The Herd Vol. 1 Part 1 (Paperback)
The beginning of a 4-part epic origin story - A graphic novel superhero comedy for all ages!
A group of wannabe heroes find their powers (and problems) at the bottom of a bottle of contaminated fruit juice.
CEO Fox Canidae isn’t having a good day. With his beautiful wife, a (reasonably) well-behaved kid, and Foxy Fruits, his bazillion-dollar fruit juice company (the backbone of Maple City’s economy), life should be great! But possible sabotage at his factory is threatening catastrophe for the entire city.
Unknown to Fox, his company’s best researcher, Professor Doctor Monkey-Shine, is a mastermind with “The Pack”, a villainous gang that knows no limits. The Professor has “accidentally” dropped his own top-secret formula into the bottling line of the company’s new juice sensation. What should have been a slam-dunk, blockbuster product launch is now turning into a supernatural pandemic with Maple City’s citizens at the center.
Fox knows he has to make this right; after all, it started with his company! To save his family and the city he loves so much, he uses the impacts of the Professor’s own formula to create an elite group of superheroes called “The Herd”. In a race against time, Fox must save the city and stop The Pack from spreading the pandemic beyond its borders. The gathering of the Herd begins in The Herd Volume 1 Part 1!
