Hi blog readers,

It’s been a while! Hope you are surviving and finding some peace in the middle of **gestures at everything**

Just wanted you to be among the first to know: I'm launching a Kickstarter for a new graphic novel project from me and Megan Levens: HIGH STREET HELLCATS!

Meet the High Street Hellcats: a gang of women who run these streets: shoplifting, grifting, swindling, and partying their way through London - and punching a few constables along the way!

High Street Hellcats is a graphic novel from Janet Harvey and Megan Levens - the same team that brought you Angel City. Get ready for bare-knuckle action, period drama, and Oceans Eleven ensemble heist shenanigans in 1920's London!

Sign up now to be notified when the Kickstarter goes live next week!

Mad Ghost Productions presents the monstrous Geiger 80-Page Giant #1—which will include exciting stories from the Geiger universe by series creators Geoff Johns and Gary Frank alongside such guest talents as Bryan Hitch, Jay Faerber, Sterling Gates, Janet Harvey, Leon Hendrix III, Peter J. Tomasi, Pornsak Pichetshote, Staz Johnson, Joe Prado, Paul Pelletier, Sean Galloway, Peter Snejbjerg, Kelley Jones, and Megan Levens. This exciting new chapter will showcase tales of Geiger’s allies and enemies and arrive from Image Comics this November.

“A really cool bonus to working on the original Geiger series was getting to see the interpretations of some of our favourite artists on the variant covers,” said Frank. “Now we get the thrill of seeing other artists AND writers bringing these characters to life in new and wonderful ways!”

Johns added: “The greatest thing about comic books are the friends you get to work with, and this book is full of them.”

Geiger 80-Page Giant #1 will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, November 24:

• Cover A Frank – Diamond Code SEP210071

• Cover B Hitch – Diamond Code SEP210072

• Cover C Pelletier – Diamond Code SEP210073

• Cover D Levens – Diamond Code SEP210074

• Cover E Blank cover – Diamond Code SEP210075

Geiger 80-Page Giant #1 will also be available for purchase across many digital platforms, including Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, comiXology, and Google Play.

This is late because I just plain forgot how to log into Squarespace, y’all.

I have a story in Wonder Woman Black and Gold #3!

From the review at GeekDad.com:

First up is “We Built a New World” by Janet Harvey Nevala and Megan Levens. This starts as a dialogue between Diana and Hippolyta about what to do with the just-landed Steve Trevor, but it becomes a much larger-scale story. It follows Diana and Steve’s relationship, and how they both changed each other, through a longer journey than they usually take. The poignant ending seals the deal for how good a portrayal of their bond this is.

Just a quick note to let you know that a graphic novel I wrote, The Curie Society, is coming out from MIT Press on April 27!

Summary

A covert team of young women—members of the Curie society, an elite organization dedicated to women in STEM—undertakes high-stakes missions to save the world.

Created by: Heather Einhorn & Adam Staffaroni; Writer: Janet Harvey; Artist: Sonia Liao; Editor: Joan Hilty

An action-adventure original graphic novel, The Curie Society follows a team of young women recruited by an elite secret society—originally founded by Marie Curie—with the mission of supporting the most brilliant female scientists in the world. The heroines of the Curie Society use their smarts, gumption, and cutting-edge technology to protect the world from rogue scientists with nefarious plans. Readers can follow recruits Simone, Taj, and Maya as they decipher secret codes, clone extinct animals, develop autonomous robots, and go on high-stakes missions.

The Curie Society introduces an entertaining, empowering media universe for fans hungry to read about brilliant, analytical young women as scientific heroes. Stay tuned for more Curie Society missions featuring our heroes saving the world through their STEM skills and teamwork.

The graphic novel will be accompanied by a series of educational exercises based on the book for educators who want to engage readers in science based projects, and there is also a planned community site that will allow interested students to join and meet other Curie afficionados. We even have pins! :D

Stay tuned for more news as it develops!
