Here’s the official synopsis:
Isabel Frost is a woman who has spent her life as wife, mother, grandmother – a life she feels isn’t all she had hoped for, with a husband who has grown in another direction. A college graduate with a degree in science, Isabel is an amazing gamer, who plays with people all over the country. With the help of her comic-loving grandson and irreverent best friend, she must learn to control her abilities and embrace her new identity as The Change – both the change of life AND her surprising and extraordinary superpowers.
Hi, I’m Alexandria Batchelor. Thank you so much for this coverage of our new graphic novel! However, I just wanted to let you know that I’m not the illustrator of The Change. I’m the colorist and Sukanmi Akinboye is the illustrator. So could you update the credits to “illustrated by Sukanmi Akinboye, colored by Alexandria Batchelor”?
Thanks! We’ve updated the information in the article. Nice to meet you.
