BEN 10 Is Getting a New Graphic Novel Next Summer
Ben 10, the Cartoon Network series about a boy who can turn into aliens, is getting a new original graphic novel called Ben 10: The Creature from Serenity Shore. The novel is being written by CB Lee with art from Mattia di Meo and will be published by BOOM! Studios’ KaBOOM! imprint which is aimed at younger audiences.
“Ben, Gwen and Grandpa Max head to a beautiful seaside resort for some much-needed relaxation - but they’ll need to use all their abilities to defeat the terrifying monster ruining everyone’s good time! Luckily, Ben Tennyson isn’t your average 10-year-old...he’s also the wielder of the Omnitrix, an alien device that allows Ben to shift into 10 different alien forms from around the galaxy. Together with his cousin Gwen and his Grandpa Max, they’re going defeat the Sharktopus and discover just who would want to ruin a good summer’s day!”
Lee released a statement about what the story is all about:
“Ben, Gwen and Grandpa Max head to Serenity Shore looking forward to sand, surf and the promised serenity—but what they find is a mysterious tentacled creature prowling in the deep and secrets to uncover from the mysterious lab overlooking the cliffs. THE CREATURE FROM SERENITY SHORE is all about working with your fears and doing your best in the face of challenges, and I had such a blast working on this summer adventure!”
Meanwhile, Meo talked about his love of working on another Ben 10 adventure:
“This is my second time on a BEN 10™ adventure, and I’m so glad of it! Drawing monsters and aliens is never boring and I really love the Tennyson family! In this story we have the sea, summer, friends, tentacles, fangs and aliens, of course. It was amazing to draw! And working again with the team made up of C. B. Lee as writer and Eleonora Bruni as colorist was the icing on the cake.”
Ben 10: The Creature from Serenity Shore will be available in July 2020.
