Volume 10 of the Plants Vs. Zombies series of graphic novels appeared on comic shop shelves on Wednesday, June 13! It will be available from other booksellers on June 26!

Calling all Cat-Tail Commanders and Spudmarines–the battle for clean water begins! As soon as Dr. Zomboss discovers Lake Gumbo near Neighborville, Gargantuars start posing on Muscle Beach, volleyballs bounce off bungee zombies, and Zomboss uses a giant underwater drill to muddy and pollute the lake!

Neighborhood defenders Nate, Patrice, and Crazy Dave spot trouble and grab all the Tangle Kelp and Party Crabs they can to quell another zombie invasion! Having a new Security Gourd group, the unique Kelptomaniac, and returning pig-dog Twister on their side, Paul Tobin and Ron Chan return to the series they helped make a bestselling hit–with bonus stories by Kevin Burkhalter and Christianne Goudreau.

Plants Vs. Zombies: Rumble At Lake Gumbo is written by Paul Tobin, with art by Ron Chan and colors by Matt J. Rainwater!

New cover by Colleen Coover!

We’re pleased to announce that Banana Sunday will be available again from its original publisher, Oni Press, on October 24, 2018! Originally released in 2006, the new edition has been remastered with spectacular colors by Rian Sygh on Colleen Coover’s brilliant art, and it has also been revised and edited for today’s readers. Also, we’ve changed the writer’s credit to my own name, rather than the pseudonym Root Nibot.

Banana Sunday is a comedy for readers of all ages that explores the themes of alienation, self-doubt, and the power of friendship. You know, high school. Banana Sunday was listed as one of the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA) Great Graphic Novels for Teens for 2007.

We welcome this opportunity to share our early all-ages work with a new audience of readers, young and old!

“Kirby Steinberg is having a bit of trouble fitting into her new school. Sure, there’s the usual problems associated with being from “somewhere else,” but this time the new kid also happens to be the guardian for three talking primates. Chuck, the professorial orangutan. Knobby, the love-stricken spider monkey. Go-Go, the befuddled golden gorilla. These primates have learned to speak, thanks to the scientific processes of Kirby’s father. Or have they? What’s their real story? That’s what Nickels—Kirby’s new best friend and unfortunately dedicated school reporter—would like to discover. Can Kirby find time to develop a relationship with Martin, the dashing nerd? Steer clear of Skye, the high school’s #1 pillar of arrogance? Keep Knobby, Chuck and Go-Go from causing untold catastrophes? And, above all, will Kirby be able to hide the real origin of these three simians from Nickels? Oh, probably not.”

New colors by Rian Sygh
