Sparks and stingers will fly in this modern reimagining of Shakespeare’s classic romantic comedy Much Ado About Nothing!
Sparks and stingers will fly in this modern queer reimagining of Shakespeare’s classic romantic comedy Much Ado About Nothing! Inspired by Shakespeare’s beloved romcom Much Ado About Nothing with a modern queer twist, Abuzz tells the story of teenage couples at Messina High falling in and out of love thanks to verbal spars, idle gossip, and jealous schemers. Ben and Beatriz, former friends, can’t stop fighting on their way to senior graduation, threatening to tank college applications and years of hard work. Meanwhile, Hero and Claudio are new on campus, hoping to find their footing as new romance blossoms. Together with friends from the school clubs and sports teams, they have to find a way to get the feuding seniors to stop everyone from picking sides in their conflict before it tears the school apart. Meanwhile, scorned juniors DJ, Connie, and Roach see the chaos as their perfect opportunity to completely topple the social pyramid and position themselves to rule the school. School Principal Leo is stuck between her duty as Hero’s parent and her duty as a leader to the buzzing student body while the bumbling academic counsellor Dogberry and her student assistant Vergil verbosely stumble their way through upholding the integrity and safety of the school halls.

About the author
Amy Chase (she/her) is a writer from Southern California who specializes in horror, fantasy, and lots of puns. Her body of work includes official stories for beloved properties like Dungeons & Dragons, My Little Pony, Archie Horror, and Ghostbusters, in formats ranging from comics and prose to tarot decks. Outside of writing, Amy is an avid tabletop gamer, a frog mom, and a roller derby player by the name of Tuffy the Vampire Skater.
Stelladia is a Spanish comic artist and colorist with a background on visual development for animation. They enjoy working on fantasy, sci-fi and children tales (with a bit of spookiness in them). Some of their past work include The Wilds #4 (Black Mask), Submerged (Vault Comics), Metaphorical Her (Webtoon) or the animation short-film "Johanne" (Dragonbee). When they are not making comics, you can probably find them doing crafts, home-gardening or studying philosophy and anthropology.
