A misfit crew of heroes-in-training contend with a crafty ogre and a cunning thief—neither of whom are quite who they appear to be—in a fun and funny world dubbed “hilarious, whimsical epic adventure” by Hilo creator Judd Winick.
High-stakes action blends with laugh-out-loud humor in a story with themes of self-acceptance, betrayal and forgiveness, and the power of friendship. Punycorn—the world’s clumsiest unicorn—is officially an apprentice hero, complete with the laminated membership card to prove it! Together with a dragon who can’t breathe fire and a dung beetle with delusions of grandeur, Punycorn is on a mission to save a friend. Along the way, the trio battle a vain and decidedly dimwitted warlord and their own self-doubts, and they find an unexpected ally in a legendary female robber who secretly feeds the poor. Big heroes come in small packages in this comedic and heartwarming delight by multi-Eisner Award–nominated graphic novelist Andi Watson.---from the publisher
