Queen Kodiak

Description

Following in the massive footsteps of legends like Godzilla and King Kong, comes Queen Kodiak, a colossal, super-charged Kodiak grizzly bear... one who survived from the ice-age and who's been irreversibly enhanced by a mysterious geothermal energy pulsing in the unknown depths of an Alaskan ice cave. Although Queen Kodiak has been asleep for thousands of years, melting ice and subsequent tectonic activity have disturbed her hibernation, and in her debut graphic novel, she wakes up to find her only cub missing.

But as much as we want to meet her and watch her wreak havoc on the Pacific Northwest (sorry Seattle), our story actually centres on Joey Fox, an embattled 17-year-old girl, and natural empath, who befriends Queen Kodiak’s cub after a tectonic shift in her own life—the recent passing of her mother. As a result, Joey has been sent to Alaska’s Kodiak Island to live with the man who left them ten years ago, her state trooper father. In many ways, it’s a story about how families survive overwhelming odds.
