Skybound Comet unveiled a first look at Scurry, the new Middle Grade graphic novel from webcomics superstar Mac Smith, marking the first-ever collection of the smash-hit webcomic in a complete volume.
The upcoming original graphic novel is an exciting release for Skybound Comet, a new original graphic novel imprint aimed at Young Adult (Ages 12+) and Middle Grade (Ages 8-12) audiences, but sure to captivate readers of all ages. Skybound Comet officially launches this month with the release of Clementine Book One, available in comic book shops now and everywhere books are sold on June 28.
Scurry depicts a world in which humanity has disappeared, but danger is still lurking around every corner for a colony of house mice struggling to survive a long and strange winter. When Wix, the colony’s best scout, embarks on a perilous journey to find food and shelter, he suddenly finds himself lost and alone in the forest. To find his way home, the little mouse must navigate dangerous new threats, strange new creatures, and a destiny he never expected.
“In the great tradition of Mouse Guard, The Secret of Nimh and Watership Down, we’re thrilled to bring Mac Smith’s legendary webcomic Scurry to a brand-new audience,” said Alex Antone, Senior Editor at Skybound Comet. “This stunningly beautiful book looks like nothing else on your middle grade shelf, and Wix’s roller-coaster adventure will have young readers on the edge of their seats from start to finish!”
Wix will make his first comic book appearance in Skybound X #25, available in comic shops and at digital providers on July 20, 2022.
