First Book in New Graphic Novel Series PHENOMENA Coming This September

Abrams ComicArts is gearing up to publish the first book in a new graphic novel series from Brian Michael Bendis and André Lima Araújo, Phenomena: The Golden City of Eyes. Here is the official synopsis:

The story of a young boy named Boldon and his warrior friend Spike—survivors of a phenomena that took over Earth years ago. Not an apocalypse . . . something far more interesting. We follow Boldon and Spike as they are forced to team up with another lost orphan of the world, Matilde. The trio of heroes go on a globetrotting adventure that takes them to a magical, mysterious place called the Golden City of Eyes.

As they quest across this epically crazy new world looking for answers and purpose, they face off against dark forces big and small, changing the world for better along the way. In each book in the series, our heroes travel to different parts of the magical world of Phenomena by various modes of transportation, each more and more fantastical than the mode that preceded it. Each journey is personal, and every chapter takes the trio toward a different, visually iconic destination, and each location, character, and chapter reveals clues to the shape of the world and how they got there—and, ultimately, their purpose.

It sounds like a fun adventure that mixes fantasy and sci fi. Book one will come out September 13 and is available for preorder now with book two set to release in Fall 2023.
