Skate Ali

In a near-future Los Angeles glowing with neon, skateboarding is against the law and expressing yourself can get you arrested. Ali skates anyway. At school she is just a kid trying to avoid detention; after dark she rides the city streets alone, daring anyone to stop her.

Everything changes when she runs into the LA Skull Clan, a crew of underground skaters led by the masked Skull Queen 9. Powered by a mysterious energy they call the Rush, they turn tricks into acts of defiance. Joining them could take Ali's skills to a new level — but only if she is willing to be seen.

Kelly Sue DeConnick, Sam Humphries and Natacha Bustos team up for this skatepunk coming-of-age story. Collects Skate Ali #1–#5.
