I've been looking forward to checking them out ever since I first learned of the new graphic novels Zondervan was preparing to launch. "Z Graphic Novels" debuted this month and are avaiable at these fine retailers.
Last week I volunteered to review a couple books from their new line, and I was sent "TOMO" a story by Andrew Simmons and Rob Corley (I first learned of this series at Funny Pages Productions ) and eagerly went through both volumes last weekend.
"TOMO" follows thirteen-year-old Hana moving from Japan to America to live with her grandfather. There, she not only deals with trying to fit in, but she comes face to face with creatures from another world. These soldiers are after the "Sword of the Spirit" and it is up to Hana, equipped with her martial arts training, to make sure they don't get it.
The story offers unique twists and turns, particularly with the title character Tomo (the grandfather's "pet", a martial art raccoon... does it get any cooler than that). With a great mix of action, fun storytelling and valuable lessons, these are a great read. I look forward to rest of this series. Check it out!
