Kal and Cosmo are teen boys in love. It should be simple-except that Cosmo's an alien deserter on the run from an intergalactic peacekeeping force!

Kal and Cosmo are teen boys in love. It should be simple-except that Cosmo's an alien deserter on the run from an intergalactic peacekeeping force!

In this YA sci-fi original graphic novel, teenager Kal is an Earthling without much purpose in life. Cosmot'urr Col Al'neyr, or Cosmo for short, is an alien struggling to find his place in the galaxy. Sparks fly when the two meet-but when Cosmo's past catches up with him, Kal is forced to make a choice- remain on Earth or follow his crush into the great unknown. Easy choice, right? Now they just have to navigate the dangers of outer space, a megalomaniac pseudoparent, and their growing feelings for each other. Yeah. It's complicated. Kloud 9 begins as a slice-of-life love story with fish-out-of-water humor before expanding into full-on space opera, packing every page with thrilling action and charming romance.
