Shot & Chaser

Heartbreak and humor go hand in hand in this touching adult graphic novel from Eisner-nominated and Harvey-winning author E. K. Weaver, which follows a tumultuous day in the life of two amateur storm chasers. Soulmates Olly and Tre are on the hunt for the perfect storm…and the perfect distraction from their spiraling lives. It’s May, 2020, and the global pandemic has taken its toll: Olly is facing eviction, Tre’s nascent artistic career has stalled out, and weeks of quarantine have left them touch-starved and restless. In the midst of the chaos and uncertainty, their love for each other can feel like the only thing keeping them afloat. Over the course of twenty-four tumultuous hours, the two amateur storm chasers hit the open road with cameras in hand, ready to capture breathtaking cloudscapes over Texas and Oklahoma, from mackerel skies to roiling thunderheads. But what begins as a form of escapism soon transforms into an emotional and physical gauntlet—one that unearths life-changing secrets. Through stunning vistas and startlingly realistic dialogue, Harvey Award–winning author E. K. Weaver crafts an intimate portrait of two people struggling to find joy in a hostile world, and beauty in the eye of the storm.
