Minnie Pouches in the Microrealm

Minnie is super-strong and super-anxious... but she'll have to journey through the MicroRealm to save her best friends: her five pets!

Her parents are famous scientists and multiverse travel influencers...but Minnie Pouches hates being on camera. She feels too big, too shy, and too nervous. She can't even finish an important middle school project! One day, when the pressure becomes too much, Minnie rage-quits her parents' show and activates her stylish fanny pack to disappear into the MicroRealm. Now, far from home, she'll dance through encounters with greasy pizza dinosaurs, angry laser robots, and toothy pool floats to push past her fears, find her missing pets, and save the entire family.

Crack open new worlds of adventure in this all-new graphic novel from Eisner-winner Caleb Goellner (TMNT/Naruto, Ghost Cage) and Eric Lide (Sonic the Hedgehog, DragonForged: Sword of the Champion).
