Before Heartstopper, there was Breaks... the enemies-to-lovers queer webcomic sensation.

Cortland Hunt has made some dangerous mistakes. Now he's waiting quietly for those mistakes to catch up with him. Ian Tanner coasts through life denying the spark of anger beneath his laid-back exterior. When school politics and personal lives become a battleground, the pair find that what they share may just be their only safe haven.

Breaks is the story of two young men discovering who they were, who they are, and who they will become. It's a love story... but a bit broken.

With millions of views and thousands of subscribers on webcomic platforms, Breaks is perfect for fans of popular LGBTQ+ graphic novels, such as Alice Oseman's Heartstopper, who might be looking for something darker and more mature.

'An overnight sensation'

BleedingCool.com (on Emma Vieceli)

'Breaks is a series that does what few others dare to do.'

A Place to Hang Your Cape

'Brutal and loving, authentically inspiring and authentically awful, Vieceli and Ryden's frenzy of a teen drama is seedy and transcendent and a must'

Kieron Gillen (The Wicked + The Divine/Young Avengers)

'Deftly observed, exquisitely paced and beautifully rendered, Vieceli and Ryden's Breaks drips with all the teenage awkwardness, schoolyard viciousness and feelgood humour the subject deserves... Exceptional stuff.'

Si Spurrier (Sandman-the Dreaming)

'I. Love. This. Book. Between the gorgeous art and expertly crafted story, Vieceli and Ryden's Breaks is the kind of in-depth exploration of the heart my inner teenage voice considers necessary for survival. It's funny, awkward, and heartrending, but above all, Breaks is genuine. It's everything a teen love story should be.'

Christina Strain (Runaways/The Magicians)

'The kind of long-running queer romance we need'
