Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Perfect for fans of Pokémon, Pacific Rim and Godzilla, Ringo Award-winning writer David Pepose (Savage Avengers, Space Ghost) and acclaimed artist Ornella Greco (Star Trek: Picard’s Academy, Total Suplex of the Heart) deliver a heart-warming sci-fi adventure about a boy and his dog… with 10 tons of over-the-top, monster-battling action.

When an asteroid unleashes a horde of alien monsters known as Bio-Titans, Earth must turn to a suit of extraterrestrial battle armour to save the day — but there’s just one catch. The only creature on the planet capable of turning it on… is an 11-inch-tall terrier named Holly. With the Bio-Titan threat escalating by the second, Holly and her scientist owner Sam will find their unique bond tested, as he trains his mischievous mutt to become not just man’s best friend, but humanity’s only hope.

Ten tons of fun... every page had me smiling from ear to ear.
—Jeremy Adams (Green Lantern, The Flash)

There is no greater love than between a boy and his dog. Even if that dog happens to be the biggest battle mech on the planet! This book has ten-tons of heart!
—Franco (Tiny Titans, Superman Family Adventures, Itty Bitty Hellboy)

Brimming with true heart and creativity... Ten-Ton Titan Terrier is a wildly fun idea that pulled me in from the first page!
—Steve Orlando (Scarlet Witch, Avengers Assemble)

About the Author

A former reporter turned Ringo Award-winning comic book creator, David Pepose has written on hit titles such as Cable: Love & Chrome, Savage Avengers, Moon Knight: City of the Dead and Punisher for Marvel Comics, Space Ghost for Dynamite Entertainment, Speed Racer for Mad Cave Studios, as well as acclaimed original series Spencer & Locke, Going to the Chapel, Grand Theft Astro, The O.Z., Scout’s Honor, The Devil That Wears My Face, and more. David’s books have appeared in The Hollywood Reporter, Forbes, and io9, and have ranked on Barnes & Noble’s Best Comics and Graphic Novels list. His writing has been called “stunningly subversive” by IGN and “an absurdly good time” by Nerdist, while Syfy has described his work as as “utterly insane or pure genius (or admittedly, maybe both).” Raised in St. Louis, David currently resides in sunny Los Angeles, where he lives with his understanding wife, their rambunctious terrier, and at least six deadlines.
