A rescue quest with arcade-game energy

Princess Helia’s search for her kidnapped fiancé sends her beyond the sheltered world she knows and into a series of fantastical realms. Accompanied by Sidra, an ice witch and her bodyguard, Helia faces Gogo’s scheme through fights, travel, and the challenges of unfamiliar places. The adventure draws on beat ’em up and fighting-game conventions, while also bringing a romantic-comedy thread to the relationship between its two heroines. Its combination of swords-and-sorcery, action, humor, and queer romance gives the graphic novel more than one mode of adventure.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in action-adventure graphic novels.
  • Fans of arcade and fighting-game conventions, fantasy quests, and swords-and-sorcery settings.
  • Readers seeking queer romance woven into a humorous action story.

Book overview

What if Sailor Moon and Double Dragon combined into an action-packed queer swords and sorcery romcom? You get Beat Every 1-Up, a high-action beat 'em up with a tender heart and a humorous point of view for fans of arcade cabinets and fighting games!

Listen up! This is the fisticuff-filled tale of Princess Helia of Terrager! A natural-born fighter since childhood, Helia must head out into the wider world when her soon-to-be-husband is groom-napped on their wedding day by the atrocious ape and would-be world conqueror, Gogo. But what does a sheltered princess know of the other realms? Turns out, not a whole lot.

Luckily, Helia is joined by her (only) friend and bodyguard, the ice witch Sidra. Together, the pair will brave the deserts of Flaterra, the blizzards of Frosterra...uh, you get the idea...until they've rescued the wayward prince, thwarted Gogo, and punched every henchman they can find. And maybe, by the end of their journey, Helia and Sidra will realize their connection goes beyond mere friendship...

Find out in BEAT EVERY 1-UP, a young adult graphic novel that will bring a new definition to "your princess is in another castle"!
