Trapped inside her mountain by pollution-spewing factories, the guardian spirit Zawa only has industrial waste to eat, leading her to a bitter existence of paranoia and destruction.
But when two siblings from a nearby village help her escape, they'll quickly learn that the way to calming Zawa's heart is through a well nourished stomach!
GLAAD Award-winning and Eisner Award-nominated cartoonist Michael Dialynas (Wynd, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) crafts a charmingly macabre eco-fable about nature, greed, the dangers of retribution, and good food shared among friends.

A very, very interesting concept about protest and truth-seeking. I cannot wait for more background about these characters.

The art has a great vibe, Thatcher especially feels like a Don Bluth character. Story is missing the villain its straining to be something more -- hopefully it works that out or abandons it soon. I'll give issue #2 a shot
