This summer, Skybound Entertainment and Image Comics will launch Skybound Comet, a graphic novel imprint for middle-grade and young adult readers featuring books like Tillie Walden’s “Clementine,” and Tri Vuong & Irma Kniivila’s “Everyday Hero Machine Boy.” One young adult title will be “Sea Serpent’s Heir,” a fantasy trilogy by Mairghread Scott (“Transformers: Till All Are One”) and Pablo Tunica (“TMNT Universe”), and we are proud to present an exclusive nine-page excerpt from the first installment, arriving this fall.

Art by Pablo TunicaFor teenage Aella, growing up is hard. Even harder when you find out that you’re the reincarnation of an ancient sea serpent that’s destined to destroy the world, in a graphic novel trilogy from acclaimed creators Mairghread Scott and Pablo Tunica.
THE END OF THE WORLD IS COMING.
For Aella, life on Kinamen Isle is one of boredom. Spending her days fishing and minding her aunts, she dreams of life beyond the horizon. Everything changes, however, when she awakens an ancient evil within herself as it’s revealed that she’s the reincarnation of Xir, the serpent that almost destroyed the world. Worse yet, a fanatical religious organization has arrived on Kinamen Isle in search of Xir.
As Aella is forced to fight for her life, she’ll discover that her entire world is not what it seems. Her aunts know more than they let on and what exactly does the infamous Pirate Queen want with Aella?
