Watch: Tegan And Sara Take Comic-Con Back to Junior High
The indie pop stars turned multimedia storytellers shared their experience writing a graphic novel, navigating those awkward middle school years, and more to a standing room only audience.
San Diego Comic-Con is known internationally as the epicenter of what’s hot in fandom, including upcoming blockbuster films, the latest genre TV series, and, of course, comics. It’s not where you’d normally expect to catch the Quin sisters, Canadian indie legends Tegan and Sara, sharing their latest project with a completely packed room of their fans.
That project,Junior High, is a new graphic novel written by the twins and drawn by the singularly talented Tillie Walden. Spoiler alert: It’s great. And in this video, Tegan and Sara join PRIDE editor-in-chief Rachel Shatto to cover how it came to be, what the process was like, why training bra shopping is the worst, the audiobook version of Junior High, and more.
Check it out below and get ready to be charmed out of your socks by the Quins.
