Galaxy 2: As The World Falls Down

The long-awaited sequel to the YA coming-out graphic novel Galaxy: The Prettiest Star brings more romance, more action, and even more queer joy as Taylor faces her greatest fear: the Vane.

Taylor Barzelay is finally living as her authentic self – a violet alien space princess with blue hair and superpowers. With her loving girlfriend Kat and a talking corgi as a bodyguard, she should feel at home on Earth – but why doesn't she? While Kat makes plans for life after high school, Taylor wonders what her future holds. Despite hostility in her hometown, protecting her friend Nia Nal from a malevolent alien aunt, and intensive training of her powers, Taylor is uncertain whether she can truly embrace her identity as the superhero Galaxy.

When the Vane – the alien people who destroyed her home planet – finally appear on Earth, Taylor's greatest fear becomes reality. If even Superman can barely meet this threat, what chance does Taylor have to save her best friend, the love of her life, and the entire world? Only by setting aside her doubts can she become the hero she was always meant to be.
