An All Ages Reading Adventure! Bayani, a boy of 11, is desperately trying to care for his sick father and keep food on the table for his family. Unfortunately, the sun has been shining down on his islands for the last month and night refuses to fall. The land is growing parched from the constant heat and the fish are moving further and further away from shore. During this disaster, the rain god, Pati', recruits Bayani to undertake a daring quest to rescue the nine kidnapped daughters of Lady Moon from some horrible monsters. Bayani embarks on this great adventure with his friend, Tala, and using their wits, they try to defeat one hideous creature after another in their quest to rescue each of the Moon's daughters and ultimately save their village. “Travis, Grant, and company have created a vibrant world populated with compelling characters and unique creatures...this is the sort of great storytelling we don’t get enough of in mainstream comics.” - Andy Lanning (MARVEL’s Guardian of the Galaxy) “A wild ride through Filipino forklore that delivers legendary fun!” - Greg Wright (Author - Wild Bullets, Monstrous).

This is the collection of the first three comics. My dad purchased them from the Detroit Comic Book Convention. Overall it was a cute story, but wasn't for me. The art wasn't my favorite, which is important for me in a comic. I think middle schoolers and younger kids would really like this.
