Don't miss the brand-new, original series written and drawn by Eisner-winner Chris Samnee! Filled with action, adventure... and monsters!
Rainbow has been searching for her sister, Jonna, for a year. The last time she saw Jonna was also the first time she saw one of the monsters that now roam the planet. They're big, ugly, and dangerous creatures, driving humanity to the brink of extinction. Though there isn't much hope for survival out in the wild, Rainbow knows that her sister is out there somewhere-and she'll do anything to find her.
Jonna and the Unpossible Monsters reminded me how to read comics and, perhaps more importantly, why I read comics. Read Full Review

The Samnees deliver age-range appropriate dialogue and Chris Samnee gives letterer Crank! plenty of room to work, making for lettering that's easy to follow and still shows off lettering's ability to impart volume, tone, and conversation pacing. Jonna is an adventurous tale that will keep readers of all ages engaged with its story, and is a must-buy for parents of avid comics readers or who are looking for something to let them introduce their kids to their local comic shop for Wednesday pick-ups.

With Jonna and the Unpossible Monsters #1, Chris Samnee, Laura Samnee, and Matthew Wilson deliver modern comics a Kamandi-esque story with a vibrant YA bend in place of dystopian super-heroics. Read Full Review
Jonna and the Unpossible Monsters #1 shows off Chris Samnee and Matthew Wilson's skill at visually depicting both dynamic movement and quiet character moments as they and Laura Samnee set up a world full of danger and things that go bump during the night and day plus a plucky protagonist, who is willing to face them because she loves and misses her family. I can't wait to see how Rainbow grows as a character and the dangers (Aka monsters) she faces and hopefully overcomes on her adventure with a purpose. Read Full Review

Jonna and the Unpossible Monsters #1 is a quick read but does a remarkable amount of world building. Rainbow is clearly setting out on a version of the Hero's Journey, and what I like about it is that plainly the entire world changed, which means there are hints of a story beyond finding Rainbow's missing family.
