Now Scholastic is gearing up for the release of the second Animorphs graphic novel (adapting The Vistor book) and we’ve got an exclusive first look at not only the cover but four interior pages as well! First up is the cover. Right off the bat we’ve got the famous cat morph from the original novel’s cover adapted to the top banner of this graphic novel. Next up are the interior pages of the graphic novel and these are, much like the first graphic novel, very faithful to the original book. These four pages adapt the ending of chapter four and the start of chapter five from the original book, though it adds some extra dialogue. The details of Rachel’s partial Elephant morph are spot on, even down to her still having human eyes and hair. The split shoes are also a great touch and something the Animorphs quickly had to figure out how to avoid as the books went on. (Did I crosscheck these pages with the original novel? Yes!) Also, excellent ‘AppleGrant’ Easter egg on the book shop, referencing the original authors of the book series. On sale: October 5, 2021 ISBN: 9781338538397 The wildly popular, bestselling sci-fi series by Katherine Applegate and Michael Grant returns in a new full-color graphic novel series, adapted by Chris Grine. Rachel is still reeling from the news that Earth is secretly under attack by parasitic aliens, the Yeerks. Now she and her friends are the planet’s only defense — five kids who, purely by chance, stumbled onto a downed spacecraft and were given the power to morph into any animals they touch. The team’s best lead is their assistant principal, Mr. Chapman, who is the human host to a high-ranking Yeerk official. It’s not much, but Rachel’s always been a daredevil, and she volunteers to infiltrate Chapman’s home. Rachel is tough. She’s fearless. But what she finds inside may be more than even she can handle. Stay tuned to Den of Geek for all things Animorphs!
