Book Description
Holly always assumed that getting superpowers would be the hard part of becoming a superhero. But when a transformer explodes overhead on her way home from work one day, she’s forced to reconsider—getting them was easy. After she’s released from the hospital, she discovers she can control electricity. While Holly is practicing her newfound ability in the backyard, her younger brother Jesse sees her and decides to use his training in martial arts to teach his sister how to rein in her power. It’s only a matter of time before they’re a superheroic crime-fighting duo—or so they want to believe. But it’s a lot harder to be a superhero than it seems.

Pages : 130
Book Description
The New York Times Best Seller! Jack Skellington is the undisputed Pumpkin King of Halloween Town. But it wasn’t always that way... Years ago, Jack and Oogie Boogie were close friends. Both eager to prove themselves, they poured all their passion into their fantastical projects to earn their rightful place as the scariest duo in town. But there could only be one Pumpkin King! What could have happened to turn two best friends into such bitter rivals? "Even if you are not familiar with the original film, the graphic novel The Nightmare Before Christmas: The Battle For Pumpkin King does justice to the original. Dan Conner’s writing flows the story with the right amount of humour. Deborah Allo draws every line as if the environment and the characters are alive and we are there in the town with them. We can not miss the finesse in colouring that Roberto Scalia executes. My overall impression is that this story is beautifully illustrated; it has easy-to-follow, funny dialogues with cleverly placed subtexts on the importance of friendship and honesty." — Ilgın Side Soysal, The Comics Beat
