I'm back after a small comics break, and I've decided to change things up with First Friday 5. Rather than picking a theme, I'm going to keep it simple and simply pick five comics I'm enjoying. They have all recently published or will publish in April.

Faith starts middle school unsure of where she will fit in, and when a popular girl offers to get her on the soccer team, Faith ends up on the C team (mainly because she's terrible at soccer). As it turns out, the whole team is awful at soccer, and through a large series of interwoven events, the team becomes bonded to their cores.
In the sequel to Click Olive heads to summer camp with her friend Willow, excited to have the best summer ever. And she does, but Willow has trouble finding friends, and shies away from branching out and seeking independence. Willow only wants to hang out with Olive, and it's starting to get on Olive's nerves. When Olive finally snaps, both girls experience the feeling that they will never be friends again.
