Harry Potter, Bruce Wayne, Annie, and Oliver Twist can go #&(c)% themselves! There's a new orphan badass in town.  Homeless teenager, Jesse "Street Angel" Sanchez cuts school and fights ninja gangbangers, mad scientists, cops, time-traveling pirates, J-horror cliches, an evil version of her future self, ancient gods, rednecks, and hunger. In America's cold, hard streets, the PRINCESS OF POVERTY defends the destitute, downtrodden, and defenseless with a skateboard and kung fu. Funny, violent, irreverent -- everything you love in comic books. From the creator of The PLAIN Janes, Hulk Grand Design, and Cartoonist Kayfabe.
