LOS ANGELES, CA (November 21, 2019) – BOOM! Studios today revealed a first look at BEN 10: MECHA MADNESS, the latest middle grade original graphic novel based on Cartoon Network’s global hit series, with Rainbow Award-winning writer CB Lee (Not Your Sidekick) and artist Lidan Chen (Ben 10: The Truth is Out There) which will debut in stores November 2019. In this blast from the antique past, sprockets and gears go flying when Team Tennyson gets into fisticuffs with the dastardly villain, Steam Smythe.
Ben Tennyson isn’t your average 10-year-old…he’s also the wielder of the Omnitrix, an alien device that allows Ben to shift into ten different alien forms from around the galaxy. Together with his cousin Gwen and Grandpa Max, they protect the world from alien incursions.
In BEN 10: MECHA MADNESS, when Ben’s cousin Gwen discovers a mecha-suit left behind in disrepair by the steampunk villain Steam Smythe, she can’t help but fix it back into working condition and test it out. While Ben may not approve, Gwen’s new suit might be their only chance of stopping the relentless Steam Smythe and his army of mecha-creatures from clashing with innocent civilians as they hunt down their lost machine.
This is the third original graphic novel release from the partnership between BOOM! Studios and Cartoon Network, following the recently released BEN 10: THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE from CB Lee and Lidan Chen, as well as BEN 10: FOR SCIENCE! from CB Lee and artist Mattia di Meo, both available in bookstores now.
