Polygon | May 15, 2021

Summer is upon us, and whether you’re looking to finally get outside to the beach (please do so responsibly) or if you just want to escape the apocalyptic year that we’ve just endured, there’s no better way to escape than into the pages of a new science fiction or fantasy book.

This summer is brimming with good books arriving in stores in the coming months — stories of strange cults, interstellar adventures, fantastical robots, fantasy wonderlands, and quite a bit more — all perfect portals to briefly escape into a new world.

Here are 16 new novels coming out this summer to add to your to-read list.

Bubble by Jordan Morris (July 13)

Back in 2018, comedian and TV writer Jordan Morris had an idea for a series about a hip, futuristic city after thinking about the challenges of living in a place like Brooklyn or Portland — the high rents, roommates, and so forth — and decided to put a but of a science fictional spin on it. The result was a podcast called Bubble, and it followed a young woman named Morgan, who was born in the Brush (hostile, natural world outside of the city), and who makes a living hunting monsters to break in thanks to an app called Huntr.

The series was a lot of fun, and now Morris has gone and adapted the podcast as a graphic novel, along with fellow writer Sarah Morgan and artist Tony Cliff.
