If you loved following Jess Tran—a powerless kid from Andover who takes that sketchy Monroe Corp internship, crushes hard on Abby Jones, and ends up uncovering how the "hero vs. villain" system is rigged—you'll vibe with the chaotic, big-hearted crew in The Disasters. A disgraced pilot-in-training and a wildly diverse team of misfits are framed for a terrorist attack and have to clear their names across the galaxy. It delivers the same joyful queer representation and ride-or-die friendship energy that made Jess, Bells, and Emma so endearing, just scaled up to space chases and heists.

Like Jess figuring out who she wants to be without superpowers—and discovering the shady truth behind Andover’s carefully stage-managed heroics—Renegades centers on teens navigating a world ruled by superheroes and the secrets they keep. Nova and Adrian operate on opposite sides of a fragile truce, both convinced they’re the ones doing what’s right. If Jess’s growth from uncertain intern to bold truth‑seeker hooked you, you’ll enjoy watching these two come of age while their loyalties and identities collide.

Jess’s tentative, blush‑inducing moments with Abby Jones—set against the backdrop of digging into Monroe’s emails and realizing the hero narrative is a lie—pair perfectly with Crier’s War. Human maid Ayla and Automa princess Crier start as enemies within a rigid, unjust system and slowly fall for each other while exposing the rot at its core. If the slow-burn chemistry and secret‑laden revelations in Jess and Abby’s story made you swoon, this will, too.

If Jess’s wry voice, the playful banter with Bells and Emma, and the cheerful tone even while snooping around Monroe’s lab were your jam, The Extraordinaries doubles down on that vibe. It follows Nick, a superhero-obsessed teen who writes fanfic about his city’s caped crusader and stumbles into real powers, awkward crushes, and hilarious mishaps. Expect quick quips, heart, and the kind of affectionate nerdiness that made Jess’s internship hijinks so fun.

In Not Your Sidekick, Jess’s internship lifts the curtain on Andover’s controlled hero/villain theater. The Sound of Stars hits a similar note of resistance under oppression: after an alien occupation outlaws art, a human girl running a secret library and an alien boy who loves banned music team up to spark hope. If uncovering Monroe’s manufactured narratives hooked you, this story of subverting a regime through truth and culture will resonate.
