Book 1
When Battling Boy's father (a warrior god) drops him on a world infested with bloodthirsty monsters, he leaves his son with nothing but a magic credit card, a trunk full of enchanted tee shirts, and instructions not to come home until he's liberated the planet from its plague of monsters. Its one kid vs an entire world full of monsters. And the monsters don't stand a chance. The first of two hotly anticipated volumes from comics superstar Paul Pope, Battling Boy is already the subject of much excitement in the comics world and in Hollywood. With heart-thumping action, humour, and spectacular art, Battling Boy is poised to become a true blockbuster.
Book 2
Aurora West is on the verge of solving the mystery of her mother's death, but it's hard keeping her efforts a secret from her grieving father, the legendary monster-hunter Haggard West. Between her school work and her hours training and hunting with her dad, Aurora is hard-pressed to find time to be a secret sleuth. But she's nothing if not persistent. What Aurora doesn't realize is that she's about to blow open a secret that may very well destroy what's left of her family...and, indeed, all of Arcopolis. From Paul Pope, the legendary creator of Battling Boy, teamed up with JT Petty and David Rubin, comes the nail-biting sequel to The New York Times bestselling The Rise of Aurora West!
A prequel to Battling Boy, The Rise of Aurora West follows the young hero as she seeks to uncover the mystery of her mother's death and to find her place in a world overrun with supernatural monsters and all-too-human corruption. With a taut, fast-paced script from Paul Pope and J. T. Petty and edgy art from David Rubin, this is an addition to the world of Battling Boy that will delight fans of Pope's fascinating storytelling.
