

LiteraryinLawrence Have you read Victoria Jamieson‘s graphic novel about roller derby? I love her! 6y
Mem_ugh @LiteraryinLititz I haven‘t! I‘ve seen it around my library but I have yet to pick it up for myself. I‘ll definitely have to give it a read 6y

I soo loved this! 😢😍 Lots of friend feels & girl power.. the more I read about derby, the more I want to give it a try!

RachLovesTV Yeah, I loved this one, too! I definitely don't want to play derby myself, as I have weak ankles and a fear of falling, but I love seeing the culture that has developed around it. (edited) 6y
night_shift @RachLovesTV I have no such fears lol and yes, definitely! We went to a skating rink this last weekend and it was fuuuuun! They had signs up for a youth derby league, but I was too chicken to ask if they do any sort for adults lol 6y
LauraJ What would your derby name be? 6y

night_shift @LauraJ ..you know, I don't know! I'll have to ponder on that one.. 6y
RachLovesTV @UnidragonFrag You should definitely look in to it! I know my area (Seattle) has several leagues and there are intro events for newcomers to come check things out! 6y
night_shift @RachLovesTV I'd be downright shocked if Portland didn't have a few! I plan on looking into it more this weekend. 6y
RachLovesTV Ooo, I know they do! Rose City Rollers, I believe! 6y
night_shift @RachLovesTV oh yeah! We have a graphic novel at work, Roller Girls, that has them in it! I totally forgot until I read this comment lol 6y

If you are curious at all about Roller Derby give this one a try. It follows two girls from their first skate to becoming great players and the up and downs their friendship takes too.

I'm not a morning person but occasionally I love a little bit of quiet reading while drinking coffee. I've been saving this comic and this really busy Tuesday seemed like a good day to indulge a little before work.

bookloaner @acereads I loved it!! Gotta start the next one asap 7y

Haul my husband picked up from the local comic book store. I'm super excited about Wind in the Willows illustrated by David Peterson of Mouse Guard fame. #comics #riotgram #bookstagram @bookriot

Marktwainbutstupid #doctorstrange yay! I've heard of Slam but haven't read it - how is it? 7y
Giabow I've liked what I've read so far. But I'm a derby girl, so might be biased. 7y

So excited about this series! The first issue is an intro to the two main protagonists and roller derby in general. I like the setup and love the color 😍 While I love the texture of the paper, I plan to wait for the trade to read the rest. But, ouf, waiting 😬 #mommyreads #comics #singleissue #rollerderby

I love things centering on roller derby and had to read this. Good intro so far, loved the art and characters and definitely reading the next issue! (It made me miss that reality show I think on A&E that followed derby girls.)

moranadatter Good to hear! I just picked it up. 7y
Matilda @kmdartist I saw! I'm excited you read some of the same I read so I'll have someone to talk to about them lol 7y
Lupita.Reads This looks so cool! Adding it! 7y
