Studios’ second original Ben 10 graphic novel, “Ben 10: For Science!” We now have a second exclusive five-page excerpt from the new book, written by CB Lee with art by Mattia Di Meo, which sees Ben and Gwen Tennyson settling in and making new friends at science camp.
Cover by Mattia Di MeoBen Tennyson isn’t your average 10-year-old… he’s also the wielder of the 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. When a science camp is attacked by a mysterious threat, Ben and Gwen must go undercover as campers to find out who or what is responsible. To have any chance of saving the day, they’ll need to follow the grisly trail of science experiments gone wrong.
Written by Rainbow Award-winning author C.B. Lee (Not Your Sidekick) and illustrated by Mattia Di Meo (Adventure Time/Regular Show), Ben 10: For Science! is an action-packed adventure based on Cartoon Network’s hit TV series.
