Neverlanders: A Graphic Novel

Beschreibung

From two powerhouse comic book creators with millions in sales comes the first book in a gritty fantasy graphic novel series set in the world of Peter Pan, in which modern-day Neverland has become a war zone and it's up to a new group of lost teens to set things right. Bee and her fellow runaways might not be related by blood, but they've chosen to be each other's family now, and that's what matters. So when a kind-hearted stranger named Paco saves her life, Bee invites him to join her crew, thinking he's another lost teen, another one the world has overlooked. The truth is Paco's not just a lost teen, he's a Lost Boy from Neverland. And he wants Bee and the others to come back with him. When the group is then spirited away by a foul-mouthed Tinker Bell, they discover that Neverland is not some fun-filled hideaway. It's a war zone under siege by a horde of pirates with a merciless new leader who will stop at nothing to steal the land's magic. Tink leads a fairy army that barely holds them at bay. Peter Pan is gone. And rest of the Lost Boys have been killed. Paco is all that remains…but he hopes that this group of teens will become the new Lost Ones. And perhaps one among them will rise up as the new Pan. These young runaways may be Neverland's only hope, but they're about to learn that it'll take a lot more than happy thoughts to win a war.

With Neverlanders, Tom Taylor and Jon Sommariva re-invent the Neverland mythology for a new generation an epically imaginative and

strikingly fresh take on all things Lost Boys. Filled with foul-mouthed fairies, steampunk goblins, and a healthy dose of pixie dust, Neverlanders is the perfect book for anyone young at heart. Scott Snyder, #1 New York Times bestseller & Eisner award-winning author of Batman and American Vampire

"This fierce new Neverland, where a group of teens can be more powerful than they ever imagined, is beautifully brought to life by Taylor and Sommariva. It made me want to stay forever and never grow up." Danielle Paige, New York Times bestselling author of the Dorothy Must Die series

"A bright and vibrant adventure: Taylor and Sommariva have given us a Neverland transformed to new heights of possibility." Ryan North, New York Times bestseller & Eisner award-winning author of The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl

"The work of a master at the height of his craft. There is no one out there right now doing it like Tom Taylor. NO ONE." Jay Kristoff, New York Times bestselling author of Empire of the Vampire and The Nevernight Chronicle, and co-author of The Illuminae Files

"Stunning visuals and an unforgettable story, with fiercely modern themes and a found family that will steal your heart. Full of charm, intensity, and wonder, this is Neverland like you ve never seen it before." C.S. Pacat, New York Times bestselling author of Dark Rise and the Captive Prince trilogy

"This original take on Peter Pan brings a new generation into the fold, and the world of the story completely to life with intricate art laced with rich hues of greens and blues. Readers will not want to leave the characters behind in this magical world. Create room on the shelf for this new fantasy graphic novel with roots in the classic, filled with action-packed battles and splendid depictions of a steampunk world." SLJ

Neverlanders reimagines J. M. Barrie's classic Peter Pan in a darker, grittier atmosphere that nonetheless maintains many of the core themes from the original. Taylor and Sommariva inject the classic story with contemporary characters and concerns, and the dynamic, cinematic artwork heightens the high-fantasy feel. Tween fantasy fans will appreciate this engaging ensemble adventure with a solid friendship plot at its heart. Booklist

"The fast-paced, adventure-filled storyline includes touches of humor that will keep readers engaged. A thoroughly enjoyable extension of the Peter Pan narrative that explores chosen family." Kirkus Reviews
