JONNA AND THE UNPOSSIBLE MONSTERS is an iconic masterpiece that readers of all ages can enjoy; the compelling, heart-warming series is jam-packed with action, adventure, and intensely colorful visuals– JONNA tells a story with both sisterly love and post-apocalyptic monster smack-downs.
With the fate of their family and possibly the whole world at stake, can Jonna and Rainbow rescue their dad, battle countless monsters, and tell each other how they really feel?
Jonna and Rainbow are sisters, but that doesn't mean they're all that similar: Rainbow's the bookish one, Jonna is the whirlwind. Jonna's also incredibly strong and nearly invulnerable—which will come in handy as they search the ruined, monster-infested wasteland that was once their home while looking for their missing father. Their world, once lush and bountiful, has been overrun by giant monsters and prickly, unnatural vines that strangle the life from the natural flora and fauna.
Their differences sometimes feel bigger than they know how to handle, but the girls set out across the broken land to reunite their family, following other survivors and word of mouth from one place to the next. From a cave of huddled refugees to a hidden city of humans that have built a home in the shattered remnants of a mighty redwood forest, things are rarely what they seem. One thing is for certain, it’s a thrill-ride from start to finish, and Rainbow and Jonna won’t stop till they find their father . . . and maybe even save the world!
Collects issues #1–12 of the instant classic of all-ages comics by co-writer/artist Chris Samnee (Daredevil, Black Widow), co-writer Laura Samnee, colorist Matthew Wilson (Eternals), and letterer Crank!
