“A fast-paced, hilarious adventure set in a post-apocalyptic world populated by humans and talking dogs. Tri and Irma’s art is a treat to look at, and it’s hard not to love Machine Boy, our hero with a heart of metal, and his adoptive, karate master grandma.” —Kristen Gudsnuk, Making Friends
“Full of action, heart and a surprising amount of spaghetti—what more could you want?” —Gabriela Epstein, The Baby-Sitters Club, Danny Phantom
Today Image/Skybound revealed an electric new look at Everyday Hero Machine Boy, the all-new original graphic novel from rising star voices Tri Vuong (the upcoming LEGO® NINJAGO®: GARMADON comic book series) and Irma Kniivila.
Available everywhere books are sold September 2022, Everyday Hero Machine Boy marks the first Middle Grade release from Skybound Comet, a new original graphic novel imprint aimed at Young Adult (Ages 12+) and Middle Grade (Ages 8-12) audiences, but sure to captivate readers of all ages.
It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s… Machine Boy! When Machine Boy falls from the sky into the domed city of Mega 416, he leaves a wake of destruction in his path… until Karate Grandpa is able to turn on his heart. Now, Machine Boy wants nothing more than to become a hero! Whether he is fighting giant bugs in the school’s basement, rescuing cats from trees, or making the perfect spaghetti sauce, Machine Boy is always looking for the best way to help others. But when his heart begins to interact dangerously with other debris from space, Machine Boy wonders if he can be a power for good after all.
Tri Vuong and Irma Kniivila create a funny and engaging all-ages adventure that asks—can you override your own programming?
