Amy Tirouette is a shy, rich young woman, living alone in Gray City, New York and recovering from a recent accident involving a toxic waste spill. What she -- and the rest of the city -- will soon come to learn is that her accident had more ramifications than merely giving Amy superpowers... it unleashed a crazed alter-ego known as Joygirl, hidden away in Amy's subconscious for decades. Now, much at the behest of her "normal" half, Joygirl will dive into a world of horror, hilarity, and heroics, battling villains, vampires, demons, aliens, and everything in between.
Not every villain wanted to be the bad guy.
Maria Green's life has been one disaster after another. First it was her abusive parents, then it was developing teleportation, then purposely orphaning herself which took her straight into DCFS custody. Well, maybe the teleportation wasn't so bad. After choosing to run away to escape a group home, Maria and her foster sisters find themselves homeless in New York. Things take a turn when they're caught by a boy they pickpocketed and are forced into a gang. Maria's got one job, keep herself alive and use her powers to help steal or she can die. Simple, right? Maybe not when a guy dressed like a cat decides to insert himself in your criminal activites. Trapped in a deadly fight between hero and villian, there is only one right side. The question is, can Maria figure out which one it is before its too late?
