by Brian Michael Bendis (Author), André Lima Araújo (Illustrator)
New York Times bestselling author Brian Michael Bendis (cocreator of Miles Morales, Jessica Jones, and Naomi) and illustrator André Lima Araújo (A Righteous Thirst for Vengeance) bring you Phenomena, a powerful fantasy adventure series starting with The Golden City of Eyes.
"Everyone tells you . . . you're going to see something you've never seen before. That's what everyone said. Who doesn't want to see something they've never seen?" Phenomena is 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 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. With Phenomena, Brian Michael Bendis and André Lima Araújo deliver a universe chock-full of unforgettable characters, full-tilt action, and stunning imagination and world-building that is perfect for fans of Avatar: The Last Airbender.Author Biography
