Double actualité pour Chris Samnee cette année. Parallèlement à la série Fire Power (scénarisée par Robert Kirkman, chez Image à partir de mai), le dessinateur de Daredevil et Black Widow lancera son premier creator-owned chez Oni Press en juin.
Co-écrit avec sa femme Laura, Jonna & the unpossible monsters est un comic-book pour la jeunesse (mais que les adultes pourront lire aussi) qui suivra les aventures de deux soeurs à la recherche de leur père disparu sur une planète peuplée de monstres.
"Reading books like Mike Maihack’s Cleopatra in Space , Judd Winnick’s Hilo series and Jeff Smith’s Bone with our kids really lit the fire under me to get started making something of my own. I’ve always had the urge to do something creator owned, but seeing how much the kids were enjoying these comics made me want to make something I could share with them.
« Ultimately we wanted to create a book that we could read with our children but something that would appeal to adults as well – and give me a chance to draw some monsters! Oni and James Lucas Jones were the first company to really take a chance on me by giving me my first real printed comics work – and it felt like a natural choice to come back to Oni with my first creator owned work. »

"This is it! The extra-long, senses-shattering conclusion to our tale!
Way back in issue #1, we met Rainbow and Jonna, two very different sisters-Rainbow is the bookish one, and Jonna is the one with super strength! Since then, we have followed their journey as they tracked their missing father across a ruined landscape filled with horrible, misshapen monsters and less-than-honest humans.
Last issue, the girls learned the fate of their father and confronted the strange being responsible for all their woes. Now, things get complicated as the girls (and their allies, the adventurers Nomi and Gor) face off against a seemingly unbeatable foe! Can they save their father? Can they save their planet? Find out in this oversize final issue!
